dpkg fails to build on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

[terry@…]

I only use dpkg to get start-stop-daemon which is the very file that fails to build.

Will attach a debug dump.

I don't know about start-top-daemon, but isn't it the same thing as daemondo?

Anyway, it seems that someone figure out a fix for this ticket will also fix #13166.

[terry@…]

I've never tried daemondo, sure it will do similar things.

The reason I use start-stop-daemon is that I can then use Debian specific init scripts without change.

Of course I could customize them for all operating systems (and might have to).

Thanks for the suggestion, hoping this can be fixed so I can maintain the same workflow however.

There is a bit of code in start-stop-daemon.c that reads:

#include <kvm.h>

If you wrap the kvm.h include as follows, then it seems to compile and run fine.

#if !defined(__ENVIRONMENT_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED__)
#  include <kvm.h>
#endif

kvm isn't actually used in the "OSDarwin" code path, so the #include <kvm.h> should be disabled.
