mkstemp.c:69:8: error: implicit declaration of function 'getpid' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

Hi all.
I'm trying to install zipruby via gem (on mac),

$ gem install zipruby -v 0.3.6

but I get the following error

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing zipruby:

Tried fixing by including unistd.h in mkstemp.c, which lets me compile the code, but I'm not sure it's the right way.

Appreciate your help!

Try: bundle config build.zipruby --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"

I found that when fixing my thin install: macournoyer/thin#365 (comment)

Interesting, this command doesn't appear to be working for me, I ran it before running gem install zipruby -v '0.3.6'

I was able to solve a very similar case thanks to this ticket and a little more information from this stackoverflow post.

I'm using rbenv instead of rvm, and here's my error:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

An error occurred while installing zipruby (0.3.6), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install zipruby -v '0.3.6' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

In Gemfile:
  zipruby

And here's my solution:

gem install zipruby -v '0.3.6' -- --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"

Not sure how much this is going to break things, but with Ruby 3.3.1 I can install with:

gem install zipruby -- --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration -Wno-error=implicit-int -Wno-error=incompatible-function-pointer-types"

This works for me
