Gkrellm fails to build on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (kvm.h not found)

[daniel@…]

Gkrellm fails to build, problem with kvm.h, found somewhere in Xcode the line :

/*
 * Although Darwin does have a kvm.h file, kvm_openfiles etc. always
 * return null because /dev/kmem was removed completely in OS X 10.5.
 */
#undef HAVE_KVM_H
#undef HAVE_KVM_GETPROCS
#undef HAVE_KVM_OPENFILES

When building ports, this happens:

Seems somewhat the same as #13201.

[markd@…]

I can solve the missing kvm.h (it is in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/include), but another set of problems just crops up, so I'll have to wait until someone can help out on this.

[daniel@…]

still the same with MacPorts 1.6 on 10.5 :/

[afb@…]

Replying to nox@macports.org:

Seems somewhat the same as #13201.

Difference being that this port actually uses kvm, while the other didn't (just a extra #include)

I was able to get it to compile and work. Here's what I did:

1. Observe 'sudo port install gkrellm' fails with the above message.
2. cd to /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_gkrellm/work/gkrellm-2.3.0/src
3. Attempt to manually compile the one file by including the extra -I for kvm.h:

   sudo cc -Wall -O2 -I.. `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 gthread-2.0`   -DENABLE_NLS -DLOCALEDIR=\"/opt/local/share/locale\" -DHAVE_GETADDRINFO -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib -I/opt/local/include -I/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/include  -c -o sysdeps-unix.o sysdeps-unix.c

                    from sysdeps/darwin.c:250,
                    from sysdeps-unix.c:34:
   /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Headers/OSMessageNotification.h: At top level:
   /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Headers/OSMessageNotification.h:85: error: ‘io_user_reference_t’ undeclared here (not in a function)

   /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Headers/OSMessageNotification.h:103: error: syntax error before ‘io_user_reference_t’
   

4. sudo vi /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Headers/OSMessageNotification.h' to edit the file and include this

   typedef  uint64_t io_user_reference_t;
   

This should go just before the enum that first references it (search for the first occurance of io_user_reference_t, and stick the typedef just before the struct)

5. Retry step 3, it should work.
6. Try again to 'sudo port install gkrellm' - observe another failure about a missing kvm library:

   sudo port install gkrellm
   --->  Building gkrellm with target darwin
   Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_gkrellm/work/gkrellm-2.3.0" && gnumake darwin " returned error 2

   		gkrellm )

   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
   gnumake[1]: *** [gkrellm] Error 1
   gnumake: *** [darwin] Error 2
   
   Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
   

7. Go back to the same directory, and try to manually link the gkrellm binary and omit the -lkvm:

   sudo cc -Wall -O2 -I.. `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 gthread-2.0`   -DENABLE_NLS -DLOCALEDIR=\"/opt/local/share/locale\" -DHAVE_GETADDRINFO main.o alerts.o battery.o base64.o clock.o cpu.o disk.o fs.o hostname.o inet.o mail.o mem.o net.o proc.o sensors.o uptime.o chart.o panel.o config.o gui.o krell.o plugins.o pixops.o smbdes.o smbencrypt.o smbmd4.o smbutil.o client.o utils.o  deprecated.o winops-x11.o sysdeps-unix.o  -o gkrellm `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 gthread-2.0`  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE  -framework IOKit -lssl -lcrypto  -prebind -Wl,-bind_at_load -framework CoreFoundation -lX11
   

It works! To quickly try the binary, just type './gkrellm'

8. Copy the binary to your location of choice.
9. Puke in a bucket, wash your hands, and say your hail mary's because this is a HUGE hack that has unknown consequences to all other apps, and should only be used to do the 'real' fix.

[blb@…]

Updating to 2.3.2 and removing the -lkvm during linking appears to get it to build fine on my 10.5.5 MBP. Attaching patch to do so.
