[Fink-devel] any way around MMAP on OS X.3???

[Jules Ngambo]

Hey everyone,

We are building opencascade (www.opencascade.org) on OS X.3 (gcc 3.3). Opencascade tries to open /dev/null using mmap as shown on the few lines below:
<x-tad-smaller>
if ((MMgt_MMap = open ("/dev/zero", O_RDWR)) < 0) {
if ((MMgt_MMap = open ("/dev/null", O_RDWR)) < 0){
MMgt_MMap = 0;
}
}
</x-tad-smaller>
I'm pretty sure OS X doesn't allow this operation. Is there anyway around this problem?
