World: r4wp

The only references I see in the codebase are the above ifdefs (reb-config.h)

Should be defined and passed along in your makefile.

$ grep -R TO_OSX *
src/include/reb-config.h:#ifdef TO_OSXI					// OSX/Intel
src/include/reb-config.h:#ifdef TO_OSX					// OSX/PPC

in a make/makefile for osx-intel:
TO_OS?= TO_OSXI
...
RFLAGS= -c -D$(TO_OS) -DREB_API  $(RAPI_FLAGS) $I
HFLAGS= -c -D$(TO_OS) -DREB_CORE $(HOST_FLAGS) $I

hmm

oh, mine reads TO_LINUX

shouldn't make prep have set that correctly?

make make OS_ID=0.2.5

Is there a reason that this isn't autodetected?

No good reason. But that's just how the build currently works.

Okay, thanks for the tip.

To support building Rebol for old crappy platforms with stupid make.

At least that's the stated reason. There is likely a better approach.

MarcS, with mainline R3 browse doesn't currently work on OSX, right?

Right

Unless, I guess, you have XQuartz installed with xdg-open or x-www-browse

http://issue.cc/r3/1992- BROWSE doesn't work on OSX

Great.

So should I submit pull requests referencing these tickets?

Squash the two 1992-related commits into one, and also mention the 
CureCode ticket in the commit message (something like "This fixes 
CureCode issue #1992.") and submit a pull for that.

To squash I need to rebase locally then repush?

Yes, exactly (push --force).

Okay

For #1991 se need a better approach. We aren't at the point where 
we would need to disable a feature while we wait to figure it out, 
at least for something you have to explicitly call.

Hope you don't mind the cosmetics :)

Andreas: np, just testing the squashed changeset

For #1991, we should at least get the crash removed right away.

Sufficient detail, https://github.com/rebol/r3/pull/101?

Looks good.

https://github.com/rebol/r3/pull/102

Let's hope Haiku has fork/exec :)

Again, the second pull won't fly as-is.

If you can isolate the unset changes alone, that'd be great.

Np.

I figured I might as well submit the request so the code is more 
visible.

Okay, that's fine, thanks. Just to have expectations aligned :)

Meanwhile I might merge that fix into my browse-macosx branch.

Just don't push the merged branch to Github again, as this will also 
affect the pull request.

Oh, right

A third browse branch it is!

(As you might have gathered, I'm not much of a Githubber)

For NONE I see the following options to fix the crash right away: 
either remove the NONE feature altogether (removing functionality 
that currently sometimes works on Win32), or use http:// on POSIX 
(as a not totally reliable workaround), or move the early exit to 
the POSIX specific code (creating a cross-platform incompatibility 
between Win32 and POSIX platforms).

Re: Haiku, http://code.metager.de/source/xref/haiku/headers/posix/unistd.h#212

Anyway, the subtree is named 'posix' :)

Good, thanks for looking that up. I can try building on Haiku later 
on.

Great

Git question: can I ignore changes to makefile without modifying 
.gitignore?
