[gdal-dev] Build GDAL 3.5 for iOS error: forward declaration of 'stat64'

Thanks Even,

After applying the patch and then running the ‘cmake' and 'cmake —build' again, it stops at the same point but produces much fewer errors (and I have found a dodgy work-around those - see below).  Only two errors this time, both for the same file:

==========
[  6%] Building CXX object port/CMakeFiles/cpl.dir/cpl_compressor.cpp.o
[  7%] Building CXX object port/CMakeFiles/cpl.dir/cpl_float.cpp.o
[  7%] Building CXX object port/CMakeFiles/cpl.dir/cpl_vsil_unix_stdio_64.cpp.o
/Users/nsands/Documents/Development/3rdParty/GDAL3/gdal-3.5.0/port/cpl_vsil_unix_stdio_64.cpp:793:22: error: variable has incomplete type 'struct statvfs64'
    struct statvfs64 buf;
                     ^
/Users/nsands/Documents/Development/3rdParty/GDAL3/gdal-3.5.0/port/cpl_vsil_unix_stdio_64.cpp:793:12: note: forward declaration of 'statvfs64'
    struct statvfs64 buf;
           ^
1 error generated.
make[2]: *** [port/CMakeFiles/cpl.dir/cpl_vsil_unix_stdio_64.cpp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [port/CMakeFiles/cpl.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
==========

So the patch has fixed the vast majority of the errors, but this one still persists.

DODGY WORK AROUND:

I then modified the file 'port/cpl_vsil_unix_stdio_64.cpp’ and deleted the ‘if' section for ‘HAVE_STATVFS64', forcing it to run the stavfs ‘else’ part instead, and this time the build continued on (as far as the “98%” mark before producing another error which I might post seperately if I can’t resolve it).  Obviously this is not the ‘correct’ way to fix the issue, but I hope that it demonstrates (part of) where the issue lies and hopefully might help to identify the correct solution?

So for some reason, when the 'port/cpl_vsil_unix_stdio_64.cpp’ file is used, it appears that HAVE_STATVFS64 is defined, despite the patch having been applied.

Following the patch, my cmake/helpers/configure.cmake file shows that the patch has been applied.  The relevent portion of that file now looks like this:

==========
  check_function_exists(ftruncate64 HAVE_FTRUNCATE64)
  if (HAVE_FTRUNCATE64)
    set(VSI_FTRUNCATE64 "ftruncate64")
  else ()
    set(VSI_FTRUNCATE64 "ftruncate")
  endif ()

  if (${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} MATCHES "iOS")
    set(VSI_FOPEN64 "fopen")
    set(VSI_FTRUNCATE64 "ftruncate")
    set(VSI_FTELL64 "ftell")
    set(VSI_FSEEK64 "fseek")
    set(VSI_STAT64 stat)
    set(VSI_STAT64_T stat)
    unset(HAVE_FOPEN64)
    unset(HAVE_FTRUNCATE64)
    unset(HAVE_FTELL64)
    unset(HAVE_FSEEK64)
    unset(HAVE_STATVFS64)
  endif()

  set(UNIX_STDIO_64 TRUE)

  set(INCLUDE_XLOCALE_H)
  if(HAVE_XLOCALE_H)
    set(INCLUDE_XLOCALE_H "#include <xlocale.h>")
  endif()
==========

Cheers,
Nik.

I now get the errors in the ouput listed below.  Note that I found one other location in the same configure.cmake file where it was checking for “Darwin” and I made the same change to that line, but it made no difference to these errors below.
