I think this is why I decided to make the second version of > pgEdit OS X 10.3 plus. If it helps you, here is what my external > dependencies for psql look like which seems to work OK on 10.3 and 10.4 ok. i suppose this will hold true except in cases where the src code itself has CPU-specificity, e.g. gmp+mpfr's (precursors to ClamAV) floating point routines have (iirc) some CPU-specific optimizations that, i'd guess, would NOT be portable ... tho, to be honest, i haven't stumbled across anyone having issues ... need to dig a bit more. still confused :-} > otool -L psql > psql: > @executable_path/libpq.4.0.dylib (compatibility version 4.0.0, > current version 4.0.0) > /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current > version 1.0.0) > /usr/lib/libresolv.9.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, > current version 324.9.0) > /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, > current version 71.1.1) > > When you say no external dependencies, are you really going to include > the system libraries in your package? not the core Apple OSX system library, per se, but 'my' replacements for some of the bundled 3rd-party stuff ... e.g., *my* current 'psql': /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.0.0, current version 4.1.0) /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl (compatibility version 8.5.0, current version 8.5.0) /usr/local/lib/libreadline.5.0.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0) /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.0.9.7.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.0, current version 0.9.7) /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.0.9.7.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.0, current version 0.9.7) /usr/local/lib/libintl.3.dylib (compatibility version 8.0.0, current version 8.3.0) /usr/lib/libpam.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3) /usr/lib/libresolv.9.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 365.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.0.0) /usr/lib/libmx.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 92.0.0) i'm trying to learn/understand which of these get 'gathered' up into a static build, whether i need to 'manually' pkg them alongside, etc, etc. i just have never done/worried-abt it b4 wrt trad'l F/OSS (i.e., non-OSX .apps), always simply using installed dylibs, etc. my 'goal' it to make a "painless" & complete package to install, preferably into its own tree (within a .app, perhaps), no interfering with, or by, other installed apps/libs/headers/etc. cheers, richard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkNEfrgACgkQGnqMy4gvZ6HAQQCcCc8W3CvLIsXAWjjdwBYso8zc u3wAniEEzferalOIAnLWohAqJQ/YYV0L =lKkO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
