Re: Build fails on OS X 10.9

[Juan Rafael García Blanco <juanrgar gmail com>]

Hi,

I’ve managed to build nemiver on OS X 10.9. It works mostly fine; I’ve noticed that some non-essential 
features do not work, but that could be due to Apple’s policy to debuggers other than the official one. I’ve 
not worked on that yet.

Please find below a very simple patch to fix a compile error in tests/ folder. I’ve not generated patches for 
the rest of the modifications as it takes me time because I find it hard to write substantial commit 
messages. I hope you’ll hear from me soon. Of course, if I’ve done something wrong, please tell me and I’d be 
more than happy to fix it. Thank you very much in advance.

Also, here’s the ticket at MacPorts https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41942

Best regards,
Juan.
