Automatic disabling by configure for Avahi and DBus on OS X requested

Just so you know: the auto-disabling of avahi does not seem to work.

1. I'm on current Git (most recent commit was
   dd3fdd2, which post-dates commit
   7470f0c that supposedly fixed the avahi issue).
2. I did run "make clean" and the "./configure" step WITHOUT the "--disable-avahi"
   param.
3. "make" errored out, again mentioning avahi.

After I included "--disable-avahi" in the configure step a new error message
appeared, mentioning "dbus".

After I included "--disable-dbus" the build process completed.

So it looks like an automatic disabling of dbus support on OS X is also required
and/or (as long as it is not implemented) an appropriate note in the INSTALL.txt
should be made.

Please attach the config.log file (when run without the --disable-xxx options) and the output from the configure script.

Did you remember to run "autoconf" to re-build the configure script?

[michaelrsweet]

Yes, I did. Just to be sure I did run autoconf again now, and also cleaned everything before re-building.

Most people won't have DBUS or Avahi headers/libraries on their OS X system - I certainly don't - and so this configuration does not get any testing.

When I do a clean build (autoconf -f; ./configure) I no longer see Avahi being tested at all. Can you try running "autoconf" with the "-f" (force) option, in case its built-in dependency checking isn't picking up on the changes to config-scripts/cups-dnssd.m4?

I've checked in a change to disable DBUS on OS X as well. Try with "autoconf -f" once the config-scripts/cups-common.m4 change gets pushed...

Avahi came with MacPorts (I think as a dependency of some KDE application I tested).

Sorry, I can't test at this time -- have to wait till my MacBook is back from repair.

OK, ping me if you still experience issues after you get your MacBook back and I can re-open this bug...
