Re: Compiling minimal_client on MacOS X

Hi Jeremy,
thanks a lot for your help.

I already tried to use the static libraries instead of the dynamic
ones, but they seem to be incomplete. At least with my installation
of the 1.4.4 version, there are no libapr, libaprutil static libraries.
Building them via the source code, results in compiler errors for at
least xmltok_impl.c, which is part of the apr-utils. I'm wondering
which compiler settings may be necessary to compile it.
In the neon project I'm also getting compiler errors, that - e.g. -
gnutls.h can't be found. Do I have to install anything else?

If in your case, using the souce is straight forward, would may I do
wrong? I just set up an XCode project for a tool and added the
include paths and the code and it should work fine.
And yes, I ran the configure tools before trying to compile.

Ciao
Bert
