Re: Mkoctfile help

[Dmitri A. Sergatskov]

I suspect that this is the problem with the default gcc compiler.
The Xcode that comes with Tiger has as a default (broken) gcc4 compiler.
You can switch default to gcc 3.3:

sudo gcc_select 3.3

You can verify the version by doing:

gcc -v

Sincerely,

Dmitri.
