How do I compile MiscTableScroll under 3.2?

It has been reported by MiscKit user Brian Glaeske that the versions of MiscTableScroll in MiscKit 1.8.0 and 1.8.1 do not compile as-is on NEXTSTEP 3.2 (or earlier, presumably). Brian's fix is to change this line from MiscTableScrollPalette.h: 

#import <apps/InterfaceBuilder.h>

with this new code: 

extern "C" {
#import <apps/InterfaceBuilder.h>
}



What other problems exist when building the kit under 3.2?

If you don't have EOF installed, you won't have the Foundation Kit. In the List palette, there is an unnecessary include of a Foundation Kit header that Don didn't notice when adding the palette to the kit, so any system without the Foundation Kit and associated headers will get stuck at that point.

Luckily, the solution is simple. Since the header isn't needed, just comment out the header include in the ListPalette.m file. The includes in the file will then look like this: 

#import "ListPalette.h"
//#import <foundation/NSArray.h>
And that's it. Everything should build normally. If you run into any other troubles not mentioned here, please submit them to Don so that workarounds may be posted here so that everyone can benefit from the information.
