Compiling iniParser C-library on Mac OSX Mountain Lion.

Hi,

My goal is to compile and edit the source of the ownCloud client source on my Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

The problem I am facing right now is that it does not seem that I am able to compile and install the iniParser library on my OS.

The problem I was first facing was that the in the Makefile it was stated that to compile this library ld should use the flag "-Bsymbolic" and the flag "-soname=".
I've been searching around for any hints on this. I've searched for Mac OS X patches for this Makefile and I've been searching for equivalents for the "-Bsymbolic" and the "-soname" in Mac OS X's ld command.
I found out that I could use the "-dylib_install_name" flag as an equivalent to "-soname". I can't seem to find anything on the "-Bsymbolic" flag though.

I've tried to just remove the "-Bsymbolic" flag and change "-soname" to "-dylib_install_name" in the Makefile, but it just gives me the error:

Code:

$ make
compiling src/iniparser.c ...
compiling src/dictionary.c ...
a - src/iniparser.o
a - src/dictionary.o
i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2: libiniparser.so.0: No such file or directory
make: *** [libiniparser.so] Error 1

My Makefile looks like this:

Code:

#
# iniparser Makefile
#

# Compiler settings
CC      = gcc
CFLAGS  = -O2 -fPIC -Wall -ansi -pedantic

# Ar settings to build the library
AR	    = ar
ARFLAGS = rcv

SHLD = ${CC} ${CFLAGS}
LDSHFLAGS = -shared -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib
LDFLAGS = -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib

# Set RANLIB to ranlib on systems that require it (Sun OS < 4, Mac OSX)
RANLIB  = ranlib
#RANLIB = true

RM      = rm -f


# Implicit rules

SUFFIXES = .o .c .h .a .so .sl

COMPILE.c=$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c
.c.o:
	@(echo "compiling $< ...")
	@($(COMPILE.c) -o $@ $<)


SRCS = src/iniparser.c \
	   src/dictionary.c

OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)


default:	libiniparser.a libiniparser.so

libiniparser.a:	$(OBJS)
	@($(AR) $(ARFLAGS) libiniparser.a $(OBJS))
	@($(RANLIB) libiniparser.a)

libiniparser.so:	$(OBJS)
	@$(SHLD) $(LDSHFLAGS) -o $@.0 $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) \
		-Wl,-dylib_install_name `basename $@`.0

clean:
	$(RM) $(OBJS)

veryclean:
	$(RM) $(OBJS) libiniparser.a libiniparser.so*
	rm -rf ./html ; mkdir html
	cd test ; $(MAKE) veryclean

docs:
	@(cd doc ; $(MAKE))
	
check:
	@(cd test ; $(MAKE))

Could anyone please help me figuring this out?
