Re: DeskLib and GCCSDK

Well, I finally got back to looking at this...

I can now mostly build WinEd from source, although I've had to comment 
some code out for now to make it compile.

One oddity is that it seems to include an Error.c source file which GCC 
thinks duplicates the Error.c in DeskLib. This appears to be to allow 
WinEd to set its own error box titles, but there seems to be no way to 
get the linker to pick WinEd's Error.o over the one in DeskLib (although 
the DeskLib notes suggest that this is what should be done).

I don't suppose that you have the source to it and the associated 
DeskLib? Even the 3.20 tag from SVN references what I take to be a 
DeskLib function call (Pointer_SetPosition) which isn't in the DeskLib 
sources in SVN; it's not used in the 3.10 tag of WinEd, so it looks like 
a newish feature.

It doesn't look like a big deal to recreate, but having the original 
code would be better.

Also, the version of WinEd in SVN reports itself to be 3.21a, so 
presumably there are some other code mods that never made it into SVN.

I managed to find an address today which didn't bounce back immediately, 
so fingers crossed.
