The Mac OS X 10.3 build is still dying here. There hasn't been a 10.3 fix for many weeks. Could this be fixed? It could be done with an #ifdef for Mac OS X 10.3 alone, at the very least. Then we'd have Pd-extended builds on 10.3 again.
so i have made the code conditional ("#ifdef __GNUC__ < 4")
apart from that, wouldn't it be a good idea, to have the nightly builds be a bit more tolerant to build-failures? e.g. compile the submodules (libraries) with the "-k" flag; this would allow to have nightly builds with the libraries missing, that failed to install (but nevertheless there would be a nightly build)
Yes, it should work a lot better, but that takes more work that just make -k unfortunately. I don't think setting the auto-build scripts to use make -k would be a good idea because then it would be quite hard to find the errors.
Instead, I think we should setup BuiltBot:
http://buildbot.sourceforge.net/
That will take quite a bit of work, but I think would be very useful. It will try building everything on a schedule, plus it'll build anything that was just checked into CVS, then email the person who made that checkin if there was an error.
But that will also take a lot of work on the Pd build system to make it work like that.
