`xstrdup()` and friends unsupported on macOS
Hey there, maintainer of the Homebrew formula for man-db
here.
../gl/lib/regex.h:528:27: note: expanded from macro '_REGEX_NELTS'
# define _REGEX_NELTS(n) n

man.c:386:4: error: expected expression
char *s = xstrdup (arg ? arg : default_roff_warnings);

After some digging, I learnt that macOS's C library doesn't contain an xmalloc.h
, so xstrdup()
and others of its ilk result in compiler errors. Here's the full build log; note that I had CFLAGS='-std=c99'
exported in my environment so Clang would work properly.
This might not be the only error stopping compilation on macOS: I'm merely reporting what I've encountered thus far.
