Version:

On my OS X (10.5, Intel) CoinMP fails to compile because "malloc.h" is in the sys directory on the Mac. The problem can be fixed (on a mac) by changing line 18 of CoinMP-1.2.0/CoinMP/src/CoinMP.cpp to

#include "sys/malloc.h" // on mac...

from

#include "malloc.h"

Obviously this would probably break on another platform. I assume that something needs to be adjusted in the configure script to get a platform-independent solution.

Thanks,

Start in CoinMP-1.2.0/CoinMP/src/CoinMP.cpp at the malloc.h include and inspect the configure script for platform-specific header handling. Reproduce the compilation failure on OS X 10.5 Intel if possible, then verify that the fix supports the reported Mac layout without breaking compilation on other platforms.
