[KDE-Darwin] Re: [Scribus] Qt/Mac port of Scribus

[Kevin Walzer]

Thanks to a patch provided by Ranger Rick, Scribus/Mac is no longer 
choking when generating the makefiles. This allows me to move a little 
further ahead into getting a working build. I've been trying a 
different approach over the past couple of days, just to see what 
happens--instead of working with the standard ./configure (which dies 
at predictable places now) or qmake -macx/qmake -macxpbuilder (which 
does funny things to the file names), I have been working with the 
KDE-Darwin's build of KDevelop 3.0 on the Mac, running natively. It 
runs reasonably fast, and more importantly, doesn't screw up the file 
names like Xcode/qmake does (foo.moc isn't changed to moc_foo.cpp). 
This allows me to get to actual issues with the code that might need to 
be addressed in porting to the Mac.

So far the three tries I've made at building tend to hang up on 
scpainter.h and scpainter.cpp, which I gather is a standard KDE 
library/component. The X11 dependencies here seem to be causing some 
problems. In an earlier build, things hung up on GC/gc (GC is used as a 
type but not defined as a type) which Martin Castobel tells me is Qt's 
X11 graphics context. I commented this line out in the scpainter.h file 
and then got these error messages:

I'm assuming that the X11 stuff referenced here is derived from 
Graphics Context. I probably need to replace this with some Mac OS 
X-specific material, but I'm not sure what. Or is this something I can 
ifdef out? I'm not real knowledgable about how to proceed on ifdef, so 
any advice is appreciated.
