As a thought, some of the modules have hard coded LDFLAGS in their Makefiles which break compilation on OSX: * gmysqlbackend * gpgsqlbackend * goraclebackend <-- uncommon module as per this email The flags are "-Wl,-Bstatic" and " -Wl,-Bdynamic". It's probably just a matter of getting automake to create the correct platform specific flags. But, I didn't see how the other day when I took a look at it quickly. Created an issue for this on GitHub if anyone's interested: https://github.com/Habbie/powerdns/issues/56 + Justin > Breakage in any other backend will go unnoticed by our tests (although there > are plenty of pipe users who frequently update from SVN). > > If you are using any backend not in this list, please talk to me about adding > it to our testing setup.
