Porting the DC++ Core to OS X using XCode
Hey all. For those of us who use DC (Direct Connect) we all know how annoying it is when you're kicked out of a hub for not having DC++ versus NMDC, or Neo Modus Direct Connect, which is less prefered. There isn't a real DC++ for Mac OS X, though some started to port one and hasn't finished (yet).
Below:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/displa...group_id=99171
is a guide that shows the developer how to port/compile the core of DC++ to OS X using XCode. I've tried to do it but I couldn't get very far. They say that the WINDOWS directory (which contains the GUI code) is hard to port. The dir they use there is the CLIENT dir. Can anyone shed some light on this? Maybe I'll muck around with it and I'll make my own GUI for it if I can. Thanks.

You should be asking this question to the sourceforge team working on the project. I am learning Objective C and I think I have reached a stage where I can play with x-Code. But I have no clue of what DC is to even bother trying to make it work.
Well that's the reason why I'm asking for help here. The person/people that were working on it "temporarily discontinued it". Can anyone figure it out?
Alternatively, I think there is an active newsgroup for Objective C in comp.lang .
I hope that helps.
In any case, I spent a good few hours yesterday trying to get STLport to build on XCode 1.1 with no success. Apple needs to do much more to adhere to GNU compiler standards (at least for C++).
Again on a note, it would be good to go with the current trunk of DC++ instead of an obselete version for the port. Oh well, lets see. It beats playing XIII demo.
here is a promising DC client
