I ran into some compilation issues after upgrading to OS X 10.12.1, and was able to build successfully with Jie's help.
The first thing was that I encountered a lot of these deprecation warnings: ../../../3rdparty/libprocess/../stout/include/stout/os/posix/su.hpp:241:9: warning: 'syscall' is deprecated: first deprecated in macOS 10.12 - syscall(2) is unsupported; please switch to a supported interface. For SYS_kdebug_trace use kdebug_signpost(). [-Wdeprecated-declarations] Which was fixed by adding CXXFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated-declarations when configuring. The next thing was hitting the following when running the libprocess tests: ./libprocess-tests Failed to obtain the IP address for 'Benjamins-MacBook-Pro.local'; the DNS service may not be able to resolve it: nodename nor servname provided, or not known To resolve this, (I'm not sure how Jie figured this out), I had to go into System Preferences > Sharing and turn on Remote Login (but you'll want to do this only for administrators I assume..). The last thing was that apparently there is an incompatibility in the system installed apr and svn headers, which is fixed by using the headers from a brew installation of subversion. For me, I had to re-install the brew version before I could successfully point to them during configuration: $ brew unlink subversion $ brew install subversion $ ../configure CXXFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated-declarations --disable-python --disable-java --with-apr=/usr/local/opt/apr/libexec --with-svn=/usr/local/opt/subversion I figured this would be helpful to anyone else running into these issues, I'll update the getting started page to direct users towards these steps.
