Trying to make on macOS with gcc fails to find malloc.h

[sodiumnitrate]

I'm trying to compile this on macOS (11.5.2) but it's searching for and failing to find malloc.h:

xdrf-master make
m4 conf/linux.m4 libxdrf.m4 > libxdrf.c
gcc -O -Dlinux -c libxdrf.c
libxdrf.c:153:10: fatal error: 'malloc.h' file not found
#include <malloc.h>
^~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
make: *** [libxdrf.o] Error 1

My understanding is that malloc.h is deprecated and including stdlib.h for malloc is sufficient. Is there a workaround that would let me compile this? Or am I missing something?

You're totally right - thanks so much! I just re-wrote a bunch of the #include statements and updated to address things that have changed from Warnings to Errors. I'm currently on vacation so don't have access to a Linux machine (the university turned my VPN off yesterday!!!) but the updated version I just pushed builds on my macOS machine (12.2.1) with gcc/gfort. Not tested with icc/ifort but I'm hoping it'll build fine...

let me know if this solves your issue on macOS and I'll close this, but will reopen an issue iff it breaks Intel compilation and/or on Linux!
