Re: [B2-devel] BasiliskII compilation issues

[Robert M. <mr...@gm...>]

You might have noticed that mysignal is part of a small C program used
as a test during the autoconf process. I do a MacOSX build, so I find
it in src/MacOSX/configure.in

The test installs a signal hangler, then raises the same signal twice,
then sees if the signal handler actually got triggered twice.

What happens if you disable the "#define HAVE_DEV_PTMX 1" as Andreas
Wiese suggested?

Relevant code from configure.in:

dnl Check if sigaction handlers need to be reinstalled
AC_CACHE_CHECK([whether sigaction handlers need to be reinstalled],
  ac_cv_sigaction_need_reinstall, [
  AC_LANG_SAVE
  AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS
  AC_TRY_RUN([
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H
    #include <unistd.h>
    #endif
    #include <signal.h>
    static int handled_signal = 0;
    RETSIGTYPE sigusr1_handler(int) { handled_signal++; }
    typedef RETSIGTYPE (*signal_handler)(int);
    static signal_handler mysignal(int sig, signal_handler handler) {
      struct sigaction old_sa;
      struct sigaction new_sa;
      new_sa.sa_handler = handler;
      return ((sigaction(sig,&new_sa,&old_sa) < 0) ? SIG_IGN :
old_sa.sa_handler);
    }
    int main(void) { /* returns 0 if signals need not to be reinstalled */
      mysignal(SIGUSR1, sigusr1_handler); raise(SIGUSR1); raise(SIGUSR1);
      exit(handled_signal == 2);
    }
  ], ac_cv_sigaction_need_reinstall=yes, ac_cv_sigaction_need_reinstall=no,
  dnl When cross-compiling, do not assume anything.
  ac_cv_sigaction_need_reinstall="guessing yes"
  )
  AC_LANG_RESTORE
  ]
)
AC_TRANSLATE_DEFINE(SIGACTION_NEED_REINSTALL, "$ac_cv_sigaction_need_reinstall",
  [Define if your system requires sigactions to be reinstalled.])
