Re: Having build issues on Mac OS X

[Kevin Ingwersen]

Hey.

Oh, I know Xcode is good - but what if you really jUST need the compilers? 
Thats my case. I dont really like the Xcode IDE and usually just use 
TextWrangler. The only real reason I downloaded Xcode was for the compiler 
tools, and for building interfaces.

Whatever, next issue. Appearently, iconv acts up weird. What version are you 
compiling against?

(aka 'void *') and 'int')
