[pulseaudio-discuss] semaphores macosx, comments please

[Claesson Mattias]

Hi,

For some reason I don't have the Multiprocessing.h include, maybe I am on a newer version.
XCode Version 3.2.1 (1613) on macos 10.6.
Here is a reference to the same issue as I found.
http://forum.soft32.com/mac/Multiprocessing-issue-ftopict43400.html

The code does compile, but it compiles the semaphore-posix.c file, there is just no way that the osx version gets compiled in my source tree.
If I force semaphore-osx.c to be compiled instead of semaphore-posix.c, it is not linking either without adding a library too.

Hey, maybe I did something wrong when retreiving the code? 
I use:
git fetch git://0pointer.de/pulseaudio.git

Best Regards,
Mattias Claesson

Hmm - what exactly is the problem you're seeing? What is the reason for
changing that? Doesn't the current code compile for you?
