hi,

I translated the objective-c runtime headers. Those headers are the core connection to objective-c and necessary to bind directly to any objective-c library, such as Cocoa. The objective-c runtime API provided by Apple is unique to Mac OS X. On other platforms there is a similar API, but there is no guarantee that they are compatible, so this should only be compiled for Mac OS X.

Where should this be placed on the free pascal sources?

packages/extra/objc ?

or on base?

thanks

I think FPC svn is the wrong place as primary repository for this, they should be added to the Common Pascal Interfaces svn (just like the universal interfaces) so they can also be easily used and enhanced by the people working on the GPC-compatible versions of the headers. Peter N Lewis on the mac-pascal list is the administrator of that repository.

But they also need to be added to the fpc subversion. How do you synchronize both then?

Manually, just like the rest of the interfaces. Adding them first to the common pascal interfaces svn is mainly symbolic, to make it clear that is the "master" repository (and so that the GPC people can immediately start testing and working on it as well, without running the risk that the version they are using has been updated/changed already in the fpc repository in the mean time).

Because I already posted this quite some time ago on the mac-pascal mailling list, I am not confident on a quick answer about getting access to the interfaces svn.

And because tomorrow I will be traveling for 2 weeks, without my computer, I propose that I just put it on fpc and you can then copy it to the interfaces svn, or else the headers will be inaccessible in this period.

If it's ok, where should it be put?

thanks,

I sent him an e-mail 1 month ago without answer.

So, I can't put the bindings on fpc because they need to be put on the interfaces subversion first. But I can't put it on the interfaces subversion because I have no write access.

It seams like a deadlock =)

seriously ... can I just e-mail them to you so you can add them to the correct places?

thanks,

I did receive an answer from Peter. I will forward it by private email.
