Re: [Plib-users] Compiling issues on MacOS X 10.5

While that might make it work in the present case, it is most
emphatically NOT a good general fix.  Most platforms do define "uint"
somewhere else, and taking out the "#ifdef" would break PLIB on those
platforms.  A more general solution would be to find where MacOS X
10.5.4 defines "uint" and include that definition.

Never tried this, but as you can see from the error the problem is it 
doesn't know what a uint is.

It's typedef'ed to unsigned int in the ssgLoadFLT source, but with an 
ifdef UL_WIN32.

Just take out the #ifdef will make it work for you. No idea if that's a 
proper fix i.e. would work on every platform.

   Cheers,

Stuart.
