In what way? Does the carbon one work?

Are you trying to run it from the command line? Try running it from the Finder.

There should be a single binary at the root of the browserx folder which MacOSX should run.

I tried running it from the Finder, and it bounced a couple of times and died. im running 10.3.9.

Launch Xcode and open the project in that, then run with debugging. All the source should be there.

I got v.01 from browser6.site88.net.

Il look and find the project file..

Um... where is the project file? linky?

 

[porter]

Are there any files that end in ".c" and ".xproj" in the ZIP?

Nope

 

[porter]

I suggest that the next packaging contains all that good stuff. I'll also make sure I test builds on Jaguar.

 

[MrMacPlus]

Porter, I'm still waiting. Just email me, it may or may not take a while, I'm no longer as regular here on this forum.

 

[barana]

I do acknowledge the fact ur a little busy, porter, but could we get a hi or peep from u?

Still here, and tinkering on the browser. Will have something soon I hope.

Porter,

I'm unable to compile Browser6 under Think C 5.0. I open the project, make, and it gets quite a ways before giving the error...

can't open file "MacTCP.h"

... This error comes from the #include in the header AdressXlation.h

There's no MacTCP.h in the source. I tried putting a MacTCP.h in the folder, but Think C didn't see it.

So my question is... How do I Think C to find MacTCP.h, or is that not even the problem?

Thanks.

 

[porter]

Include directories are a pain under Think C, if everything is the the same directory it works.

However inside the Think C folder itself is a folder for includes, what you do is put aliases in there to your directories with include files, this approach doesn't really scale, but it's fine for putting things like MacTCP.h in.

Well done for attempting to compile, I'v just acquired a new pismo and hopefully will find time to do the text rendering.

 

[equant]

Well done for attempting to compile

It's my pleasure. Hoping to do something useful some day and save you some trouble. Looks like for now I'll just cause you more.

So I put MacTCP.h in the includes dir in Think C as you suggested, and that got me past the include problem, but now I'm getting an error in MacTCP.h

invalid declaration

for the line:

typedef UInt8 b_8;

I suspect that I'm using the wrong MacTCP.h? Here's what I'm using:

 	Version:	Technology:	MacTCP 2.0.6
				Package:	Universal Interfaces 2.1 in ÒMPW LatestÓ on ETO #18

	Copyright:	© 1984-1995 by Apple Computer, Inc.
				All rights reserved.

Do you think I need your copy of MacTCP.h, or is this a different issue?

 

[porter]

Do you think I need your copy of MacTCP.h, or is this a different issue?

You need an earlier MacTCP.h, Think C5.0 is prior to universal headers.

Either that or you fixup MacTCP.h as you go.

I'll dig out what I am using.

 

[equant]

I'll dig out what I am using.

That would be great. I searched my systems, and then the Internet, and all I could find anywhere was MacTCP.h 2.0.6

 

[barana]

hey porter, i noticed theres only source in the _browser6_ package. could you pretty please email me the latest mpw for system 6 and the mactcp.h file so i can give it a whirl? thx.
