[xmlblaster] Compiling cpp client in mac osx

[Ricardo Jorge Jota <rjc at immi.inesc-id.pt>]

Hello,

I'm having some troubles compiling xmlBlaster c++ client in Mac OS X  
10.4 and was wondering if anyone
had successfully compiled the c++ client in Mac OS X. I ran into  
several troubles, some of then I managed to solve.

Prior to the compilation I installed the required libraries and  
edited the build.properties:

- Zlib was already installed in osx (/usr )
- Using fink I installed both xerces-c_2.6.0 and sqlite 2.8.16 (/sw)

- Build.properties:
XMLBLASTER_ZLIB=1
zlib.include.dir=/usr/include
zlib.lib.dir=/usr/lib
# On Windows you have to choose the name, usually 'zlib' or  
'zlib1' (defaults to 'z' for UNIX):
zlib.lib.name=zlib

#SQLITE
XMLBLASTER_PERSISTENT_QUEUE=1
sqlite.include.dir=/sw/include
sqlite.lib.dir=/sw/lib

#XERCES
xerces.include.dir=/sw/include/xercesc
xerces.lib.dir=/sw/lib
xerces.lib.name=xerces-c_2

XMLCPP_HOME = /sw/lib


---------
During the compilation i got the following errors:

- First malloc.h wasn't being found. This was easily solved editing  
the #include in source code.

After this problem was solved the following command (the ./build - 
verbose cpp showed me the command)
gcc -g -prebind -dynamiclib -o libxmlBlasterClientCD.dylib ../ 
build.tmp/objCD/helper.o ../build.tmp/objCD/ 
XmlBlasterAccessUnparsed.o ../build.tmp/objCD/ 
CallbackServerUnparsed.o ../build.tmp/objCD/ 
XmlBlasterConnectionUnparsed.o ../build.tmp/objCD/msgUtil.o ../ 
build.tmp/objCD/xmlBlasterSocket.o ../build.tmp/objCD/ 
SQLiteQueue.o ../build.tmp/objCD/Properties.o ../build.tmp/objCD/ 
xmlBlasterZlib.old: warning prebinding disabled because of undefined  
symbols

ld: Undefined symbols:

Most of these undefined symbols were solved by removing the -prebind  
and including the right libraries, thus the new command looked like :
gcc -g -dynamiclib -L/usr/lib -L/sw/lib -lsqlite -lz -lpthread   /*  
The rest of the command was removed */

Unfortunately _gethostbyname_r doesn't get solved and after  
"googling" it seems that this symbols doesn't exist in OS X.

Any help would be really appreciated,
