Re: Darwin install: GConf-2.10.0/backends/libgconfbackend-oldxml.so

[Fred Leason <fred1480 sbcglobal net>]

Hey all you smart guys and gals.

I'm really stuck here.  Does anyone have any suggestions how to get  
past the

> *** Warning: Linking the executable xml-test against the loadable  
> module
> *** libgconfbackend-oldxml.so is not portable!
> ** Warning, lib libgconfbackend-oldxml.so is a module, not a shared

… issues?  Am I so clueless that I am not asking the right question, or  
a ridiculously stupid question?  Or is Darwin, Mac OS X so far off the  
beaten path?  I was looking at gcc-3.3 documentation and saw that there  
was a Darwin specific option:

       -bind_at_load
           Causes the output file to be marked such that the dynamic  
linker
           will bind all undefined references when the file is loaded or
           launched.

… that could be something I need to add.

If there is a better forum for us nubies, could you please point me in  
the right direction.  Thanks so much.
