[TiLP-devel] Libtifiles endianness

[Christian W. <cwa...@gm...>]

The following code in libtifiles/src/misc.c, introduced by Julien in 
revision 1055 (2005-05-13), doesn't work on Mac OS X (and possibly 
other BSDs):

#ifndef __WIN32__
# include <endian.h>
# if __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN
#  define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 1
# endif /* __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN */
#endif /* !__WIN32__ */

There is no <endian.h> on Mac OS X. There is a <machine/endian.h> that 
defines BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN, but as far as I see not __BYTE_ORDER 
and __BIG_ENDIAN.

We should decide whether setting WORDS_BIGENDIAN should be done by 
configure or in the C code. At the moment, it is done in both places - 
in configure, as added by Romain as part of one of my Mac OS X patches; 
in the C code as shown above.
