[Bf-committers] OS X update to XCode 4 breaks compiling

[Dustin Martin]

Hey there,

Its true that apple is moving towards Xcode4 but at least for the time being you can still get Xcode3.  Its just you have to look for it on the Xcode4 page.  At least when I logged in I saw the link on the right side of the page.  However its safe to assume Apple has no intentions of supporting Xcode3 from here on out.  So you probably still have another year or so before Apple drops support for it all together.  

I can't imagine it being too hard so I wouldn't mind taking a crack at making it work.
