[jadmin] building AIM-transport on Mac OS X 10.4.2

[Billy Gray]

Michael,

GCC on Mac OS X does not support the -shared option, which is why you
see this line in the make output:
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0: unrecognized option `-shared'

Usually, on Linux, gcc passed the -shared flag on to the linker ld,
which then produces a .so shared library.  On Mac OS X, you would
instead use the Mac OS X libtool binary (not to be confused with the
GNU libtool) to produce a dynamic shared library (.dylib).

This usually requires some hacking of the Makefile, so you're going to
want to probably consult with whoever penned the Aim-Transport. 
Somewhere in the Makefile, there will be a target that attempts to
call gcc with the -shared flag to produce a .so file, and you'll want
to change that line to pass compiled libraries (.o files) to libtool,
for example:

libtool -dynamic $(LIBOBJS) -o $(LIBNAME_DYLIB)

The relevant documentation for creating dynamic shared libraries in
Mac OS X using libtool can be found in the developer tools
documentation on your mac (/Developer/Documentation) under 'Mac OS X
Runtime Architecture'
(file:///Developer/Documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/MachORuntime/index.html).

I hope that helps you, please let us know how you make out!  You may
also be able to get some decent help on the internal Mac OS X Server
list on Apple's website.
