Thanks to Charles Bailey and OpenMacNews for their kind and helpful words of wisdom.

And as for websrvr,
What is your problem? I merely asked a question. You might want to check yourself with respect to admonishments of etiquette. Are you having a bad day? Did your dog die? Sheesh. I have tried to be kind and ignore you, but I now must say that you have thus far posted the most pompous, self-righteous and useless gusts of babble I've ever had directed at me on a mailing list, and I've been on many mailing lists over the years. And all this without answering a single question! Wow! Fortunately for me, I do not need your help, as other kind souls have by now chipped in and given me the information I needed. Otherwise, I guess I'd spend all day arguing with you about the proper way to ask my question, and I'd never get anywhere.

OK, so we've established that I'm using a non-standard prompt. My apologies. I'm just looking for some help. Does anybody have any ideas how I can overcome this build problem?


I Offered assistance but asked a question which required a response to better assist you which you ignored.

This message that I am responding to is what is commonly refereed to as top posting, in a public forum this is considered bad etiquette.

Your prompt is non-standard so I wasn't about to assume anything.

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is in a doc somewhere, I would think this has been asked, but cannot see any posts on this subject in the list (the info-cyrus archive search engine is slow, as well, so I couldn't do a good number of searches).
Anyhoo,
I tried to run configure on OS X tiger and got the following:


What are you trying to build?



[EMAIL PROTECTED] (cyrus-imapd-2.2.12): uname -a
Darwin Richs-G5.local 8.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.1.0: Tue May 10 18:16:08 PDT 2005; root:xnu-792.1.5.obj~4/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (cyrus-imapd-2.2.12): configure
checking build system type... configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

Found this in the config.log:

## ----------- ##
## Core tests. ##

configure:1347: checking build system type
configure:1356: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one


With some builds, I can sort of guess my way into something that works, but Cyrus seems to be a bit abstruse to my eyes. :-) Help?
Thanks in advance...


You provide little information to determine what software your problem is with so how can help or a solution be offered?

Let's first get some basics out of the way so we can determine if you are wasting your time.

Why are you building CyrusIMAP ?
