I can't install liblmdb on OS X because its Makefile assumes that cp can handle multiple source files, rather than the basic POSIX cp, which can't. This leads to the situation on OS X where:

 cp source1 source2 dest

throws an error.

Thanks for the report, fixed in mdb.master

The breaks the LMDB Makefile, because its install attempts to do:

 ILIBS	= liblmdb.a liblmdb.so
 ...
 cp $(IPROGS) $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/bin

Most makefiles I've encountered use a for loop for copying multiple files, so the fix for the Makefile is to change `install` to:

 install: $(ILIBS) $(IPROGS) $(IHDRS)
     for f in $(IPROGS); do cp $$f $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/bin; done
     for f in $(ILIBS); do cp $$f $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/lib; done
     for f in $(IHDRS); do cp $$f $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/include; done
     for f in $(IDOCS); do cp $$f $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/man/man1; done

Then LMDB builds and installs successfully on OS X.
