Yes, you need XCode to be able to compile. I don’t know if the MAMP install comes with the proper shared libraries and include files required for compiling dovecot, but you will notice that soon enough. If it doesn’t work I would advice you to at least try to look at the other documentation on MySQL, Apache and PHP as well. We provide everything you require and it’s all supporting each other.

On to install XCode…

Is that the only other thing it needs?

Thanks

But what if we have some problems?

After the ./configure line I get:

checking for a BSD-compatible install… /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane… yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p… ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk… no
checking for mawk… no
checking for nawk… no
checking for awk… awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)… no
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles… no
checking for style of include used by make… none
checking for gcc… no
checking for cc… no
checking for cl.exe… no
configure: error: in `/Users/mac_pro/downloads/dovecot-1.2.17′:
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log’ for more details

Trying to compile on Snow Leopard. Have Mamp Pro installed so MySql is there. When I try make, it tells me that no such command.

Please help.
