Re: error compiling GUI - string constants

[Ivan Vučica]

Fwiw original version defined two symbols pointing to constant strings with the same value. Fred and I asked for changes. I asked Daniel to investigate using NSString const*, and when that worked we went ahead with submitting the change.

Sorry about this. We did not consider compiler differences, but that's why we have people trying it out \o/

I like Josh's workaround.

I will commit the "fix" to unbreak build instead of "reverting" so your
additions get preserved, however I do like and understand the idea of
using and ensuring the samge string with the same poinger gets used.

I thus ask compiler experts whats wrong of or if this is a quirk with
NSStrings in GCC ? Or somethig known that clang is smarter to accept
resolving the assignments to the same pointer?
