Hi,
(I am not subscribed to this list, nor am I a Unix developer).
I wanted to give fio a try on my OS X 10.5.8 machine, but
this is the error I received when compiling:
CC helpers.o
CC engines/posixaio.o
DEP depend
CC fio
Undefined symbols:
"_posix_memalign", referenced from:
_thread_main in fio.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [fio] Error 1
After some googling, I learned that OS X doesn't
provide _posix_memalign, and that apparently it's not
needed on this platform. I "fixed" my compile problem with the
attached patch. You may find it useful to write a better fix for this.
Best regards and thanks for providing this tool,
Filip
