Hi,
Trying to get RabbitMQ installed on OSX and the first hurdle is that Erlang does not appear to build.
The build fails with errors on install, due to the strip command generating errors about symbols that can not be stripped as in the example error below. I edited the build scripts so that the specific file does not get strip run, and the build fails with the same error on another file and so on...
Iv'e attached a patch which fixes the issue (Setting INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED). With this Erlang builds and installs without error.
Is this the correct fix though ? arguably it looks like on OSX strip by default attempts to strip too many symbols, should binaries be stripped at all on install by default ?
Iv'e also attached a second patch that enables kernel poll on OSX.
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/strip: symbols referenced by relocation entries that can't be stripped in: /Users/steven/work/git/pkgsrc/lang/erlang/work/.destdir/opt/pkg/lib/erlang/lib/runtime_tools-1.8.16/priv/obj/dyntrace.o
