Build issue for gv 3.6.7 under Mac OS X

[Marius Schamschula-3]

Hi there,

I saw the update for gv on Freshmeat. So I went off to build it under Mac OS X. I get the following error (both for Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.6 PPC/Intel):

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.  -DNON_BLOCKING_IO -DGV_CODE -DGV_LIBDIR=\"/usr/local/share/gv\" -I../lib -I../lib -g -DUSE_SETENV_CODE  -I/usr/X11R6/include -g -O2 -MT callbacks.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/callbacks.Tpo -c -o callbacks.o callbacks.c

callbacks.c: In function 'cb_presentation':

callbacks.c:960: error: 'SIGCLD' undeclared (first use in this function)

callbacks.c:960: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

callbacks.c:960: error: for each function it appears in.)

make[2]: *** [callbacks.o] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/private/tmp/gv-3.6.7/src'

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/private/tmp/gv-3.6.7/src'

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Are we missing a header file?
