Updated install instructions for Citadel and Webcit 7.37 (28/10/2008): External libraries: 1. libsieve Some patches need to be applied to the libsieve to make it compile. You can get these from MacPorts: http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/mail/libsieve/ 2. gettext You will need to install gettext and add "-lintl" to LIBS in webcit's makefile to make that compile http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/ Older instructions from 10.4 era (2005): Theres only a brief bit on OS X in the docs but to save some people time perhaps this can be noted somewhere: All instructions here assume 10.4 (Tiger). Note gcc package difference for earlier versions. The easiest way to get Berkeley DB installed is downloading them via Fink ( http://fink.sourceforge.net ). Install db42 via apt-get . Apparently OS X Server installs already have Berkeley DB. If you haven't got them already, gcc4.0.pkg, Xcode Tools.mpkg, DeveloperTools.pkg and SDK.pkg from Xcode need to be installed to compile (plain old boring Darwin users should already have all of them). Remember to export CC=gcc-4.0 as gcc isn't symlinked by default. libical and webcit install fine, but you need some configure arguments for citadel itself: ./configure --disable-autologin --with-db=/sw/ (--disable-autologin must be there otherwise accounts with the same name as system users won't work! I just spent half an hour bashing my head on this!) If you didn't grab Berkeley DB from Fink, substitute your own path for --with-db. Ignore what the setup script says about Citadel failing to start, start it yourself afterwards. I'm not sure if inittab does anything on OS X / Darwin (AFAIK Apple doesn't really want us to use it), so you can create your own startup scripts in /Library/StartupItems/. See http://www.opendarwin.org/en/articles/system_starter_howto/ Webcit works fine, seems to lock up if you try adding new Internet domains though, add them via the citadel client itself. Other than that: Webcit looks better than it was from when I last used it 6 months ago :-) - Mathew McBride
