As I noted in another email, 1.7.4's README claims support for Mac OSX versions 10.5 through 10.7. So, I just now tried (but failed) to build on 10.5 (Leopard):
*** Assembler checking dependency style of gcc -std=gnu99... gcc3 checking for BSD- or MS-compatible name lister (nm)... /usr/bin/nm -p checking the name lister (/usr/bin/nm -p) interface... BSD nm checking for fgrep... /usr/bin/grep -F checking if need to remove -g from CCASFLAGS... OS X Leopard - yes ( -O3 -DNDEBUG -finline-functions -fno-strict-aliasing) checking whether to enable smp locks... yes checking if .proc/endp is needed... no checking directive for setting text section... .text checking directive for exporting symbols... .globl checking for objdump... no checking if .note.GNU-stack is needed... no checking suffix for labels... : checking prefix for global symbol labels... none configure: error: Could not determine global symbol label prefix The same failure is seen on a PPC system running OSX Leopard, too. However, I figure it best to focus on getting x86 working first before worrying any about PPC. The only configure option used was --prefix. The bzip2-compressed config.log is attached. -Paul -- Paul H.
