Compiling BerkeleyDB3.3.11 for Mac OS X

[jasont]

First I'd like to thank Keith Bostic and Don Anderson from sleepycat for their support in providing this patch.

I just finished building this and it seems to work.

1) Prerequisite: The latest version of gnu tar from gnu (binary here)
-you can test your version by tar --help (it should say gnu somewhere at the bottom).
-if you have it installed an it isn't run by default run it from its install directory

2) Make the patch file (I called it mail.txt) I'm not sure how well it will post here, but I think I have it down so copy it and save it as mail.txt or whatever you want. Just use that name when patching.

Phew..OK, here's the non ubb edited paste

<snip> I removed this, as i believe it was causing a problem, see my post below. -ob1

If that doesn't work I can either email to admin here or post to an idisk


3) Build the application:
[/CODE]
mkdir bdbuild
cd bdbuild
wget <A HREF="http://www.sleepycat.com/update/3.3.11/db-3.3.11.tar.gz" TARGET=_blank>http://www.sleepycat.com/update/3.3.11/db-3.3.11.tar.gz</A>
tar -zxvf db-3.3.11.tar.gz
cd db-3.3.11
cp /path/to/mail.txt ./
patch -bp0 < mail.txt
cd db-3.3.11/buid_unix
../dist/configure --enable-compat185
make
(make looked like it hung halfway through and I entered a couple of returns, but it continued normally)
sudo -s
make install

BTW, If anyone does get it working with copy and paste can they drop a note in this forum so I know I got that nasty little format right -j

IF anyone feels the need to use this mail.txt file but can't get it to work simply by copy/paste, you can use this link: <A HREF="http://macosx.forked.net/mail.txt" TARGET=_blank>mail.txt</A>.
