Working with an associate we noticed that XCode was also experiencing
some build issues and as it turned out, we have some software
installed that is affecting the environment is some way so I snagged
an old B&W G3-400 to use as a build platform.
I wasn't able to nail down the specific software at fault however,
after a fresh install on the snagged machine I can report that
darwinbuild appears to be operating without issues however.
While I build the Perl software I'm experiencing an issue that
involves setrgid and setruid not being implemented.
Seems that this isn't being supported for some reason however I'm not
experiencing any build problems.
As a side test, I tried building the Perl for 10.4 under 10.3.9 and
it builds without issue but also experiences the same problem with
setrgid and setruid.
Going a step further, I substituted 5.8.6 with 5.8.7, tar'd it back
up and this built without problems but also experiences the setrgid
and setruid problem.
One thing I did notice when I upped the perl to 5.8.7 was that it
warned about two patches which seemed to already be applied but this
was the only issue that was reported and no build errors were
experienced.
I made a minor change to the patch file and this resolved the warning
about a previously applied patch.
I then installed OSXS 10.4, upgraded to 10.4.3 and tried to build the
perl software and it seems that it also suffers the same problem with
setrgid and setruid.
I've checked unistd.h in both the 7W98 and 8C47 and the entries exist
for these functions so I'm not sure what's causing the problem.
Since my general build issues have been resolved I'm not sure if this
is the appropriate list or I should be posting to darwin-userlevel.
At this point I'm just happy that I can build the software however
the setrgid and setruid issue are causing me problems when the
software is implemented.
The only other question I have is this, it seems that when building
under 10.4 the binaries are being built for ppc and i386, is there a
way to reduce the build to ppc only ???
