dovecot - Nov 2007 - 1.1beta9 'make' fails on osx/Tiger

(Yes, Really .... w/ gcc v4.2.1, like i said in the first place)

i'm using Apple's gcc 4.2.1:

  http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/gcc_42-5531/

and the v4.2.1 Tiger equiv from the R-project provided at

  http://r.research.att.com/tools/

both Apple & ATT are _already_ well plugged into both .. er .. Apple &
GNU.

yes, 4.2.1 is "not distro" ... but it *is* up-n-coming, as evienced by
the fact that it *is* offered on the darwinsource page.

i'd gather tss would like to know about issues.  (it shouldn't be
terribly surprising for a projects' beta release to at least be
_tried_ with _other_ projects' beta releases ...)

cheers.

That is usually a good idea, especially if you mention that you are  
using non standard stuff so that folks who are not aware of that can  
then get a better understanding of the issues. Or for the elucidation  
of the folks that are following the list trying to decide what efforts  
they will have to undertake to make the switch.

p.s. The folks at AT&T also recommend that "you" use the newer
version
of gcc than the older-hacked-to-get-something-for-Tiger version of the  
Apple Leopard version they (AT&T) are providing -- it is further down  
the page where they provide links.

just looked at the page & have no idea what you're referring to ...
can you quote?
