Re: Problems in RTFConsumer using TimeMon.app on 64 bit system

[Pete French]

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this. Have been
rebuilding the system here and havent got around to a rebuild oif
GNustep until now...

In the main it seems to work O.K. - I rarely use it myself, but my
colleague that I delegated all GNUstep work to uses it all the
time and says he hasnt seen any problems.

It did surprise me - the usual places where 64bitness goes wrong is
at the low level. When I first looked at it there were a lot of
problems, but that was a number of years ago, and they seem to have
gone away.

Sure... (rusty memmory - thats 'gmake warn=yes' right?). This is
wiuth a cmpletely fresh checkout of GNUstep from 10 minutes ago:

In base there are comolaints that mframe hasnt been ported, followed
by these in the actual build. I know you asked for bui and back, but
i thought these might help too...

mframe.m: In function 'mframe_do_call':
mframe.m:908: warning: pointer type mismatch in conditional expression
callframe.m: In function 'callframe_do_call':
callframe.m:306: warning: pointer type mismatch in conditional expression

GSFFCallInvocation.m: In function 'GSInvocationCallback':

When compiking GNU the only warnings are:

NSTableView.m:96: warning: '__unused__' attribute ignored
NSWorkspace.m: In function '-[NSWorkspace mountedLocalVolumePaths]':
NSWorkspace.m:1573: warning: unused variable 'mgr'
GSspell.m: In function '-[GNUSpellChecker 
spellServer:findMisspelledWordInString:language:wordCount:countOnly:]':
GSspell.m:83: warning: value computed is not used

And finaly in back (using art as a backend)

GSContext.m: In function '-[GSContext(Ops) GSDrawImage::]':
GSContext.m:848: warning: passing argument 1 of 'getBitmapDataPlanes:' from 
incompatible pointer type
In file included from blit-main.m:267:

blit.m:321: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
ftfont.m:1943: warning: 'charpath_funcs' defined but not used

Nothing there looks odd to me - and it has to be said that everything
works fine under GNustep apart from TimeMon. Gorm is quite capable of
opening the TimeMon .gorm and .nib files on its own.
