[Ipe-discuss] Trouble compiling ipe on OSX 10.5 (Leopard)

[Norbert Zeh]

The problem is the section in include/ipebase.h that defines uint.  It  
normally starts with #ifdef WIN32, making it visible only on windows,  
presumably because Linux (and FreeBSD?) already has is definitions of  
these types in standard include files.  MacOS, as Windows, doesn't.   
The fix is easy:  Change line 46 of ipebase.h from

#ifdef WIN32

to

#if defined(WIN32) || defined(__APPLE__)

and things will compile just fine.  (I believe this was the only tweak  
necessary to make it compile on Leopard.)

Cheers,
Norbert
