inventor fails to build on 10.5.6

[cssdev]

The inventor port fails to build on Max OS X Leopard 10.5.4, at least on my MacBook Pro. I encountered several errors:

First, bison seems much more strict, as I needed to apply a ​debian patch to SoCalcParse.y.

Next, I encountered more iconv fun:

SoText2.c++: In member function 'SbBool SoBitmapFontCache::convertToUCS(uint32_t, const SoMFString&)':
SoText2.c++:781: error: invalid conversion from 'const char**' to 'char**'
SoText2.c++:781: error:   initializing argument 2 of 'size_t libiconv(void*, char**, size_t*, char**, size_t*)'

This can be resolved by removing patches for both SoText2.c++ and SoText3.c++.

Apparently the ​10.5.2 update it removed the GLwMDrawA.h header. ​This page details some similar Leopard X11 issues getting XCode to reinstall GLw headers.

I'll update the ticket with additional findings as I move forward...

Ahh, the inclusion of GLw headers ​was a mistake on Apple's part, but that just means we'll have to find another way to work around the problem. I'll have to digest the ​contents of this post to see if we need to create a new workaround. Do we need a libGLw port consisting of:

I'm getting closer!

• added new SoCalcParse.y patch
• removed patches to SoText2.c++, SoText3.c++, and TextWrapper.c++.

I'm now down to an iconv link error:

It works! I successfully built inventor on my MacBook Pro and loaded several models into ivview. I don't know the ramifications of the changes when building on Tiger, so I don't want to delete the no-longer-used patches just yet.

Replying to css@…:

I'm now down to an iconv link error:

I resolved this link error by adding -lcharset to the localrules patch.
