Building the P compiler on Mac OS X

Question

I'm having trouble building Microsoft's P language compiler on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

Relevant portions of the build log (cd Bld; ./build.sh):

I am using mono 4.6.0 stable and cmake 3.6.2, which meet the minimum requirements in the P build guide for OS X and Linux.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

This was a bug with the source code. The P team failed to include the PRT_FUN_PARAM_STATUS enum declaration in PrtValues.h:

typedef enum PRT_FUN_PARAM_STATUS
{
    PRT_FUN_PARAM_CLONE,
    PRT_FUN_PARAM_SWAP,
    PRT_FUN_PARAM_XFER
} PRT_FUN_PARAM_STATUS;

Fixed with 1fd291c.
