[Bug-gnubg] OS/X Build configure.in changes

[Michael Petch]

Hi Achim,

I  am wondering if you can do me a favor. I have sent you an email with the
new  configure.in file.

Can you replace your current configure.in with the one I sent you, then do
the following:

1) Make sure that the package "gmp" is installed (this is the big number
library). Issue this command:

sudo port  install gmp

Then do the following:

unset LDFLAGS
make clean
./autogen.sh

(The above lines are just to make sure we start a fresh build, and I want
you to use a BLANK LDFLAGS entry for this test - configure.in should take
care of LDFLAGS settings automatically now).

Now compile using:

./configure --enable-threads
make

Hopefully it compiles without LDFLAGS.

Now install it:

sudo make install


And run it... You should also have an added line on the console when you run
it that says:

"Long RNG seeds supported."

Your previous build didn't use GMP (even if you had previously installed the
gmp port). I have fixed a problem in configure.in to resolve that as well.

Let me know if things work out. I have tried building on 10.4 and 10.5
platforms (for PPC) and things seem okay. I just need you to verify things
work for you as well.

I have put all these changes over the past few days into CVS already so you
should be able to pull out all the source code from CVS and build without
issues on OS/X.
