Re: readline and the Mac build

First, thank you for all your help. (Thanks Fabian, Babis and Stefan.) I finally had a chance to figure this out -- with the Macports distribution of readline, and now have a Mac package with proper readline integration. What worked with this distribution was to run configure with these options: --with-readline=/opt/local CFLAGS=-DLIBICONV_PLUG /opt/local is where I have my macports libraries, including readline. However, in macports' distribution of iconv, if LIBICONV_PLUG, is not defined, some function names are redefined. I guess macports authors did this in order to avoid some potential collisions with the "readline" library that comes with Mac OS-X (or xcode). The "-DLIBICONV_PLUG" compiler option disables the redefinition of function names in macports' iconv. Regards, Masood On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 3:16 AM, Charalampos Nikolaou wrote:

Hi, in my case I always pass the following parameters to the configure script, both for the case of readline and iconv:

--with-readline=/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.1 --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.13.1

The contents of /usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.1 are the following:

$ ls /usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.1 COPYING ChangeLog README include/ lib/ share/

And I do not use the system's readline, but the one provided by Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/).

In your case, I suppose that you have to specify something like this:

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.X.sdk/usr (X depending on your OS X version).

Hope that helps, Babis

P.S.: A little out of context, but it might come in handy during the build process. I also pass the following parameter/value during configure, because at some point an update in Xcode messed things up by not removing/updating some old function prototypes (I think in the SSL library, but I might be mistaken here).

CFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated-declarations

On my system, with default (no argument or options) configure, make and make install, I have:

masood$ mclient --version

mclient, the MonetDB interactive terminal (unreleased)

despite the fact that readline (headers and libraries) seem to be installed under /opt/local.

You give the answer yourself. The configure script does not know you happened to install (GNU) readline under /opt/local/{include,lib}. Tell it where your readline is, so it can consider using it.
