在Linux上无法在Mac上运行的随机函数

Question

I'm currently learning network programming in university and programmed a server. As we need this one for further progress I need to reuse the code every time. There is a random function with an error I don't really get because on the linux pcs at university everything compiles well only my mac which I do all my homework shows this error.

#include <signal.h>
#include <time.h>
//#define PORT "3490"  // the port users will be connecting to
#define BACKLOG 10   // how many pending connections queue will hold


int random(int min, int max){
      srand ( time(NULL) ); 
      return min + rand() / (RAND_MAX / (max - min + 1) + 1);
    }

random() is a known function name. change it to something else and it will work.
