[TiLP-devel] About the Mac OS X port ...

[Julien B. <jb...@jb...>]

Hi,

A note about the Mac OS X port ...

When I did the native port nearly 3 years ago, I used the CPP
definition __MACOSX__ to mark specific code sections.

I disabled some central sections, like the RC file related functions,
because the native port uses the preferences framework offered by
Cocoa. Ditto for some other sections.

Thus, do *NOT* use this macro when building TiLP on Mac OS X to obtain
an *X11* build of TiLP. Failure to do so will terminally break the
native OS X port.

The above applies only to TiLP itself. The __MACOSX__ define in the
libs is not tied to the native port.


It might be good to go through the code and s/__MACOSX__/__COCOA__/
where appropriate. Don't do so without coordinating with me. I won't
have time for that until early June, so please don't break anything
until then.

I intend to work again on the native port at some yet unspecified
date; it depends on hardware availability on my side (if you want the
port to resurrect, I accept donations to get a decent Mac Mini to work
on -- decent means the highest clocked model with as much memory as
possible, because that's how it works in the Apple world)

JB.
