Trouble building unix VM for OSX

Alan Sibley
Hey folks,

I'm trying to build the latest unix/osx from svn rev. 1290.
I think I have the latest VMMaker (2.8b5-64B).

I'm compiling but not linking... missing sqGetFilenameFromString.
It's referenced from ioFilenamefromStringofLengthresolveAliases in  
interp.c.
I grepped around and didn't find it... heeeeelp ;)

Thanks in advance,
Alan

This is a function that is not yet fully implemented in the
platforms sources. When building a Linux VM, I added the
following as a workaround (I don't know if this will work
for OS X):

/* A default implementation for unix */
sqInt sqGetFilenameFromString(char *aCharBuffer, char *aFilenameString,
    sqInt filenameLength, sqInt aBoolean) {
  strncpy(aCharBuffer, aFilenameString, filenameLength);
  aCharBuffer[filenameLength] = 0;
}

Well that will work but it's not correct because you are taking an  
macroman character based  file path, and saying it's a UTF-8  
character set based file name.
Those are not the same.

As long as you use generic a-z,0-9 etc in your file names you find it  
will work. However an "å"  or other more interesting character would  
cause disaster.

I *THINK* it's this routine in sqUnixCharConv.c  you need to use  
instead of doing the strncpy.



void sqFilenameFromString(char *uxName, sqInt sqNameIndex, int  
sqNameLength)
{
   /*xxx BUG: lots of code generate from the image assumes 1000 chars  
max path len */
   sq2uxPath(pointerForOop(sqNameIndex), sqNameLength, uxName, 1000, 1);
}


Or maybe it's the
sq2uxPath(sqNameIndex, sqNameLength, uxName, 1000, 1);
since I don't know what pointerForOop(sqNameIndex)  does, it that a  
cast, or is it getting a pointer from sqNameIndex because it's  an oops?
