dovecot - Apr 2010 - dovecot-2.0.beta4: compiler gets stuck making master-service-settings.o Mac OS X 10.6.2

dovecot-2.0.beta4

Environment:

MacOS X 10.6.2, Xcode 3.2.1 (gcc-4.2)

Problem:

./configure --sysconfdir=/usr/local/conf/

make

[...]

/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. 
-I../../src/lib -I../../src/lib-settings
-DPKG_RUNDIR=\""/usr/local/var/run/dovecot"\"

master-service-settings.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/master-service-settings.Tpo -c
master-service-settings.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/master-service-settings.o

never ends (well, I let it take over 3 minutes of cpu on a Xserve 2.26GHz Xeon
and over 5 minutes on a Core 2 Duo before killing it).

Any ideas?

Thanks

Giuliano

Hello Giuliano,

You may want to add flag -fno-reorder-blocks to line 121 of
src/lib-master/Makefile:

	CFLAGS = -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -fno-reorder-blocks -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2
-Wbad-function-cast -Wstrict-aliasing=2

then run make.

Otherwise, Timo devised those patches:

	http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/ddbc6e8b2776
	http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/43f2452b7dd8
	http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/f483bbface26

which also are included in the current development tarball
(http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/archive/tip.tar.gz).

It is likeley that there a slight problem with Apple's implementation of GNU
suite (bug report submitted).

HTH,
Axel

Thank you Axel! The Makefile mod worked. That was an experiment for me, I have
then decided to compile and run 1.1.8 for this particular server as it is a
production one, albeit just a fully backed up archive...
