So fdatasync is nonexistent on OS X, and the precompiler is told to treat it as just fsync #ifdef __macos__ ... src/XrdSys/XrdSysPlatform.hh:#define fdatasync(x) fsync(x) BUT, the compiler in 10.6 seems to hate the fact that fsync is double-defined. XrdPosixPreload.cc: In function 'int fsync(int)': XrdPosixPreload.cc:265: error: redefinition of 'int fsync(int)' XrdPosixPreload.cc:159: error: 'int fsync(int)' previously defined here To work around it, commented out the lines (line 161 or so) /* extern "C" { int fdatasync(int fildes) { static int Init = Xunix.Init(&Init); return XrdPosix_Fdatasync(fildes); } } */ and got the build to work again. This looks like it needs to be precompiler-wrapped. Running off the dev version posted on the web page (20100315-1007) Cheers, Alden
