The difference here is a const char * vs a char *. You can edit the
header or the .c file to make them match and it won't hurt anything.
However, there are other differences in Libc that will prevent you
from running it on xnu's < 253 (I think?). Anyway, you'll need to
be running a recent kernel to be running Libc 224.
You may give Libc-214 a shot. That should have less dependencies on
recent xnu's.

sorry, I should have been clearer. Of course I can fix that, but the problem is that Libc-207 and later do not seem compatible with the kernel up to Apple-222. As I said in my email of the 22nd (mach_absolute_time.c and others (Libc-207)), there is an undefined SYS_sigwait in the (previously absent) implementation of sigwait. This is one of the reasons for me to get the new kernel and Libc (and Libsystem).

I have given Libc-214 a try and I noticed that the Makefile.inc(s)' problems have gone (see my email above) but the SYS_sigwait problem is still there as it depends on external (to Libc) headers.

So my question remains, is it really impossible to have a better synch between the various components on anoncvs? This is not meant to be a criticism, just a question.

Thanks

Giuliano
