I found it. The problem is that shm_open is defined to -1: #ifndef HAVE_LIBRT # define shm_open(name, oflag, mode) (-1) # define shm_unlink(name) (-1) #endif
For some reason HAVE_LIBRT is not defined on OSX, but it does have shm_open(). If I just remove this block, the resulting binary works find on OSX.
