#6 Problem with make on BSD systems

[Tony Williams]

Hi,

The current make file assumes that the command 'cp' has
an option '-a' - this is false for BSD 4.x based
systems, particularly Mac OS X.

My suggestion is that you have two more variables in
config.h and set them by checking the system variable
OSTYPE - Mac OS X sets this to 'darwin' - I'm not sure
about OpenBSD and FreeBSD.

Also, the chown command on os x doesn't seem to like the -R
switch at the end of the statement. Moving it to the
beginning fixed it.

eg. chown -R uid:gid /path/to/file
