Gomoku.app ported to Mac OS X

[Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf]

Hi,
I want to inform you that I have ported Gomoku.app to Mac Os X 10.1.2 ( == 
current version). While some minor tasks remain (creating an apllication 
icon, internationalizing MainMenu.nib, creating a better about panel), 
Gomoku.app now runs flawless on Mac OS X. Since I find it inappropriate to 
post a tarball on the list, I'll just publish the diffs with comments 
here. Anyone (Nicola Pero?) interested in all the files (including 
Gomoku.pbproj and MaiMenu.nib) please mail me directly.

Only in Gomoku-1.2.5/: .DS_Store
        silly Mac OS X Finder file, not needed, don't care

> #include "GNUstep.h"
        that header file contains macros used in GNUstep apps. I am not 
shure about the name, maybe it's better to rename it into GNUstep2Cocoa.h. 
What do you think?

        those changes were needed to establish connetions in Interface 
Builder. They should also work in GNUstep I asume (at least there were no 
special measures taken in Affiche on that case)

        Outlets and Actions again, that awakeFromNib is needed to 
initialize controller propoerly. see the comment on main.m
Binary files Gomoku-1.2.5.original/English.lproj/Localizable.strings and 
Gomoku-1.2.5/English.lproj/Localizable.strings differ
        Here I changed those files to unicode since I had some problems 
with german umlauts (actually in German.lproj/Localizable.strings, but I 
changed all of them)
Only in Gomoku-1.2.5/English.lproj: MainMenu.nib
        Our nib file. Contains the menu and a proxy instance of 
controller.

        the header that helps porting. I'll include it at the end of that 
mail.

        menu creation code ifdef-ed out, application starting code 
changed. Why?:

   controller = [Controller new: cnt];
   [app setDelegate: controller];
   [app run];

caused the app to start without loading the nib, that means menuless.

   controller = [Controller new: cnt];
   [app setDelegate: controller];
   NSApplicationMain(argc, argv);

menus did load but I got an "EXC_BAD_ACCESS". So there is no other way 
than to call NSApplicationMain(argc, argv); before creating/initializing 
controller. controller has to be created from a nib. Since the nib of 
controller is just an instance of NSWindow with a custom class in IB I 
have to catch that awakeFromNib to initialize controller. Sadly I don't 
know how to pass that cnt over to that method. That's why I have just 
inserted "8" instead of cnt in awakeFromNib.

And finally: GNUstep.h (which I think should possibly renamed into 
GNUstep2Cocoa.h and should become official part (cvs wise) of GNUstep (for 
porting purposes)):
