Dear Jeffrey and Forum,

Has anyone had any success getting this package to compile on Mac

I have in the past had luck with the following egregious hack:
$ sudo touch /usr/include/malloc.h
This creates an empty 'malloc.h' that the compiler will find.
This should satisfy it, and since this file is unnecessary (at
least on Mac OS X, and, I think, on many modern systems :-}), the
fact that it provides no content should pass unnoticed.
As I say, I have tried it in the past and it's worked, but that is
no guarantee.

Justin,
Thanks, that took care of the the malloc.h problem.
Now, I have a new problem. Make complains that it can't find a
certain file in the carat directory:
(cd src; make GNU_MP_LIB=. GNU_MP_INC=.)
gcc -O3 -DLONGLONG -I../../carat/carat/include -L../../carat/carat/
lib -DVERSION='"2.0 January 2003"' nq.o consistency.o pc.o
relations.o word.o system.o time.o addgen.o tails.o eliminate.o
engel.o glimt.o instances.o presentation.o mem.o pcarith.o
collect.o combicol.o trmetab.o gap.o -L. -o nq -lgmp -static
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt0.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [nq] Error 1
make: *** [compile] Error 2
The file isn't in /usr/local/lib/gap4r4/pkg/carat/carat-2.0/lib.
I've reproduced this on my system. I really don't think this is a
'gmp' issue, and I would not (yet) start fooling around with fink or
MacPorts. The problem seems more basic: the fact that "-lcrt0.o" is
the issue means (to me, at least) that the tool chain is really
confused.
In the future, please include this information, since it will help
diagnose this kind of problem:
- hardware platform (processor, if known)
- OS
- OS version
- GAP version and (if it's about a package) package version
I am running on a Mac Pro (Dual Quad Xeon, 3GHz), Mac OS X 10.4.11.
I tried this with Gap 4.4.10, and nq 2.2.
I find that my locally-built GMP is built as a 64-bit library, while
nq is built 32-bit. I think that is the problem (GMP seems to insist
on 64-bit builds if it's possible).
Let us know what the above information is, and whether you built GMP
yourself (and if not, where it came from).
Justin
