Hi,

I am having problems compiling magic for MacOS X 10.1.5 and I believe 
the problem is not that bad since as per a previous mailing-list message 
from Micheal Doster (Tues Jan 24 2002) he successfully compiled it for 
MacOS X.

I made the modifications to magic 7.1.5 source code and followed 
instructions as per message by Micheal Doster (Tues Jan 24 2002).

Looking at a message posted on the mailing-list by John Nestor (Wed Jun 
05 2002), I noticed he received similar error message from gnumake. The 
error message I received are:

--- making modules
--- compiling calma/CalmaRead.o
gnumake[2]: *** [CalmaRead.o] Error 1
--- compiling cif/CIFgen.o
gnumake[2]: *** [CIFgen.o] Error 1
--- compiling cmwind/CMWmain.o
gnumake[2]: *** [CMWmain.o] Error 1
--- compiling commands/CmdINTERP.o
gnumake[2]: *** [CmdINTERP.o] Error 1
--- compiling database/DBbound.o
  [...]

And this goes on for all files that needs to be compiled. However, I 
believe all the include / librairies modules from XFree86 are installed 
as my /usr/include and /usr/lib directories all have the required header 
files.

Looking in the make.log file I get the following description of the 
problem:

--- compiling calma/CalmaRead.o
rm -f CalmaRead.o
cc -g  -O2 -traditional  -I. -I.. -I../readline -DmacII -DUSE_READLINE 
-DNONMANHATTAN -DUSE_NEW_MACROS -Dmacosx  -c CalmaRead.c
In file included from CalmaRead.c:26:
../misc/magic.h:301: conflicting types for `sprintf'
/usr/include/stdio.h:278: previous declaration of `sprintf'
make[2]: *** [CalmaRead.o] Error 1
--- compiling cif/CIFgen.o
rm -f CIFgen.o
cc -g  -O2 -traditional  -I. -I.. -I../readline -DmacII -DUSE_READLINE 
-DNONMANHATTAN -DUSE_NEW_MACROS -Dmacosx  -c CIFgen.c
In file included from CIFgen.c:25:
../misc/magic.h:301: conflicting types for `sprintf'
/usr/include/stdio.h:278: previous declaration of `sprintf'
make[2]: *** [CIFgen.o] Error 1

I was first guessing that this was just a problem in the order in which 
the *.h file are declared. However, looking in the magic.h file, it does 
say that the stdio.h header file must be declared before magic.h... and 
this is the case in all the files I looked into...

Help from someone who knows how to solve this would be greatly 
appreciated.
