HP Tools under MacOS ?

I'd like to know how to build HP Tools "Source code for the free System RPL and assembly language (HP syntax and MASD [Meta Kernel] syntax) development kit ( http://www.hpcalc.org/details/4263 )" under recent MacOS (10.12 64bits) system please ?

This archive is pretty old and make this following build error :

iMac:i386-apple-darwin16.5.0 julien$ make install
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wno-switch -Wno-uninitialized -Wno-implicit -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../include -c ../rplcomp/masd.c
../rplcomp/masd.c:15:11: fatal error: 'malloc.h' file not found
# include <malloc.h>
^
1 error generated.

Thanks a lot
sunhp.

I have a patch for hptools-src-3.0.8.tar.gz to get it to build on a 64-bit mac. I created it a couple of years ago, so not the latest macOS, but hopefully still works. Take a look at http://cloudycat.bitbucket.io/ for a link to it and some instructions on how to apply it. Though unfortunately it seems that the link on my website no longer works as bitbucket have recently changed their webhosting arrangements, so until I fix things try https://cloudycat.bitbucket.io/hptools/h...0503.patch instead.

Please let me know how you get on with it, if it doesn't work then I would like to fix it.

It would be nice if HP could relax their license on these tools to allow them to be maintained, I wonder if this is possible?
