Build fails

[wagnerst]

Hi, on a current Mac OS system, the build fails because malloc.h is not at the place you expect that to be. I fixed it for me by a symbolic link but that can only be a workaround. It would be better fixed in the build script.

Hi,

Thanks for the message.

Can you send me more details? I don't have any MacOS for testing.

Where did you created the link and where it points to?

Thanks!

I ran this: sudo ln -s /usr/include/malloc/malloc.h /usr/include/malloc.h from http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-2023.html

I'll fix it and let you know.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I'm sorry, I have no idea why I'm receiving those E-mails. I got confused and I was assuming those were reports on one of my repositories, which is not the case.

Sorry, I can't help.

Thank you for the information!

It seems a more system-compatible way to fix this issue is to replace the line that includes malloc.h in the "src/lsh/sources/headers.h" with these (as suggested in the above link):

#if !defined(__APPLE__) 
#include <malloc.h>
#endif

But I don't have any MacOS to test. Is it possible if you help to remove your symlink and test this solution and re-build again?

Thanks!
