cool thanks for the info.

hmm no idea _ftime is used for but sure we can track it down ;) I'm in New
Zealand chasing Kiwis at the moment but when I get back to Oz i'll work
out whats going on. That symbol is probably defined in another lib in 10.3
in which case we might need to link slightly differently - or maybe theres
a way to link universally for panther & tiger by doing something
iClever(tm)... hmm i'll have a look throught the apple dev docs.

Unfortunately not yet but will do as soon as my new years hangover
subsides...

I'm pretty new to this mac malarky and haven't really picked up on the
whole xcode thing - which is one reason why I just stuck with simple
tweaks to the sconscript. The other reason (which is in agreement with
your point) is that wherever possible i'm a big fan of the simplest method
of checkout & build across platforms - especially late at night when i'm
always dropping the ball! All i ended up changing in the sconscript was a
simple switch of some linker flags based on the os - osx just links
slightly differently to the linux target (with -framework OpenGL as
opposed to -lGL for instance). I figured that was the simplest way of
keeping everything as universal as possible but always happy to hear
others peoples opinions!

Have a great New Years y'all!
cheers,
