A brief update: trying to hack my way into building with the Xcode 3 tool chain on 10.7, I run immediately into a problem: the first "autoconf" use tries to verify that the C compiler works, which as I mentioned previously, won't work unless you provide a pointer to the pieces. The prereq spkg build halts because the "plain" command cc -o conftest conftest.c fails. I tried defining "CFLAGS" with the "isysroot" flag on the command line of the 'make', but that failed in two ways: first, there's a check to see whether my "make" invocation sets $(MAKE); without setting CFLAGS (invoking as usual), the answer is yes; with CFLAGS set, the answer is no. The main problem is the above compile problem: the compiler doesn't produce binaries, so the build halts. If anyone has a suggestion to get past this, let me know. In the meantime, I will switch to trying out Xcode 4. Justin -- Justin C.
