Errors when building for MacOS. 'sys/sysinfo.h' file not found

[frakman1]

Running on MacOS Ventura: 13.6.2 (22G417)

./build.sh gives this error after patching:

FYI. A previous version (v4.2) was successfully built using this workaround:

Fixup:

Save this to mac.patch (NOTE this is not the original patch, I have modified it)

From dbe9747b4f09bd2f4d63af06e55c2c3ed35bfca1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Don't use sigwaitinfo()/sigtimedwait() if not supported

If sigwaitinfo() and sigtimedwait() are not supported,
use sigwait() instead.

This will disable the queue/caches dump if ^\ (SIGQUIT)
is hit twice within a second.

But the queue/caches dump is still available if SIGHUP
is sent to the program.

Currently this check is applied to MAC OS X.  FreeBSD and
NetBSD appear to have these functions.

hey, thanks! on my macos 15.1 (24B82) I had to change the path to the libs (/opt/homebrew -> /usr/local/opt) but now it works 👍

[trixmoe]

For my own convenience, I combined all the things and shoved them into a repo, combined with a DIY-ed homebrew file: https://github.com/trixmoe/sasquatch/tree/d4a4473c49a58e3e22d877a9b6b5bb841176ef30

That way, this is installed as a homebrew formula.
