This will permanently solve the issue where compilation on OSX broke because C++ code was added to some header files
-Note: (important if you develop mac specific code)
taken from http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Cocoa/Objective-C++.html
gdb lacks an integrated C++ with Objective-C parser. This means that gdb won't be able to evaluate expressions that contain both C++ and Objective-C constructs.
gdb assumes that the language for ".mm" files is C++.
you can change it to objective C by typing: (gdb) set language objc
Mixing C++ and objective C has some limitation (see link for all of them)
-Fix: WinCE doesn't know GetKeyboardState
-Fix: made a replacement of GetCurrentDirectory, where CurDir is assumed to be the dir the executable is located (esoftinteractive.com)
-Fix: the GCC compiler is more happy if the WinMain is called that
-Fix: a really old typo (missing ')') ;)
-Fix: GdiFlush() isn't supported on WinCE
Note: this is again another not so nice workaround as Objective C fails to include C++ code in the headers
We should move to Objective C++ as soon as possible, but such a change is not done overnight and
this quick fix will allow OSX to compile until the prober solution is done
- A proper ./configure, so everything needs to be configured only once, not for every make.
- Usage of makedepend when available. This greatly reduces the time needed for generating the dependencies.
- A generator for all project files. There is a single file with sources, which is used to generate Makefiles and the project files for MSVC.
- Proper support for OSX universal binaries.
- Object files for non-MSVC compiles are also placed in separate directories, making is faster to switch between debug and release compiles and it does not touch the directory with the source files.
- Functionality to make a bundle of all needed files for for example a nightly or distribution of a binary with all needed GRFs and language files.
Note: as this merge moves almost all files, it is recommended to make a backup of your working copy before updating your working copy.
