Re: NIB loader: custom views don't draw themselves

[Gregory Casamento]

Eric,

It shows for me, but my version is using the XIB, not the NIB.  I suspect yours 
is as well.   I used buildtool to build the app and it works fine.  

The issue, I believe, is that nib encoding of certain information has changed 
between 10.5 and now and it is not being interpreted correctly.

On a side note I wish more people would start using buildtool.  It actually 
interprets the Xcode project file and uses it directly instead of generating 
make files.  It's much cleaner and more precise than pbxbuild.   To build it 
you need to build the Xcode framework in dev-libs and the front end buildtool 
in dev-apps.

Later,
