Sorry, I've misread your mail.
But don't give up, I think that if we correct the headers in 10.3, we
have a chance to make it compile. We should look at the ACL and xattr
code and see if there are only constant and variable definition on
the system headers that are not found in 10.3 or if it's more deep
lied to the 10.4 API. In this case it represents much more work, but
we have the chance that the basic system layer (Darwin) of 10.4 is
released open source... So maybe we could take some code from there
to have our xattr on 10.3...
So, if nobody have a better idea, I think we should proceed like this:
1) Look on ACL and xattr code to understand what code they expect
from the system
2a) If it's just a definition stuff (variable declaration, constants,
etc) we can try a workaround of the configure script or something to
put another header for 10.3 systems giving all those stuff that
aren't built-in in the system headers. This shouldn't represent a lot
of work
2b) If xattr and ACL code expect to use system fonctions, it won't be
so simple... We can try patching the 10.3 system with some code of
Darwin 8 (system code of 10.4 OS) hoping not have to go too deep, but
just getting 1 or 2 files from it.
3) compile rsync with xattr support successfully with our little
hacking.
I will start looking into the code to try to figure out xattr and acl
dependencies on the system. But I don't have Mac OS 10.3 here, only
10.4. It will be impossible for me to make any test today.
Chin up, we can do it!

Hi Vitorio,
Well, actually, it only compiles only with --disable-acl-support --
disable-xattr-support. which kind of defeats the whole purpose
since xattrs are out of the picture.

Interesting,
So patched rsync compiles with --disable-acl-support --enable-
xattr-support.
Can you give an output of rsync --version to see if it says that
xattr is enabled on capabilities?
Best regards,

Hi Matt,
I tried
./configure --disable-acl-support --enable-xattr-support
and got
`XATTR_NOFOLLOW' undeclared (first use in this function)
so then
/configure --disable-acl-support --disable-xattr-support
which worked
then added patches
patch -p1 <patches/flags.diff
patch -p1 <patches/osx-create-time.diff
./configure --disable-acl-support --enable-xattr-support
make
OK this time. Then I tried some simple tests on OS10.3X
mypathto/rsync -a --fileflags testdir destdir (no AX of course!)
It works and flags seem to work at least for locked files.
Creation time was not saved though.....
any thoughts on xattrs or creation dates? Quite a few people
still ask me to make support scripts on OS 10.3.9. Acls probably
not such an issue on OS 10.3 and earlier.
Thanks Rob
