I'm trying to compile using the OSX/darwin headers/libs instead of MSL in a
Carbon Mach-O target. I made /usr/include the first item in my System
Paths, with the nested folder icon toggled ON.

I could not find a project template that seemed appropriate for this
situation from which I might get more ideas about how to change my target
settings.

I get compile errors like this one as a result of including <string> from
one of my headers:

Error : undefined identifier '__builtin_strchr'
(included from:
bits/char_traits.h:45
string:47
Str.h:1
CCtlPane.c:7)
cstring line 107 { return __builtin_strchr(const_cast<const
char*>(__s1), __n); }

I seem to be unable to use either Sherlock or Find File or the freeware
EasyFind to succesfully find the string __builtin_strchr (by content) under
the /usr/include directory, in spite of the presence of that string in the
char_traits.h file as shown above.

Maybe __builtin_strchr is an XCode compiler intrinsic and CW doesn't support
it? But I was pretty sure CW didn't require using MSL.

I'm using CW 9.6 under Tiger 10.4.2 with XCode 2.1 installed.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Look in the examples folder on the reference CD. There are a bunch of
sample stationery items for using BSD C instead of MSL C.

Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't thought of that.

Unfortunately it looks like there are no samples for BSD C++, only BSD C, or
a combination of BSD C and MSL C++. It is BSD C++ that I was trying to get
to work, and I'm guessing this is just something that hasn't been worked
out.

For many various reasons CodeWarrior Compilers are not compatiable with
Darwin C++.

CodeWarrior C++ is a portable C++ implementation but the BSD is not. If
you don't want to use MSL then try one of the public C++ Libs available.

Makes sense, yes the darwin headers look horribly non-portable.

Thanks for the info. Nice to have you back.
