[Xquartz-dev] Compile error in X11Application.m

6 Nov 2020

      Hi all,

  I was getting the following error when compiling quartz under Xcode 12.01GM

X11Application.m:412:17: error: use of undeclared identifier '_appFlags'
                _appFlags._active = YES;

The fix I applied was from the runtime headers I found here:  https://github.com/mstg/OSX-Runtime-Headers/blob/master/AppKit/NSApplication...

diff X11Application.h X11Application.h.orig                             (tags/XQuartz-2.7.11)xorg-server

The file X11Application.h seems to have been created for this purpose, but does not need to know everything about NSApplication and while there are many deprecated warning during the compile of the corresponding .m file, Xquartz now builds and appears to work without some crashes I was seeing.

I hope this helps someone.

Take care,
