fatal error: sys/types.h not found

[jkhall]

Hello. I'm trying to get set up on an M1 mac with the Getting started snippet. On running cargo build I get the error:

/Projects/simple_pgquery/pgquerytest/target/debug/build/pg_query-8200207fd30b02f3/out/pg_query.h:5:10: fatal error: 'sys/types.h' file not found

Wanted to ask if this was a known issue with a workaround. If not, I will assume it's an issue on my machine and keep trying to fix it. Thanks.

I think that's from a missing system dependency. brew install cmake might fix it.

Once you do get it working, feel free to open a PR to update the documentation!

[jkhall]

Will do! For what it's worth, I already had cmake installed. I even uninstalled and reinstalled and it didn't seem to fix anything. That said pg_query = "0.7" in Cargo.toml does build successfully, so I'm trying track down what the difference is.

Hi, I got a quite similar error, when building this crate:

error: failed to run custom build command for `pg_query v5.1.0`
note: To improve backtraces for build dependencies, set the CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_BUILD_OVERRIDE_DEBUG=true environment variable to enable debug information generation.
