Hi there,
I am running into problems with ViewGif2 on a '030 NeXT running Mach 2.0.
I got the source code from my brother who apparently was able to get this up
and running without any problems. I believe our C compiler is GCC, but I am
not enough of a C expert to figure out how to solve the problem (see the make
log bewlow). I have another GIF viewer, but it's old and ties up my terminal
when I have it running (i.e., I need to open another widow if I want to do
something else). Would anyone know how to fix this problem, or would anyone
know where I can get a decent GIF viewer ? Thank You !
- John
P.S.
We have anonymous ftp on our NeXTs, which are watnxtN.ucr.edu, N = 1,2,3.
Please feel free to use it, and leave the code in /pub. Thanks !

make ViewGif2 "OFILE_DIR = obj" "CFLAGS = -O -g -Wimplicit"

Hello,
I would like to thank everyone for their help with getting ViewGif to
run under Mach 2.0 on our '030. In particular, I would like to thank:
sutter@ozone.usc.edu (Carl Sutter)
for the following advice and for the working version of ViewGif2:
>The source for ViewGif2 was written for NeXT OS Release 1.x. It will
>not compile under other OS Releases (such as 2.0), and I have not had
>the time to update it. I can, however, send you a binary version
>which will run under 2.0
and
cnh5730@maraba.tamu.edu (Charles N. Herrick)
for other neat GIF viewers. All I had to do was uudecode and off they went !
I also would like to thank:
Julie_Zelenski@next.com
for the following advice re.: Mach 2.0:
>Deleted Function Pointers
>The _poseAs, _cvtToSel, and _cvtToId function pointers are no
>longer supported. Equivalent functionality can be obtained by
>using the class_poseAs(), sel_getUid(), and objc_getClass()
>functions.
and:
Matthew L. Demsey <mldemsey@cs.arizona.edu>
for a warning about:
>i'm also trying to port this up to NS2.0 - even after you
>fix that problem, there will be errors in ViewBitmap and one other
>segment.
Also,
declan@remus.rutgers.edu (Declan McCullagh/LZ)
offered the following, simple solution:
>I had the same problem you did compiling ViewGIF2 under NeXTstep 2.0.
>My solution? Instead of playing around with compiler directives and
>changing the makefile, I cheated and snarfed a copy that was compiled
>under 1.0. It works fine.
I also received some requests for the above programs and, if there are
no objections from either the authors or people who sent them to me in the
first place, I could (1) either post them here or (2) send them directly to
people who requested them. By the way, is there a repository of NeXT
binaries similar to comp.ibm.pc.bin or an archiver similar to simtel20
where one may place such source and/or binaries for other people to use ?
Thanks once again for all the generous help !

The version I have is 1.0 dated March 1990. In fact, I modified it with Interface Builder to have a different icon and different document icons. (I used the icons from the NextGIF program). Really a nice program! I've been using it without any problems.
