[XBoard-devel] Xboard fails compilation on OSX Mavericks

[Einar Risholm]

Hi, I just tried to install Xboard on OSX, the configuration summary says:

        prefix:          /usr/local       

        datarootdir:     ${prefix}/share  

        datadir:         ${datarootdir}   (icons will go in $datadir/icons/hicolor/...)

                                    (bitmaps will go in $datadir/games/xboard/...)

        infodir:         ${datarootdir}/info   (info files will go here)

        sysconfdir:      ${prefix}/etc   (xboard.conf will go here)

        update mimedb:   yes

        NLS support:     no

        GTK:             no

        Xaw3d:           no

        Xaw:             yes

        xpm:             yes

        ptys:            pipes

        zippy:           no

        sigint:          yes

And it fails shortly into make:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make  all-recursive

Making all in po

  CCLD     xboard

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

  "_Match", referenced from:

      _RdTime in parser.o

      _PromoSuffix in parser.o

     (maybe you meant: _MatchOptionsProc, _MatchSoughtLine , _MatchEvent , _MatchProc )

  "_Word", referenced from:

      _Verb in parser.o

      _NextUnit in parser.o

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

make[2]: *** [xboard] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

I tried to google the error, but it didn´t help me much. Seems like symbolic linking or system architecture might be the cause of this problem? I have no idea, any help is much appreciated.
