macOS Compile error with gcc. Need a correct MAKEFILE.

[holesno]

I need to compile this following file using gcc in MAC OS X 10.5.8.
This code works fine in some old version of debain.
So that modifying code is not allowed.
Is it possible and how?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#include <sys/sem.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define samplingPeriod 100000 // ns

int main(int argc,char* argv[])
{
struct itimerspec itime;
itime.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
itime.it_value.tv_nsec = samplingPeriod;

itime.it_interval.tv_sec = 0;
itime.it_interval.tv_nsec = samplingPeriod;
timer_t timer_id;
timer_create(CLOCK_REALTIME, NULL, &timer_id);
return 0;
}

/////////////////////////////////

I'm still digging around, but it appears you are using POSIX timers and OS X doesn't support them. It uses BSD timers.
