D'oh! I could have swarn I did "-lSystem"! But testing it again now,
it's working with "-lSystem", so I guess I didn't. Gah! I hadn't slept
much yesterday -- that's my only excuse.
Because libSystem provides libdbm. It's pretty common to fool the
linker by using symlinks - in fact, different library versions are
usually symlinked to a version-less filename.
Yes, right, okay. Not as elegant, though.
Not a very elegant solution, unfortunately. I wonder if there's
another way to get it to work...
YES! I found it! In src/Configure, I did DBM_LIB="", and that did the
trick -- gcc just finds it in libSystem, and doesn't bother trying to
find libdbm or anything. Yay! Here's a diff for it that should work
without affecting other platforms:
Conceptually, it would be better to go back and do DBM_LIB="-lSystem"
(with the dash), because that's where it's actually located.
I'll update my patch and resubmit it to the Apache developers.
Thanks Ken,
David
