Making rsync compile under Mac OS X 10.3.9 with extended attributes

[Vitorio Machado]

Sorry about spamming the list. This update is just to say that I have  
tested solutions 1 and 2 and there is no solution:

1) If I configure with --disable-acl --enable-xattr, configure is OK  
but make can't compile xattr.c because it seems linked to ACL code...

2) The versions disponible at darwinport and fink are unpatched  
(without extended-attributes) or just avaliable for 10.4+.

So I would really need to compile it from source, if someone have a  
magic argument like --compile-on-10.3-with-xattr-without-acl...

Best regards,

Vitorio Machado
