MacOS X last lap

[Bill Northcott]

Paul's cvs updates killed one error and a heap of warnings.  .la for 
analysis, misc,objectbase,random,simtools,simtoolsgui,space,tclobjc and 
tkobjc all build.

We now have just four show stoppers:

1. src/collections/collections.m
as part of the compilation it makes a file collections.xm.  This file 
appears to contain almost every line twice.  This spews a row of errors 
and dies.  This error has been the same on every compiler I have tried.

2. src/defobj/HDF5Object.m
at lines 1045 and 1070 the following code appears:
  if (cdata->command == H5T_CONV_INIT)
    cdata->need_bkg = H5T_BKG_TEMP;
  else if (cdata->command == H5T_CONV_CONV)

H5T_BKG_TEMP appears nowhere else in the source and is not replaced by the 
precompiler, presumably the first conditional has not been true on other 
platforms.  Any idea where H5T_BKG_TEMP should be defined and what it's 
for.

3. src/defobj/defobj.m
in the intermediate file defobj.xm there is what appears to be an out of 
context @end near the beginning.  The causes a parse error followed by 
other problems and it dies.

4. src/activity/activity.m
in the intermediate file activity.xm there is a parse error in line 6. 

Is there any significance in errors 1,3 and 4 all involving Objective C 
code files with names commencing with lowercase letters, which is not 
usually the case?  In any event, they would appear to be a function of the 
precompiler maybe bugs in that. 

Error 2 looks like an error in the Swarm sources.
