Re: [MacOSX] gcc3.1-1145 for downloading

[W . Northcott]

It seems to me in my ignorance that installing libiconv on a MacOS X 
machine is almost certainly unnecessary and probably a recipe for trouble. 
 I  certainly would not do it.

As far as I can see, all the Unicode stuff is in the CoreFoundation 
framework, and it does not seem good to me to install a different and 
possibly incompatible unicode framework.  I am very much trying to work 
towards a version of Swarm which will compile and run on a MacOS X system 
with the minimum modification.   Nirvana would be to end up with a Swarm 
framework which can be installed and then used to build apps in Project 
Builder using it, the AppKit framework and not much else.

 I try to keep modifications to pre-release versions of software which 
Apple intends to ship - such as the gcc3.1 compiler.  If I build a 
compiler incorporating libiconv it will be different to the standard Apple 
3.1 compiler which will ship with Jaguar and that may give me problems 
down the track.

The obvious exception to this principle is XFree86 which is necessary 
right now because of the version incompatablilities between tcl/tk Aqua 
and BLT.
