[Freeciv-Dev] Cocoa port/cleanups

[Andy Black <blackaw@xxxxxxx>]

Greetings all

After a long hiatus and an email address change, I'm back.  2-3 years 
ago I started on a port of Freeciv to the Mac OS using carbon.  That 
project has been put on the back burner for the indefinite future. 
During that time, I've changed e-mail addresses.
Recently, I restarted my porting work, this time using Cocoa and 
Apple's interface builder.  I've uploaded a copy of my testbed source 
for the client to http://www.geocities.com/chswizard/freeciv in a 
.tgz format.  Be aware that the bandwidth limit on the site may 
prevent access on occasion.
The testbed is severely lacking in functionality, but does compile 
and run.  You can connect to servers (but the server list is having 
issues) and use the chatline.  You can see the explored parts of the 
map, move units (with some graphics problems) and issue orders to 
units.  Cities can be built, but the city dialog is less than 
functional.
I found that I had to rename the attribute.c/h files in the client 
directory because I was getting undefined symbol errors when 
compiling the client under Project Builder.  As best I can tell, 
Project Builder is getting confused and using the wrong attribute.h 
file for compiling some of the client files.  The changes to the 
agents code is attached as attribute.diff.
I think I found some changes that need to be made to the gui-stub so 
that it will compile.  Those changes are in gui-stub.diff.  I haven't 
tested compiling with the changed code.
The changes in common.diff are things that I had to do to the common 
code to get the client to compile.  At this time, the testbed 
probably won't compile using standard makefiles.  When I get the 
client to a more useable point (I.e. most of the dialogs work)  I'll 
consider trying to get it to build using makefiles.  I'm in school, 
so I don't have much free time to work on side projects such as 
Freeciv.
