3rdparty/mimalloc error: storage size of 'info' isn't known

[barracuda156]

I tried to build MoarVM @2022.2 on 10.6, and it fails on the following:

I guess mimalloc doesn't support 10.6. Until we check for that when running Configure.pl, you can just build with --no-mimalloc (i.e, perl Configure.pl --no-mimalloc for MoarVM, if you're having Rakudo build MoarVM for you you'll need perl Configure.pl --gen-moar --moar-option='--no-mimalloc').

@MasterDuke17 Thank you. I used that, the build proceeded, but failed here:

Then it looks like MoarVM won't build on 10.6 without some work done. 10.7 will probably be fine if you can upgrade.

I have built it in fact. Wasted an hour looking for manual solutions just to figure out all I needed was to add legacysupport port group to the port file.

Thank you!

P. S. I cannot upgrade, 10.6 is the last available for PowerPC.
