Error when using make -j4

[Danderson123]

Hello, I am a Mac user and appear to have successfully compiled using GCC. However, when I run make -j4 I get the following errors:

This compiles ok for me on Linux, but fails on OS X. I think it may be because size_t will typically be 64 bits on Linux, but 32 bits on OS X. I think the fix for this is to make the various places where hashes are defined as:

std::vector<size_t>& hashes

to explicitly use 64 bits as in other defintions:

std::vector<uint64_t>& hashes

However this will still fail when compiling aio_search_file as we don't have the linux kernel headers:

../cobs/query/compact_index/aio_search_file.hpp:13:10: fatal error: linux/aio_abi.h: No such file or directory
   13 | #include <linux/aio_abi.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@bingmann Do you know any way around this, or have any plans to officially support OS X?
Also, would it be helpful if I raised a PR for the consistent integer widths?

Or it may be that they are the same width, but unsigned long long vs unsigned long, which are treated as distinct by the compiler despite being the same - I'm not sure! Either way changing the size_t to a specified width doesn't seem like a bad idea

[bingmann]

Yes, changing size_t to the correct specific data types is of course wise.
Regarding the other issues, I don't have a Mac, so I can't fix that.
