[darwinbuild] About the readlink redefinition in darwintrace.c

15 Mar 2006

      So, I just decided to give a real try to the DarwinBuild system.

This is under Mac OS X 10.3.9, with the darwinbuild-0.7.2.tar.gz release.

While installing the tools, I got an error message about an incompatible 
redefinition of "readlink" in darwintrace:

[...]
*** Making all in darwintrace ***
cc -o darwintrace.dylib \
        -W -Wall -pedantic -std=c99 \
        -flat_namespace \
        -fno-common \
        -nostdlib \
        -undefined suppress \
        -dynamiclib \
        darwintrace.c
darwintrace.c:219: error: conflicting types for `readlink'
/usr/include/unistd.h:240: error: previous declaration of `readlink'
make[1]: *** [darwintrace.dylib] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

So, my question is: shouldn't line 219 of darwintrace.c read

    ssize_t  readlink(const char * path, char * buf, ssize_t bufsiz) {

instead of

    ssize_t  readlink(const char * path, char * buf, size_t bufsiz) {
