legacy-support clock update resulted in a bug: /opt/local/include/LegacySupport/time.h:83:27: error: unknown type name 'clockid_t'; did you mean 'clock_id_t'?

Just got the following with R-webfakes build:

If I change:

#define CLOCK_MONOTONIC (1)
#define CLOCK_REALTIME (2)

#include <mach/clock.h>
#include <mach/mach.h>
#include <mach/mach_time.h>
#include <sys/errno.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

to:

#include <mach/clock.h>
#include <mach/mach.h>
#include <mach/mach_time.h>
#include <sys/errno.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

#define CLOCK_MONOTONIC (1)
#define CLOCK_REALTIME (2)

the port builds, but complains:

/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-12 -I"/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include" -DNDEBUG   -isystem/opt/local/include/LegacySupport -I/opt/local/include   -DNO_CGI -DNO_FILES -DARCH_IS_BIG_ENDIAN=1 -fPIC  -pipe -Os -arch ppc  -c civetweb.c -o civetweb.o

                 from civetweb.c:368:
/opt/local/include/LegacySupport/time.h:55: note: this is the location of the previous definition

   52 | #define CLOCK_REALTIME              0
      |

Finally, if I do this:

#include <mach/clock.h>
#include <mach/mach.h>
#include <mach/mach_time.h>
#include <sys/errno.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

#undef CLOCK_MONOTONIC
#undef CLOCK_REALTIME
#define CLOCK_MONOTONIC (1)
#define CLOCK_REALTIME (2)

it builds cleanly, but I am not sure this is the right thing to do :)

Never redefine system's value with some random value. It is a good way to spend hours, days and probably weeks in attempts to understand wtf is going on.

Should we raise this to R-webfakes upstream? Source which fails: ​https://github.com/r-lib/webfakes/blob/b10bfbfa1589d02b84d0e41c1f542b5df495b241/src/civetweb.c#L354-L433

[catap (Kirill A. Korinsky)]

Yes. I doubt that current code will be build on modern macOS.

Apparently it does, at least on CRAN: ​https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_flavors.html#r-release-macos-x86_64
