mupdf limits.h: No such file or directory in mac os x

Question

I'm trying to compile the mupdf project for using it in a android application. I have done all the steps until arrive the point where I have to compile the "generated" folder in my S.O. I'm using Mac Os 10.7.5. The problem comes when I try to do "make" in the top folder of the project, and I always get the same error.

make: *** [build/debug/ft_ftbase.o] Error 1

I don't know what I can do because I have the "limits.h" file and the others that the compiler says that do not appear.

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you checked the location "/Developer/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/include" to see if limits.h is present in that folder ? (I know you say you have the file, but where is it installed ?)

Our suspicion is that your gcc installation is broken, or that (possibly) there is some kind of path problem, given that the .h files which can't be found are system files, not part of MuPDF or the 3rd party libraries.

FWIW the lead developer of MuPDF does all his Android development work on a Mac, so we are pretty sure it works without any extra steps when installing gcc or MuPDF.
