[Texmacs-dev] texmacs-aqua does not build on MacOSX 10.6

[Martin Costabel]

Trying to build texmacs-1.0.7.4 with the --enable-cocoa option on MacOSX 
10.6.3, I ran into several errors, see below.

Question: Is this version still going to be supported, or should I just 
forget about it?

Here is the first error (first brought to my attention by Peter Rapcan):

> g++ -ISystem -ISystem/Boot -ISystem/Classes -ISystem/Files -ISystem/Link

> Kernel/Types/string.hpp:35: note:                 string::string(int)

This error can be fixed by changing line 24 of Plugins/Cocoa/TMView.mm:

- hashmap<int,string> nskeymap(NULL);
+ hashmap<int,string> nskeymap(0);

After this, the next error is

> g++ -ISystem -ISystem/Boot -ISystem/Classes -ISystem/Files -ISystem/Link -ISystem/Misc -ISystem/Language -IKernel/Abstractions -IKernel/Containers -IKernel/Types -IData/Convert -IData/Drd -IData/History -IData/Observers -IData/String -IData/Tmfs -IData/Tree -IGuile -IGraphics/Bitmap_fonts -IGraphics/Fonts -IGraphics/Gui -IGraphics/Mathematics -IGraphics/Renderer -IPlugins -I/sw_x86_64/include -I/sw_x86_64/include -I/sw_x86_64/include/freetype2 -I/sw_x86_64/include -I/usr/include -I/sw_x86_64/include -Dmacosx -I/sw_x86_64/include -D_THREAD_SAFE -I/sw_x86_64/include -DAQUATEXMACS -Wall -Wno-return-type -O2 -fno-exceptions -I/sw_x86_64/include -c ./Plugins/Cocoa/aqua_menu.mm -o Objects/aqua_menu.o

This one can be fixed, as indicated, by inserting #include <typeinfo> 
into that file.

After this, the next error is

After this, I gave up.
