Re: [Plib-users] OS X Compatibility?

[mat t. p. <pr...@tt...>]

Ron-


You'll need to copy the following files into your build directory and  
overwrite those supplied by the PLIB package:

/usr/share/libtool/config.sub
/usr/share/libtool/config.guess

it should configure just fine after the change.

A bit of advice from an OSX Plib user, you're going to find some pretty  
funky things with PLIB and the system.  There are two things you can do  
to get around this:

1.) Compile all of PLIB into your project instead of using them as  
libs.  A big problem that I ran into is that Project Builder wont  
consider the PLIB libs as C++ and will fail miserably when you try to  
link against them. I actually had to make a framework for the PLIB  
headers when I was using 1.5, then link in that framework _and_ the C  
libs to get my stuff to compile.

2.)  A guy recently came on here asking for the same kind of stuff and  
we talked a bit.  He found out from someone else that a tool called  
"ConvertMake" worked really well for dealing with the conversion  
problems.  I suggest you take a serious look at ConvertMake, it could  
make your life a lot easier.

Good luck-

mat.
