[clam-devel] Mac OS X: NetworkEditor not building (r14492)

[David García Garzón]

A fast workaround would be substituting CLAM_EMBEDDED_FILE uses by a const 
char * variable of the same name (first parameter of the macro) initialized to 
an empty "" string. Not sure of the runtime effects, (Xavi? any idea?) but, at 
least i will compile.

Because we are using embedded files in NetworkEditor and in many other nice 
places such as ladspa/lv2/vst plugins i guess we should find a proper solution 
for mac: finding the assembler needed in mac to embed a file into the binary. 
I have no idea of which assembler or binary format is used. I guess it is 
something related to binutils. Something to try would be forcing the use of 
one of the two existing alternatives (ELF and COFF) just to see whether by 
chance it works.

Which tool chain are you using? macports? XCode?...

David.
