I'm trying to build vorbis on Mac OS X Server 1.2 -- aka 
powerpc-apple-rhapsody5.6 -- and have had pretty bad luck.  But it 
builds now, and I can only presume that it works.

I did a CVS checkout and configure.  It didn't recognize my host's type.

Then I copied the /usr/libexec/config.guess and 
/usr/libexec/config.sub files that Apple ships over the top-level 
config.guess (configure.guess) and config.sub (configure.sub) files 
and tried again.  This time, it had problems with the C compiler, 
because Mac OS X Server puts the math library in System.framework, 
not in /usr/lib/libm.a so "-lm" generates an error.

I edited the configure script to add a case to set Rhapsody's LIBS to 
"" after where it's done for BeOS, and then re-ran the script.  This 
time configure finished.

Now, however, make dies when trying to build seeking_test because it 
couldn't find _drand48.  I was able to replace this with my own 
random function which just calls rand and converts the result to a 
scaled double.  The whole thing now builds, but I have no idea how 
well it works.

Just thought others should know.  I can supply Rhapsody's 
/usr/libexec/config.* to whoever wants them, since they're GPL'd.
