Mac?
« on: July 10, 2005, 09:00:58 pm »
Hi!
Just a question out of curiousity: I was just wondering how much is needed for a mac port? Mac OS X is my preferred OS, so support would be pretty neat..

(This post DOES NOT imply that I'm going to code a port, there is a possibility, but don't count on it ;) And i dunno if you even WANT one.. hehe)

Probably some code has to be changed, but I don't know what.

I am not able to do it, because I don't have a mac :)

(what I wondered was mostly if you used any library that does not exist for mac..)

I can't think of one, TinyXML is compiled by us, wxwidgets is still available, I thought that was all...

The most important goal of C::B is portability across platforms. Because of this, external dependencies are kept to a minimum.
To build C::B you need wxWidgets, STC (in wxWidgets contrib) and TinyXML (included).
I don't own a Mac to try it but I guess that it would build succesfully as it is now. I mean, if wxWidgets is available for Mac, I see no reason for C::B to fail compiling there.

(Sorry to disappoint you but, :roll:)
I don't think it will work. OS X 10.4 (the latest version) uses GCC 4 and it is very picky with casts. If you haven't tested with that compiler it will probably not compile.. Most projects aren't very hard to port, tho.

That's what 's important. The point is that it will require minor modifications to work, or so I 'm told...

It seems you remember wrong.
Search in that link for Mac support.

@mandrav:
My impression of Mac is that it is a relatively stable platform, though not even close to the maturity of linux or windows. The reason I use mac is mac mini, because I need to move my computer around and can't afford a laptop..

MB I should install Gentoo PPC.. (Gentoo rocks.. :))

Now I'm trying to compile Code::Blocks (CVS HEAD, wxWidgets 2.6.1 non-unicode)
There are very many wxChar* <=> char* cast errors. Should I just do (wxChar*), or should I use _() _T(). (I read your discussion about unicode..)

If it fixes the errors, use _() for translatable text and _T() for not translatable (like config options etc).
Then submit a patch ;)

can the _( macro be used for other non-""'s also, e.g. _(fname.GetPath())?
Or should normal casts be used?

EDIT: The answer is no, the _() macro just adds a L to the beginning L"string" for unicode
