Re: MacOS X 10.2

Ok Ok Ok. I didn't look hard enough at the source code!

I looked at the source code, and figured out that sem.h had
been added to the src/ tree because 10.1 didn't have one -- why would
Apple do that? Grr. Anyhow, the
fix is simple: Undo all the good work that was done to fix the problem
in 10.1! I got everything working
by replacing

#include "port/darwin/sem.h"

with

#include <sys/sem.h>

src/backend/storage/ipc/ipc.c
src/backend/storage/lmgr/proc.c
src/backend/storage/lmgr/spin.c

and by removing the target/dependancy for sem.o in
src/backend/port/darwin/Makefile.

I would have sent diffs, but my changes are not appropriate to be
merged in. All I did was the
minimum to get it to compile on my system, and not what needs to be
done in the production
code. For example, my changes break a compile on 10.1 if that's
important to you. Someone
needs to think about how to fix the code up so that it's production
worthy.

Anyhow. Thanks for the great DB!
