Build fails on Mac OS #15

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run ./configure.ac

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Makefiles are created successfully. 
Observed: 

checking for CURL... yes
checking for LIBXML... yes
checking for library containing clock_gettime... no
configure: error: Unable to find library with clock_gettime definition    
(normally it is rt). Sorry but the project will not compile.

Mac OS doesn't have POSIX realtime extension implemented. So, there is no 
clock_gettime() function. The workaround is to use gettimeofday() function 
instead. However, it is more convenient to keep clock_gettime() function as it 
returns time in nanoseconds format, which is used by other POSIX API calls. 

TODO: add a separate file (e.g. clock_gettime.c) which implements 
clock_gettime() function on top of gettimeofday(). Update makefiles to include 
this source file in case, when there is no librt.
