Re: [Evolution] Trouble Building Evolution 2.22.1 on Darwin/Pkgsrc

["J. Alexander Jacocks" <jjacocks gmail com>]

NetBSD pkgsrc is the NetBSD scripts and Makefiles used to build
software, semi-automatically, on NetBSD.  Those scripts have been
ported to several other platforms, notably Mac OS X and Solaris.

Based on your commentary, I wonder if this isn't a Mac OS 10.5
problem, rather than a pkgsrc problem.

Thanks!
