I notice an issue with autoconf when i'm using an old osx framework (or old version) : -mmacosx-version-min < 10.6
When we use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE the autoconf add # define _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE 1 in the config.h due to AH_VERBATIM([_DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE], [/* Enable large inode numbers on Mac OS X 10.5. */ #ifndef _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE # define _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE 1 #endif]) fi in specific.m4 This may cause segmentation fault on generated file (certainly linked to a different struct stat) The default behaviour of OSX sdk is: # else /* default */ # if __DARWIN_ONLY_64_BIT_INO_T # define __DARWIN_64_BIT_INO_T 1 # elif defined(__ENVIRONMENT_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED__) && ((__ENVIRONMENT_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED__-0) < 1060) || __DARWIN_UNIX03 == 0 # define __DARWIN_64_BIT_INO_T 0 # else /* default */ # define __DARWIN_64_BIT_INO_T 1 # endif /* __DARWIN_ONLY_64_BIT_INO_T */ # endif Forcing the value _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE overrides this. For example with glib 2.30.3 with -mmacosx-version-min 10.4 A call to g_key_file_load_from_file with an existing regular file return an error "Not a regular file". (st_mode&0xF000 = 0x9000) And sometimes it works ... But if i remove _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE from config.h All works correctly. Maybe we have to check the -mmacosx-version-min version before forcing (or not forcing at all) Here another thread talking about this issue: https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/2061 -- *Diorcet Yann** *
