[caudium-devel] Building on FreeBSD

[Dwight Schauer <das AT teegra.net>]

I'm trying to build caudium on FreeBSD 6.2 amd64 an am running into a 
few problems. I've tried 1.4.8, and the 20070302 cvs snapshots for 1.4.9 
and 1.5.1.

I'm configuring as follows:

MAKE=gmake ./configure --prefix=/home/caudium 
--with-pike=/home/pike/bin/pike --without-PiXSL

which resulted in the following summary:
--< start clip >--
Caudium is now configured.  This is some information about
the build environment. If the wrong pike was selected, try
re-running configure with '--with-pike=/path/to/correct/pike'.

Checking for potential compatibility problems with your Pike 
installation...

Pike is missing support for the following database backends:
        Msql, Oracle and sybase
Supported backends:
        Mysql, Odbc and Postgres

When I run gmake, it runs along for a while, then fails:

1.4.8, 1.4.9, and 1.5.1 all act the same way.

For now I assume this means I'll need to rebuild my c runtime with 
-fPIC, or build it elsewhere with -fPIC, and have caudium reference that.

Any other useful suggestions would be appreciated.
