Here is a snip from a email conversation I'm having with Terry
Lambert at apple.

The "most correct" way is to get to the point that you can just run
configure, and it kicks out the right Makefiles. You might be able
to put in an Mac OS X/Darwin configuration data file that either it
shouldn't try to use -lcrypt, or that the name of the library
containing crypt is libc (-lc) or libSystem (-lSystem), and it can
basically ignore it, like it does for libnsl (the System V nameserver
library) or libtli (the System V Transport Layer Independence library
- their version of sockets), etc..

Paul, thanks for the reply.
Since I'm new to compile trouble shooting I have a question that
may be
stupid. Isn't the crypt.h included in configure regardless of the
result of the check? It doesn't seem to be wrapped in an if or for
statement. It looks to me like it is always included.
The check by configure is only that, a check. If crypt.h is missing or
non-functional it is not included by any of the source code. Still,
cryptographics as provided by the crypt.h is required, but as you
concluded,
provided by other files. No problem there.
Here is the last bit of output. Not sure what you meant by bail so if
this is not what you were looking for please give me a li
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lcrypt
So that's what I was looking for. You don't have libcrypt on your
system. And I
haven't a clue how to fix that for osx.
Just a quick check tells me that on netbsd it's provided by the
i386-linux
package meant for cross compiling. But since bsd is not my native
platform I'm
quite oblivious as to what provides native crypt.h-a-like services
on bsd.
However, libcrypt is not required by dbmail perse. It's requirement
is generally
determined by the sql backend driver like mysql or postgresql.
mysql_config --libs
on linux:
-L/usr/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm
on netbsd:
-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib/mysql -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib/mysql -
lmysqlclient
-lz -lcrypt -lm -lssl -lcrypto
