Getting OpenMP to compile on OS X

I've had issues getting OpenMP going on the Mac, both on a 10.6 / XCode3 system and on a 10.7 / XCode 4 system. The configure script says it's not available, but it is. FWIW, I can work around this by changing the configure script's sample OpenMP code (line 15359) to:

/* Override any GCC internal prototype to avoid an error.
Use char because int might match the return type of a GCC
builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
#endif
#include "omp.h"
int
main ()
{
omp_set_num_threads (2);
int count;
#pragma omp parallel for
for (count = 0; count < 2; count++)
;
return 0;
}

It's a cleaner test of OpenMP. At this point, you can "./configure --disable-shared" and get a static library for libraw at least. I've yet to debug the dynamic one.

Unfortunately, OpenMP under

Unfortunately, OpenMP under MacOS 10.6 have problems with multithreaded apps.
So, we disabled openmp under MacOS X entirely.

If you want to use it, you may uncomment openmp lines in Makefile.dist and use make -f Makefile.dist to compile LibRaw.
