Re: Building Cyrus SASL on Mac OS X El Capitan

Thanks to a private note that ended up with me looking at what Apple does (all their open source software can be found at www.opensource.apple.com), I was able to quickly find a solution that involves patching the libtool script built by configure. After that, I seem to have a good build and a rebuild of Postfix linked to it works as expected.

After ./configure, patch libtool as follows:
--- libtool	2015-12-23 21:45:07.000000000 -0600
+++ libtool.patched	2015-12-23 21:47:23.000000000 -0600

Then make and make install.

Also, for the second question below regarding install_name pointing at /usr/lib, that was taken care of by specifying --with-plugindir=/usr/local/lib/sasl2 and --with-configdir=/usr/local/lib/sasl2 on ./configure. I think (unless I missed something) that (along with the defaults) keeps everything in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include so it does not conflict with or overwrite what Apple has provided in /usr/lib and /usr/include.

But as Apple seems to want to provide less and less, I've been trying to move all the server stuff I run on my Macintosh to self-built from source. Cyrus SASL is the last piece and I am having no success (I build Postfix with Cyrus SASL for outgoing SASL authentication).

As of El Capitan, Apple's new "rootless" environment prohibits any changes to /usr (other than /usr/local) unless you go through some strongly discouraged steps to turn off that protection.
