[Enhancement] Option to use gcc instead of AppleClang #49

Open terabyte25 opened 5 years ago

terabyte25 commented 5 years ago

In order to compile OpenMW with gcc, dependencies must be compiled with gcc as well due to linking errors and the compiler not being able to understand the argument "--stdlib"

Thanks for suggestion! My only concern is that there are some Objective-C++ files in OSG (and OpenMW itself), how well does GCC deal with Apple's Objective-C SDKs and Objective-C in general?

@nikolaykasyanov https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42308511/how-to-compile-objective-c-in-gcc I am not sure about performance; but gcc can definitely compile it.

Most of them are for iOS use I think. Unless someone wants to write an objective c++ wrapper for OpenMW to port it to iOS platforms, it won't really be of any use.

Also OpenMW does not have objective c of any kind. OSG does though.

@terabyte25 thanks!

I've played with GCC a bit and it seems to be supporting macOS-specific stuff pretty well. I'd happily accept a PR making it possible to use GCC.
