Cannot compile qtango under OSX

Platforms MacOS
1

Hi there,
I tried to compile qtango-5.3.9 under OSX - Yosemite. Qt packages were installed via macports, while omni, zmq, qwt and tango were compiled on the same machine.
Below the errors generated by the compiler:


In file included from tappinfo.cpp:1:
./tappinfo.h:9:69: error: unknown type name 'pid_t'
    TAppInfo(const QString& appName, const QStringList& args, const pid_t pid);
                                                                    ^
./tappinfo.h:13:5: error: unknown type name 'pid_t'
    pid_t pid;
    ^
tappinfo.cpp:3:75: error: unknown type name 'pid_t'
  ...QString& appN, const QStringList& appArgs, const pid_t appPid)

Any suggestions on how to solve the error?
Thank you in advance

On my linux box

man getpid

tells me <sys/types.h> holds this definition.
Maybe that include is missing? Try grepping your include folder for pid_t.

If nothing else helps you can also try to typedef it yourself as according to 1 pid_t is often just an int.
