Odd that it works on other systems. It sounds like the fellow knows his way
around so I am wondering if you can have him do this. Modify sound.c and
remove the following line (OR comment it out):

     err = NativePathNameToFSSpec(cSoundFilename, &fsSoundFile, 0);

And replace with this:

     FSRef ref;
     err = FSPathMakeRef( ( const UInt8* ) cSoundFilename, &ref, 0 );
     err = FSGetCatalogInfo( &ref, kFSCatInfoNone, NULL, NULL, &fsSoundFile,
NULL );


Ultimately he'll end up with something like:

//      err = NativePathNameToFSSpec(cSoundFilename, &fsSoundFile, 0);
        FSRef ref;
        err = FSPathMakeRef( ( const UInt8* ) cSoundFilename, &ref, 0 );
        err = FSGetCatalogInfo( &ref, kFSCatInfoNone, NULL, NULL,
&fsSoundFile, NULL );

Try to make gnubg again. If this works I can commit the change.

This antiquated code use to be shared with the windows version (At one time
Quicktime was supported as a windows sound system), and could be replaced
with the newer Quicktime API's. This of course would not make it compatible
with earlier versions of OS/X (10.3) - but I doubt this is a real issue.
