[ODE] Undefined symbol for OSX build

[Rick Ashton]

Hmm...

Okay the error seems to be in dstest. Here's the make's full output  
for dstest:

Seems strange though since dsPrint, dsError etc. is defined in  
drawstuff.h which is included in dstest.cpp. What does the underscore  
denote? I remember this from somewhere but it slips my mind now.

Is it necessary to include the test and draw stuff as part of the  
make? Can you exclude this?

Thx
Rick
