Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

II wonder if the current patch for glib2 is sufficient to get the right flags for the libraries.

Problem is:

1 - aclocal is reused to build the various Makefile.
   It uses automake 1.7, -shared and -export-dynamic flags.

_LT_AC_TAGVAR(hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, $1)='${wl}--rpath $ {wl}$libdir' _LT_AC_TAGVAR(export_dynamic_flag_spec, $1)='${wl}--export- dynamic'

Hrm? But those are only used if $with_gnu_ld is set or the OS is Linux. Unless $with_gnu_ld incorrectly gets set to true, this code shouldn't have any effect..

[...]
Oh, yes, thanks for the explanation.

2 - The various Makefile.am files also use --export-dynamic and a lib name which does not seem to be the right one for Mac.

for example Makefile.am in glib directory:

libglib_2_0_la_LDFLAGS = \
    -version-info $(LT_CURRENT):$(LT_REVISION):$(LT_AGE) \
    -export-dynamic $(no_undefined) $(export_symbols)

That is indeed nonsense, and we should patch it; furthermore, upstream should be notified that they are not portable there.
I have not filed a bug here because I don't know exactly what should be the correct solution, and if it is the same for Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4. Actually I've been said today that there is no developper on gnome core working on a Mac, so that they need the patch, otherwise the bug report could not be taken into account.

Cheers,
