I'm trying to compile the latest version of miktex tools (with MiKTeX 2.8.3541 Source Code as found on http://miktex.org/unx/) on a brand new Mac OS X.6 (Snow Leopard) system. I stumbled on a first bug about malloc (while about 31% of compiling was finished) :

error: malloc.h: No such file or directory

which the log file said was related to line 26 of gram.y (in Build Utilities/c4p).

Googling this error gave me a simple fix : changing line 26 of gram.y (in Build Utilities/c4p) from

#include <malloc.h>

to 

#include <malloc/malloc.h>

apparently solved the problem. Compiling again gives another challenging problem. Here is the relevant part of the compilation log :

I'm really unable to overcome this error all by myself. Did anybody try and compile this version of miktex tools ?

Thank you in advance,

Benoît RIVET

PS: I asked the same question on the Miktex User list, and I'll let you know if MikTex Users help me finish compile MikTex Tools.
