Details

r17553 introduced a dependency on <elf.h> in tools/creative.c, which is not present on all platforms (eg. Mac OS X, probably not too many others - AIX anyone?). I am assuming this is undesirable, and that we'd like to maintain fairly neutral build platform requirements?
This task depends upon

I can confirm this. Rockbox can not be compiled anymore under OS X. Can someone please fix it, or is there at least a workaround available? Maybe someone can post the required elf.h in the meantime.

As a work around, change #include <elf.h> to #include "elf.h" on line 24 of creative.c. Then copy the attached file to the tools directory.

Thanks that works like a treat. Hopefully someone can fix this in the official branch, asap.

I did the same thing - except I used the much smaller elf.h from NetBSD (attached). I should have put that in the initial comment.

Try this patch, it's still a sort of workaround but after all it's Apple who decided to not include elf.h ...
