Re: Build fails on Darwin

[Jens Vagelpohl <jens@digicool.com>]

jim,

if i remember correctly (i did this a few weeks ago just for testing) i got
it built using::

./configure --without-threads --disable-dynamic

i think i had it throw errors when it came to the linking stage because the
shared library handling in OS X seems to be kind of braindead (like e.g. one
big flat namespace for symbol names for the application so it fails if two
modules export the same symbol name etc.)
