Summary: FLTK viewer should display build date in About dialog

Initial Comment:
The Windows vncviewer displays the build date and the bitness (32-bit or 
64-bit) of the binary in the About dialog.  Both are useful in tracking down 
end user problems as well as performance issues (the 64-bit viewer performs 
significantly faster than the 32-bit viewer.)  It would be nice for the FLTK 
viewer to do likewise.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.

  That's fine.  The same procedure should work that works on Linux in that

  non-vendor-supplied version of GCC on Mac, though.

 Is there a way to build Mac binaries on a non-Mac platform?  I'm
 academically curious, because I didn't think that was possible.

Indeed there is. Binutils is still a work in progress (ld is the final
missing component if I remember correctly), but gcc supports it just
fine. As a replacement for binutils you use odcctools, which is some
kind of fork.

Just grab the SDK out of xcode (probably need a mac for that) and set
up things as you would any other cross compiler. Note that OS X SDK
10.5+ requires ObjectiveC 2.0, which in turn means gcc 4.6. We're using
the 10.4 SDK and gcc 4.5 here though.

Well, I have two Macs already, and one is my primary machine, so I have
no practical need for such a setup, but it's interesting that someone
has done it.  I generally just take the approach of using virtual
machines rather than cross-compiling.
