Hi,

anyone tried to compile 0.8.4-test1 from svn-trunk on FreeBSD5.4?
Seems there's serious problem in the Makefiles, all targets fail immediately:

Is FreeBSD no longer a supported OS

some makefile/autotools errors were fixed several days ago. Could you try with current svn ?

Thanks, it's much better now, all modules compile fine.
But it still doesn't link:

Strange, since libintl was found and Makefile know about it:
LIBINTL = /usr/local/lib/libintl.so -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib
LTLIBINTL = -L/usr/local/lib -lintl -R/usr/local/lib

Got it, FreeBSD needs:

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib

before configure is run.
