inventor fails to build on 10.5.6

[css@…]

The inventor port fails to build on Max OS X Leopard 10.5.4, at least on my MacBook Pro. I encountered several errors:

First, bison seems much more strict, as I needed to apply a  debian patch to SoCalcParse.y.

Next, I encountered more iconv fun:

SoText2.c++: In member function 'SbBool SoBitmapFontCache::convertToUCS(uint32_t, const SoMFString&)':
SoText2.c++:781: error: invalid conversion from 'const char**' to 'char**'
SoText2.c++:781: error:   initializing argument 2 of 'size_t libiconv(void*, char**, size_t*, char**, size_t*)'

This can be resolved by removing patches for both SoText2.c++ and SoText3.c++.

Apparently the  10.5.2 update it removed the GLwMDrawA.h header.  This page details some similar Leopard X11 issues getting XCode to reinstall GLw headers.

I'll update the ticket with additional findings as I move forward...

Ahh, the inclusion of GLw headers  was a mistake on Apple's part, but that just means we'll have to find another way to work around the problem. I'll have to digest the  contents of this post to see if we need to create a new workaround. Do we need a libGLw port consisting of:

I'm getting closer!

• added new SoCalcParse.y patch
• removed patches to SoText2.c++, SoText3.c++, and TextWrapper.c++.

I'm now down to an iconv link error:

It works! I successfully built inventor on my MacBook Pro and loaded several models into ivview. I don't know the ramifications of the changes when building on Tiger, so I don't want to delete the no-longer-used patches just yet.

Replying to css@…:

I'm now down to an iconv link error:

I resolved this link error by adding -lcharset to the localrules patch.
