[JDEV] Jabber server on MacOS X

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,


I attempted to get the jabber server to run on my MacOS X box, but 
failed. I am using latest CVS, plus some mods I had to make to get it 
compiling (as they are mostly minor, I'd be happy to contribute them 
back).

For those who don't know, MacOS X at its core is a BSD system; I know 
it is possible to run Jabberd on other BSD systems, so I still hope 
I'll get it to run on OS X.


So I compiled the server, as "static", since shared libs on OS X are 
"different" to put it nicely ;) Then I followed the 1.4 Server HOWTO, 
modifiying my jabber.xml file as described. Then I launch the server 
like this:

./jabberd/jabberd -D -h <my.dydns.name>

(of course I inserted the correct domain name)


This causes it to print out a lot of debug information; here is an 
excerpt (the last messages it prints before exiting):

I am a bit confused over this, and how to interpret it. The server 
suddenly receives a "kill" it seems?!?! What's going on there? BTW, I 
also had to modify pth-1.3.7 slightly to get it to compile (modified 
configure.in), but I doubt this is the problem, as "make test" run 
fine for pth, and I know it has been used on MacOSX/Darwin before.


Any hints are appreciated!
