does quesa play nice with mach-o?

[Keith W. <kw...@cs...>]

Obviously Quesa gets along with Carbon just fine, as I have had no 
trouble carbonizing Queeg (only needed a couple of tweaks to get it 
going) and many of the example programs are clearly OS X native.  I made 
a rather quick attempt to turn Queeg into a Mach-O project and 
immediately faced a couple of serious problems.  First of all, of 
course, libraries are handled fairly differently in Mach-O projects.  I 
was unable to simply add the Quesa lib file to the project and I don't 
know how to interpret the Quesa lib file as a framework.  Any thoughts 
on this?  Second of all, during compiling, the Quesa.h preproc 
directives fail in numerous places, not the least of which is the 
following segment at line 93:

#if (!QUESA_OS_MACINTOSH && \
     !QUESA_OS_WIN32     && \
     !QUESA_OS_UNIX      && \
     !QUESA_OS_BE        && \
     !QUESA_OS_COCOA)
    #error Target OS not selected!

So QUESA_OS_MACINTOSH isn't defined, which means this block at the very 
top of Quesa.h failed to process correctly:

#if ((defined(__MWERKS__) && __dest_os == __mac_os && !(__INTEL__)) || 
defined(MPW_CPLUS) || defined(MPW_C))
    #ifndef QUESA_OS_MACINTOSH
        #define QUESA_OS_MACINTOSH                      1
    #endif
#endif

Any thoughts on how to kick-start Mach-O with Quesa?

Fundamentally, I don't care too much about Mach-O, except that I noticed 
that Queeg/Qut doesn't use Carbon events for Carbon applications.  It 
uses old fashioned Classic OS 9 events.  The preprocs in Queeg/Qut 
suggest that it only uses Carbon events for Mach-O apps, not Carbon 
apps, as shown here at the top of Qut.c:

#ifndef QUT_MAC_CARBON_EVENTS
    #if defined(TARGET_RT_MAC_MACHO) && (TARGET_RT_MAC_MACHO)
        #define QUT_MAC_CARBON_EVENTS                1
    #else
        #define QUT_MAC_CARBON_EVENTS                0
    #endif
#endif

...which is why I'm trying to convert Queeg/Qut to Mach-O...although I 
suspect I could approach the problem from the other direction and try to 
get the Carbon version of Queeg/Qut to use Carbon events.

Thanks for any input on this issue.

Cheers!
