Re: OsiriX [Was: environment]

Copypasting a header from a wrong OS can only mean problems. I recommend you don't do that.

Best route would be trying to use just libraries natively available on your target platform (such as Linux). In any case, it would be best if you convinced upstream authors to maintain a GNUstep build officially, either by contributing patches they would accept or by convincing them GNUstep is a good target.

Thanks for the suggestions,

inbetween I had googled a bit, and I was considering two options:

Option 1: somebody tried and had that problem
http://old.nabble.com/Compiling-Osirix-with-GnuStep-td25938560.html
so maybe try the suggested solution (although apparently it led to further problems down the line--and it's a while ago).

Option 2: I found libkern/OSByteOrder.h online, as part of Chameleon which seems to be abooloader?
I check it out, in case of.

So I'll add the two suggested Options to that of:

Option 3: trying to replace with NSByteOrder

Option 4: asking OsiriX developers, and indeed the problem is now more of an OsiriX one.

I guess I'll try them all, maybe starting with 2 (although typing 'make' just nearly froze my PC...) as it shouldn't require changing the actual code. (But NSByteOrder sounds better in long term).

(For the moment, Osirix compilation fails at  'libkern/OSByteOrder.h: No such file or directory' but that was a first attempt,
I'll try more).

The OSByteOrder stuff is more or less the same as the NSByteOrder stuff, so it should be relatively simple to rewrite it to use NSByteOrder.  No idea why they'd use the libkern interfaces - they're only meant to be used for low-level things that can't link against Foundation.
