Hi barracuda,

This is an odd issue. 'wait.h' is a standard header that's part of libc, and should be in /usr/include. Could it be that you have to have to install libc-dev or something like that?

[barracuda156]

It should be sys/wait.h: fekberg/GoHttp#6
(I can confirm it is there on my macOS too.)

[ColumPaget]

unfortunately on ubuntu I'm finding it's not in '/usr/include/sys', but in '/usr/include' instead. I guess I'll need do do something with autoconf to find it...

[barracuda156]

It can be done via include macros too, something like:

#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <sys/wait.h>
#else
#include <wait.h>
#endif

[ColumPaget]

hmm, sys/wait.h compiles even though it's not in /usr/include/sys. It must be in one of the gcc include directories. This does mean I'll have to update everything that comes with a bundled libUseful!

thanks for reporting this. Does fileferry build if you make the change yourself?
