Let's rip it out and modify it locally.   They are diverging.

Hi everyone,

In investigating whether or not Steve's changes still leave the ICC build broken on Mac OS X, I installed ICC on my box which runs leopard. Unfortunately my change to SCIRun in Core/Thread/ Thread_pthreads.cc checks for a predefined macro which Apple's GCC defines (__ENVIRONMENT_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED__ = 1050) but ICC (even for leopard) does not.

This brings up the question of what we'll do with the SCIRun code included by Manta. One simple fix is to turn the APPLE_LEOPARD CMake flag that Manta discovers down to SCIRun and add a definition for this value. Another is to copy the CMake logic into the SCIRun/ include/sci_defs/CMakeLists file. More interestingly, IIRC the SCIRun copy we have checked out is not the actively maintained version that now heavily uses CMake.

So the question is, should we keep updating the SCIRun code (which might point into an old tree), try to use the new SCIRun codebase, or rip it out of the external project and modify it locally?

James, Steve, or others, would you care to comment on this?

Solomon
