It depends how you want to build it - if you want to build Quesa as a
framework I believe the PB/Xcode projects have targets set up to do
that.

I don't know if they're set up to build static libraries: those work as
you'd expect though, i.e., build a .lib file then just add it to your
app project.

It sounds like your project isn't defining one of the build constants
ahead of time, and so the auto-detection isn't picking up gcc.

You can probably pull an appropriate test for gcc out of
/usr/include/TargetConditionals.h

This can probably be gutted to be honest, as we might as well use carbon
events for any Carbon builds of Qut - the reason the WNE stuff was in
there at all was to allow some of the apps to build as InterfaceLib apps
(i.e., not Carbon) so they could also link to QD3D.

The latter is probably the simplest approach, as there shouldn't
anything stopping a Carbon build of Qut from using CE to get events.
