Cannot build with gcc 4.2

[rgovostes]

The 10.4u and 10.5 SDKs do not include headers required to build FriBidi, JSON, and RBSplitView, required components of Adium with gcc version 4.2.1, which is default on some systems.

You can determine which version of gcc is default by opening Terminal and typing gcc --version:

i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5564)

Workaround A

You can configure these projects to use GCC 4.0. See the attached patch to take care of this for you.

Workaround B

If you are on Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard", you may become a registered iPhone developer and  download the iPhone SDK. Then change the projects above to use the 10.5 SDK.

Workaround C

This may have unintended consequences but is easy to revert: You can make a link within your 10.4u SDK to use the headers in another SDK. For instance, if you have the iPhone SDK installed as above, you could run (substituting darwin9 with the release of your kernel):

sudo ln -s /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1 /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1
sudo ln -s /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin9/4.2.1 /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin9/4.2.1

Or, if you do not have the iPhone SDK, you may simply use the 4.0.1 headers:

sudo ln -s /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1 /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1

If you are compiling dependencies via the build scripts in Utilities/dep-build-scripts/, you may want to force it to use gcc 4.0.1 rather than 4.2.1. Edit the common.sh script, and find the line

SDK_ROOT="/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk"

Above it, add,

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.0

Closing all waiting on apple tickets. These just take up space, and are largely ignored anyway. Any functionality we need but cannot add due to apple is a good radar to file, but we are not apple's tracker.
