osx sys/io.h not found

Question

Hi,

I'd like to compile a c programm developed for linux using cc under os x. It includes the header sys/io.h. When compiling I get the error that this file could not be found? Isn't there any sys/io.h header file under os x?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks!

$ ls /usr/include/sys/io.h
ls: /usr/include/sys/io.h: No such file or directory

It doesn't look like it. You may have to do some porting.

Linux has this header file. It looks like it has to do with low level port input and output.

In general, things in /usr/include/sys are going to be operating-system specific, so you'll have to port to a new architecture if it's not already ported.
