And if you want me to test vqAdmin with the config.guess and config.sub files from vpopmail then I'm happy to do that. But I found the following configure command worked for me (before I saw your reply). I found a recommendation to try powerpc-apple-bsd instead of powerpc-apple-darwin after extensive googling. ./configure --build=powerpc-apple-bsd \ --enable-cgibindir=/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables \ --enable-htmldir=/Library/WebServer/Documents I have vqAdmin installed and working fine now. If you need someone to test/compile future versions of vpopmail/qmailadmin/vqadmin on an OS X box, please let me know. I will be happy to help.

[vchkpw] Building vqAdmin for OS X (darwin)
Good afternoon,
Should it be possible to build vqAdmin on OS X? I can't get past
the ./configure step; I get errors like the following:
$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
/usr/local/src/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing: Unknown `--run' option
Try `/usr/local/src/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking build system type... configure: error: cannot guess
build type; you must specify one
I have tried specifying various build types ('darwin',
'powerpc-apple-darwin', etc) but I continue getting errors:
$ ./configure --build=darwin
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
/usr/local/src/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing: Unknown `--run' option
Try `/usr/local/src/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing

checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `darwin':
machine `darwin' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub darwin failed
I'm not familiar with the 'missing' script, so not sure how to
debug that error. This is the output from missing --help:
$ /usr/local/src/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing --help
/usr/local/src/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing [OPTION]... PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...
Handle `PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...' for when PROGRAM is missing, or
return an
error status if there is no known handling for PROGRAM.
Options:
-h, --help display this help and exit
-v, --version output version information and exit
Supported PROGRAM values:
aclocal touch file `aclocal.m4'
autoconf touch file `configure'
autoheader touch file `config.h.in'
automake touch all `Makefile.in' files
bisoncreate `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]
flex create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
lex create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
makeinfo touch the output file
yacc create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]
I also googled for any howto's on building vqAdmin on OS X and
couldn't find anything useful. If OS X is simply not a supported
platform (yet) but you would like to add support, I'm happy to
help but I will need assistance to know to get it working.
Thanks,
Charlie
PS. I have qmailadmin ( all other components) working just fine.
