Hello,
This is my first post to the list, hopefully it isn't too silly. My
apologies if this is a common I am trying to compile AOLServer 3.5.1

OS X. I have already installed it successfully on RH Linux 7.3
without a
problem, but OS X seems to have some peculiarities.
I had to recompile TCL with the --enable thread options, so I just went
ahead and upgraded to version 8.4.1. I was able to configure just
fine, and
the Make went fine for individual files, other than the occasional
warning.
However, after a few minutes I get the following output:
[snip]
My guess is that this is something to do with late/early binding
differences
on the Mac, as libnsthread does exist in the nsthread directory. Any
ideas?
I am not a C programmer, so some of this stuff is way above my head.
Do I
need to use a different compiler argument or set an environment
variable for
use with OS X?
Thanks in advance. I have searched the list archives and FAQ and not
seen
anything on this subject.

Ok, I was able to successfully build aolserver 3.5.1 with tcl 8.4.1 on
mac osx 10.2.2 as follows:
I got Tcl 8.4.1 from here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.4.1-src.tar.gz?download
$ tar -zxf tcl-8.4.1.tar.gz
$ cd tcl-8.4.1/macosx
At this point I built it, but when installing it it choked on building
the HTML docs, which I didn't really need so I cut that part out by
replacing line 494 in tcl-8.4.1/macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj with:
shellScript = "echo";
After that, you can continue like this:
$ make
$ sudo make install
(note: it automatically builds with --enable-thread set)
It installs the Tcl libraries and headers as a Framework in
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework.
I did the following to build aolserver:
$ tar -zxf aolserver-3.5.1-src.tar.gz
$ cd aolserver-3.5.1-src
$ ./configure --prefix=/projects/ns351
--with-tcl=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework
$ make
$ sudo make install
... and it built just fine.
