[gem5-users] installation of gem5 on OS X

[aditya pendyala]

Hi,
I was trying to build gem5 in my mac, however, it terminates with an
error message saying "syscall.h file not found". From what I have found out
on internet, OS X doesn't the system functions therein. Even when I replace
"syscall.h" with "sys/syscall.h", I get

[VER TAGS] -> X86/sim/tags.cc

[ CXX] X86/sim/syscall_emul.cc -> .o

build/X86/sim/syscall_emul.cc:1168:27: error: use of undeclared identifier

'SYS_getdents'

auto status = syscall(SYS_getdents, sim_fd,
^ buf_arg.bufferPtr(), count);


I am using the source code available in github.
Is there any solution for this in OS X? I will be very grateful to anyone
who helps me out of this.

Regards,
Aditya

Hey Brandon,

Does this look like another place in syscall_emul where we need to have a
ifdef guard for linux?

It looks like this was recently committed by you.

What exact change should I make? I am inexperienced in these things.
