Comment(by dkeverne@…):

 Looks like this is already a known issue:

 http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20070303.223326.eb802bed.en.html

 The function returns void, so can't be tested.  Can that patch be included
 in the port?


 After progressing past that, we now get undefined symbols which appear to
 be bind9 issues:

 cc -o exim
 Undefined symbols:
   "_res_9_search", referenced from:
       _dns_basic_lookup in dns.o
       _dns_basic_lookup in dns.o
   "_res_9_init", referenced from:
       _dns_init in dns.o
   "_res_9_dn_expand", referenced from:
       _acl_verify in acl.o
       _dns_next_rr in dns.o
       _dns_next_rr in dns.o
       _dns_next_rr in dns.o
       _dns_lookup in dns.o
       _host_find_bydns in host.o
       _host_name_lookup in host.o
 ld: symbol(s) not found


 I ended up adding "LIBRESOLV=-lresolv" to the OS/Makefile-Darwin file to
 tell the linker to include libresolv and we seem to have got somewhere.


 I think I have it built and installed, I'll try setting it up fully and
 let you know how it goes.


 Cheers
