Ok.

Since I can't get postfix/local to work properly, I'm trying to use cyrus to deal with mail.  However I can't get it to properly compile.  I'm getting the similar error that had arisen when I was compiling a perl module...except the solution that worked before of course does not work for this one.

I had searched the netbsd site and found these references:

On 03-Jan-99 Paul Goyette spoke unto us all:
#  I get the following errors installing the socks5 package.  Any hints on
#  what to do?
# 
#  ===>  Building for socks5-1.0.2
#  ld -o libsocks5_sh.so -Bshareable msg.o protocol.o log.o hostname.o
#    confutil.o buffer.o cache.o wrap.o wrap_tcp.o wrap_udp.o     conf.o
#    libproto.o select.o rld.o null.o addr.o shim.o dpin.o dpinutil.o
#    upwd.o gss.o cram.o -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -lcrypt
#  ld: invalid command option `-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib'

It's whining because -Wl,-R is a flag to CC, that should get passed to the
linker.  socks is invoking the linker directly.

Two things come to mind:

replace ld with cc and pray.

libtool this pkg.  (preferred)

I don't quite understand the $(LDFLAGS) other than I think it's a compile time variable and I'm not sure how to do what the second speaks about.

My error is the following:
---

I see similarities but not sure on the solition.

Thanks.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
