Building on Mac OS X (was Re: a quick mailutils question)

[Sam Roberts]

I don't know if anybody has tried to build with OS X either.

First question would be, is there a malloc.h somewhere? If not, we
can make a configure test.

But, you still need the header for calloc(), and alloca(), where are
they prototyped in OS X? Are they int stdlib.h?

Try commenting out the include statement, and seeing if you can build.

Cheers,
Sam
