I've gotten no replies as yet, but I diagnosed a bit further.
One of the symbols that the link step complained about:
binary_to_hex_append, referenced in
src/lib-var-expand-crypt/var-expand-crypt.c, declared in the header file
src/lib/hex-binary.h.
$ cd src/lib
$ nm .libs/liblib.a
...
hex-binary.o:
0000000000000000 T _binary_to_hex
0000000000000308 T _binary_to_hex_append
$
IOW, that function has been successfully compiled and appears in both
hex-binary.o and the object archive "src/lib/.libs/liblib.a".
Meanwhile, here's the actual compile command for lib-var-expand-crypt:
$ cd src/lib-var-expand-crypt
$ make -n
echo " CCLD " [2]var_expand_crypt.la;/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent
--tag=CC --mode=link gcc
-std=gnu11 -I/opt/homebrew/include -fstack-protector-strong
-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith
-Wchar-subscripts
-Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wno-duplicate-decl-specifier
-Wstrict-aliasing=2
-export-dynamic -avoid-version -module -no-undefined
-L/opt/homebrew/lib -o [3]var_expand_crypt.la
-rpath /opt/homebrew/lib/dovecot var-expand-crypt.lo
...
$
Nothing in that link step seems to reference "liblib.a" (or
"[4]liblib.la", or anything like that).
Why doesn't this link step seem to reference the right library?
Does 2.4.1 build for anyone on MacOS??
It's been a *long* while since I dealt with building source with the GNU
toolchain (libtool and friends), so I'm a bit rusty here.
Help, please?
Hello there,
Sometime around March this year, someone mentioned on this list that they
installed Dovecot 2.4 using Homebrew.
I am not an expert with MacOS, but I would like to know if you could go
that route instead of a manual compile.
