RE: macosx notes

[Ian Gough]

Odd. I had all sorts of problems getting the ccgnu2 lib to compile for
OS X, but I have not tried the code base lately. What I found was that
the Mac did not have sem_init or sem_destroy, so I substituted the named
semaphore variants sem_open and sem_close, choosing pseudorandom names.

On the mac, there is a version of libtool installed, but it is called
glibtool. That is the one I used. Just created a symlink from libtool to
glibtool.

I am surprised that you didn't run into a problem with not being able to
find the signature for the lockf() function too. On my system, there
isn't any signature in any header in /usr/include.

I haven't attempted to build the ext lib.
