Re: [Swarm-Support] Porting problems...

[Paul Johnson]

Most importantly, I'd suggest you get some current application that does 
work and then compare the usages between that one and your old one.

Also, you have verified that your version of Swarm compiles/runs for 
some of the swarmapps that are known to run, right?

Concerning:
> ModelSwarm.m:99: warning: `ConsumerDescription' does not respond to
> `setSizeX:Y:'

You get this kind of message when the compiler can't figure what type of 
object you are sending the message to (if you just declared it as an id, 
for example) or if the method is not declared in a header file.

You can check the header files for yourself this way
$ cd /usr/include/swarm
$ grep setSize *
space.h:+ create: (id <Zone>)aZone setSizeX: (unsigned)x Y: (unsigned)y;
space.h:- setSizeX: (unsigned)x Y: (unsigned)y;
space.h:+ create: (id <Zone>)aZone setSizeX: (unsigned)x Y: (unsigned)y 
setDiffusionConstant: (double)d setEvaporationRate: (double)e;

This shows that space objects do have the method, but your code is not 
giving the compiler enough information on where to find it.  Possibly 
you don't have the right header file included.  That's one of the big 
changes in Swarm after version 1.0.

If you try your best and can't get it to go, send me a link to your 
tar.gz file and I'll allocate 30 minutes of concentration to it. 
Usually, the changes are not terrible, but you just have to carefully 
check each compiler warning, one by one.
