On the current release 8.5.11 (which isn't in the group list yet) The framework build is used regardless of the --disable-framework option.

I haven't discovered why yet, but it has something to do with the macosx build using the unix build files. I can build the unix version on MacOSX without the framework, but when building from the macosx directory it always uses the framework. Specifically, I'm using: ./configure --enable-threads --disable-shared --disable-framework --disable-corefoundation --prefix=~/usr/local

    Just build out of the unix directory; that knows about the source files in the macosx/ directory so you'll get a perfectly adequate OSX build. The main contents of the macosx/ dir (apart from those sources) is a bunch of stuff for building with Xcode, but that's only haphazardly maintained at best. Is there some pressing reason for bulling your way through the hard stuff when there's an easy route you already know about?

    Marked as Pending/WontFix as I propose to do nothing about this without evidence that there's a good reason to take action.
