bahamut @2.0.7: Undefined symbols: "_res_mkquery"

[robotoad (Preston Sumner)]

Build fails on fresh MacPorts installation on OS X 10.9.2. Attached is main.log.

I see the same on my system. There are numerous problems. First, the configure script checks for res_mkquery, but doesn't find it:

:info:configure checking for res_mkquery... no
:info:configure checking for res_mkquery in -lresolv... no
:info:configure checking for __res_mkquery... no
:info:configure checking for __res_mkquery in -lresolv... no

Instead of reporting that failure and exiting, the configure script continues. The build then fails because res_mkquery is undefined:

:info:build Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
:info:build   "_res_mkquery", referenced from:
:info:build       _query_name in res.o

Instead of reporting that failure and exiting, the build continues. This leads to the destroot phase failing to copy the ircd program, because it wasn't compiled because of the above problem.

I believe res_mkquery is usually in -lresolv on OS X so I don't know why the configure script didn't find it there.

Since the latest version 2.2.2 is still affected by these three problems, I guess nobody reported them to the developers yet, or they forgot about the problems, so I filed some issues:

• ​#221: make exits with 0 status even if build failed
• ​#229: configure script can't identify location of res_mkquery on macOS
• ​#230: Bundled system headers are not compatible with macOS

Workarounds for these issues will be included in the upcoming 2.2.2 update of this port.
