#36 Does Not Compile on Mac OS 10.10.1

[Andrew Crawford]

Summary:

Following the instructions in README and, trying to compile on Mac OS 10.10.1 quickly yields:

malloc.c:15:1: error: unknown type name 'caddr_t'

I mostly run tf on GNU Linux systems but, just tried to build it on a Mac and, discovered that it doesn't compile. Thought I would report it.

Here is the requested output:

[wstarter]

Some people seem to fix this by changing the pointer type of mmaloc_base

http://blakesmith.me/2009/10/28/tinyfugue-on-snow-leopard.html

Others fix it by adding this to malloc.c:

#include <sys/types.h>

And it also seems like mmaloc_base is never used anywhere else, so potentially you can just remove that line referenced in the link and be done with it.
