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" cc -O -g -Wimplicit -c Animator.m -o obj/Animator.o Animator.m: In method `setAction:' Animator.m:162: `_cvtToSel' undeclared (first use this function) Animator.m:162: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once Animator.m:162: for each function it appears in.) *** Exit 1 Stop. *** Exit 1 Stop.

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 ! - John

In particular, I would like to thank: > That's strange. I compiled ViewGif2 on one of the NeXTstations on campus about three weeks ago without any problems. 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.
