[Xastir] Building on OS-X

[John Ronan]

Hi,

Since I updated to OS-X 10.6.2 I haven't had a working xastir installation.  I took a look at it at lunchtime today and got it 'mostly' done.

I've built almost completely from source apart from openmotif (I used the binary from http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Mac_OSX) .

My configure line is
/configure  \\
--with-motif-includes=/usr/OpenMotif/include \\
--includedir=/usr/local/include/GraphicsMagick/ \\
--libdir=/usr/local/lib/GraphicsMagick-1.3.7/ \\
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include \\
--with-bdp-libdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib

It's finding the db header file but not the library files.

here is an extract from config.log

I guess it's defaulting to db-4.9 as it's somehow not finding the 4.8 libraries which I've put into the ./configure above.

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

Note: I'm only adding map caching for completeness.  

Other than that it's working great :) oh and nice article in Linux Journal Kurt (and co-authors), well done.
