What dependencies? The acl and xattr headers are simply part of a
normal osx install with developer tools. No fink/etc needed.
really? then, perhaps, i'm misunderstanding something.
First, to be clear, you are building rsync on Mac OS X, right?
You need at least Tiger.
before i gave up on the v2.6.9+acl+xattr builds, my attempts had
complained about a number of undefined symbols, headers, etc.
to my recollection, at least four referenced & missing headers are:
acls.diff --> #include "lib/sysacls.h"
Don't enable acl support on osx. It doesn't work. You probably don't
have ACLs on your files anyways as it has to be enabled on a per-
filesystem level, and defaults to off.
Supposing rsync did support ACLs on osx, however, it would use:
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 6630 Mar 21 2005 /usr/include/
sys/acl.h
xattrs.diff --> "#include "sysxattr.h"
The file you need, which will be found automatically by configure is:
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 2367 Mar 26 2005 /usr/include/
sys/xattr.h
configure --> #include <features.h>
Why do you need this file? Although configure mentions it, it's only
within the context of a 'linux-glibc' clause.
copyfile.h
This is only needed for apple's hack.
rsync 2.6.9 has nothing to do with this file.
This file is also not free and you can't redistribute it.
each of the above errors was resolved, in part, by installing the
dependencies i'd mentioned.
I don't understand why you installed rpms onto a mac. Maybe this is
miscommunication and you are talking about compiling on linux?
If you are compiling 2.6.9 on mac osx tiger, use these commands:
patch -p1 <patches/acls.diff
patch -p1 <patches/xattrs.diff
./prepare-source
./configure --enable-xattr-support
make
NOTE: I did not enable acl support.
