If I remember correctly Eric Bachard has said that Aqua will not run on Mac OS X 10.3 at all. As we are compiling with gcc4, it may be the case that it will run in Mac OS X 10.3.9, not Mac OS X 10.3 - 10.3.8.

Eric Bachard is right. I don't think OpenOffice Aqua can run on MacOS X 10.3.9 because some functions of the Carbon/Quartz API that we use, need
at least MacOS X 10.4. So, even if we have gcc 4 on this MacOS X
version, IMHO, we can't compile aqua on it.


Yes, this is true : we have to assume the use of a recent API , and things are going fast, breaking 10.3 compatibility.


They are several places where code is broken, but the first I have in mind is about Generic Color Space, ( code introduced by Christian Lippka in salbmp.cxx), if I remember correctly.

These API part is not "directly" 10.3 compatible, but can be backported without too much work IMHO. And If we want to keep the compatibility with Panther, I think I see what has to be modified, but I have not the time (and I prefer continue to implement native controls, there is a lot of work).


Any volunteer ? ( ... is welcome )
