I've finally managed to compile both Stellarium and my plugin on the Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 but one weird thing is that all of my dialogues appear too short. That is to say that controls placed near the bottom of the dialogue are partially and in some cases almost completely 'cut off' by bottom edge of the dialogue.
I had a look at other plugin dialogues on the Mac and they seem Ok so the problem appears to lie within my plugin. However, even with this same plugin, the appearance is consistant between Windows and Linux and this 'effect' happens only on the Mac. I probably have a couple of options here including adding some mac specific code that adjusts the height of the QWidget control for each dialogue or simply extending the height of each dialogue, but the latter might look odd on the other platforms. Is this just down to inconsistencies between platforms or is there likely to be something else going on here? For example, does it matter whether it is compiled in XCode or QT (I have so far only succeeded with using the latter)? In order to compile, I did initially get a failure and a couple of warnings. The failure is simply solved by removing the refrence to the sys/signalfd.h from SerialPort.hpp. It would seem that this is no longer required and commenting it out from the code works fine on both Mac and Linux and is not relevant to Windows. With regards to the warnings however, one I believe I can solve, but the other is about a missing /sw/lib path. I did a Google search on this and found that this path appears in a lot of things when they are being compiled but no explanation as to what it is for. On my system this path is not present. I'm not sure whether I can just create it or whether I need to install something. In any case, the compiled application still appears to work as expected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
