SA (v303/snap) 'make' fails (Bus Error) @ "spamc" on OSX 10.4.1 + WORKAROUND

[OpenMacNews <Op...@speakeasy.net>]

hi all,

i'm building SpamAssassin (v3.0. & latest snap) on OSX 10.4.1 w/ gcc4.

short story:

	(a) Net::DNS prereq FAILS to build; need DEV version
	(b) config of SA 'complains' about Net::DNS version, and 
"Net::Ident::_export_hooks()"
	(c) 'make' fails:
		make: *** [spamc/Makefile] Bus error
	(d) workaroud is to manually configure in spamc/

long story -- THE DETAILS ...

1st the prereq 'issue' -- Net::DNS ...

CPAN's Net::DNS fails to build correctly on Tiger:

	cref: http://www.mail-archive.com/macosx@perl.org/msg05790.html

even (4 me) with the proposed fix @:

	http://www.net-dns.org/blog/post/1/15

so i built/installed the latest developer build:

	cref: http://search.cpan.org/%7Eolaf/Net-DNS-0.49_02/
	http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/O/OL/OLAF/Net-DNS-0.49_02.tar.gz

with this prereq in place, after successful build/install of razor-agents2.67, 
i move on to SpamAssassin.

with EITHER:

   wget 
http://apache.oregonstate.edu/spamassassin/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.3.tar.gz
   wget 
http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/spamassassin/spamassassin_20050531043757.tar.gz

configuring as:

   unsetenv CFLAGS CPPFLAGS CXX CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS LDDLFLAGS LD_PREBIND 
EXTRA_LDFLAGS EXTRA_LIBS LC_ALL LANG LINGUAS
   setenv LANG "en_US"
   setenv LC_ALL "C"
   setenv CFLAGS "-DSPAMC_SSL"

   perl Makefile.PL \
   PREFIX=/usr/local/spamassassin \
   DATADIR=/var/Data/SpamAssassin \
   CONFDIR=/var/Settings/SpamAssassin \
   ENABLE_SSL="yes" \
   LDDLFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto" \
   LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -ldl"

the usual:

	"Check network rules during 'make test' (test scripts may fail due to
	network problems)? (y/n) [n]"


a subsequent 'make' FAILS in both cases

		to avoid:
			/usr/local/perl5/bin/perl spamc/configure.pl 
--prefix="/usr/local/spamassassin" --sysconfdir="/var/Settings/SpamAssassin" 
--datadir="/var/Data/SpamAssassin" --enable-ssl="yes"
			cd spamc
			/usr/local/perl5/bin/perl version.h.pl
			version.h.pl: creating version.h
			make: *** [spamc/Makefile] Bus error

after a bit of poking around, it seems there's no "version.h" or "Makefile" 
getting built in spamc/, so ...
to workaroud this error, b4 invoking 'make' at the top of the tree:

   cd spamc
   perl version.h.pl
   ./configure --enable-ssl

then, simply:

	cd ../
	make

'make' _now_ completes successfully.

'make test' results in:

	5 tests skipped.
	Failed 1/68 test scripts, 98.53% okay. 1/1492 subtests failed, 99.93% okay.
	make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2
	
	t/razor2....................sh: line 1: razor-report: command not found
	'razor-report < data/spam/001' failed. This may cause this test to fail.

	Argument "0.49_02" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at

tied, apparently, to the Net::DNS version issue, above; but it doesn't look 
fatal ...

a subsequent 'make install' completes as well, resulting in:

cd /usr/local/spamassassin/bin
