Xcode fails to compile SVN

Ryand | 2012-06-02 01:39

I am running osx Lion, and have recently checked out the SVN. I tried to compile from the xcode project included, but for some reason the build fails every time. Are there special settings required? I know my SVN is fully updated and working, as when I load the files in parallels desktop the game runs (but obviously very poorly due to virtualization, hence the need for a mac build). Any feedback is appreciated! Oh, by the way, the failure was as follows: Apple Mach-O (ld) error, Command /Developer/usr/bin/llvm-g++-4.2 failed with exit code 1.

Go into the build settings, and change the base SDK to 10.6 and the c/c++ compiler to GCC 4.2. If that doesnt work, try all the compiler options, then make sure that it has the correct Architecture for your computer (ppc to intel, if it is set at ppc).

Thanks for the tips, unfortunately, it seems after trying every possible combination of build settings, it still fails. I guess I'll just wait for the official release...darn. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to reply!

Have a nice day! -Ryand

Can you take a screenshot of the error? (command-shift-4, it will save the image to your desktop). After changing the build settings did you get the same error each time? Or did it change to something like having the incorrect SDL libraries?

Been there years ago, solution: Don't buy apple computers.

Oh my, the age old argument. Personally, I believe that windows machines are great. There's a reason I spent about 200 dollars getting a virtualization setup on my computer, and that is that I think windows rocks! However, I did need to get a macintosh for schooling purposes, so that's what I'm working with...sorry.

I don't understand this whole school-and-macs things that's going on..

Ryand | 2012-06-03 02:22

Haha, neither do I, I just do what the teachers say :P

I believe the schools get discounts or something, as my school has over 90 32GB ipod touches and over 30 macbooks. wtf.

Khorne | 2012-06-26 04:35

haha thats a small amount compared to my school, 1800 students 300 macbooks, 80 i-macs, and about a billion mini macs. 10 ipod touches. seriously its getting stupid however i like how all of the mac computers are duel booted with windows xD

Yes, here is the screenshot. I tried messing with 32bit and 64 bit builds as well, but it seemed to have no effect. It tells me I have "depreciated" files, and that there is a Mach-O error every time. I attached a photo, but it might not be the view you wanted HeWho...So tell me if i need to take another!
Have a nice day! -Ryand

Change the Compiler to GCC 4.2 (no LLVM).

I've never compiled Sauerbraten SVN on OSX but it should be pretty similar to compiling Red Eclipse which I have done.

I had a lot of trouble getting all the right dependencies in the right places and the wiki wasn't filled in for OSX so when I got it working, I contributed the instructions that are there now.

See whether they help.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and am running XCode 3.2.6. Attempting to compile SVN fails for me as well out of the box. This isn't quite the same environment, but in case it helps, this is how I fixed it.

Download the Justice Edition and examine the source directory, in particular src/xcode/Frameworks. Note the file src/xcode/Frameworks/version.txt. Read it. ;) To summarize, SVN has an out-of-date set of SDL frameworks.

To fix, simply replace src/xcode/Frameworks in SVN with src/xcode/Frameworks from Justice Edition. I didn't need to make any other changes.

Now, Lion and Mountain Lion eliminated PowerPC compatibility (eg. Rosetta). I suspect some of the Sauerbraten xcode project settings that maintain compatibility with PowerPC are also getting in the way of your compile.

So, open the info panel for the project by right-clicking on the top sauerbraten folder in the Groups & Files panel and select Get Info. In the resulting Info panel select the Build tab.

In the build tab you'll see a long list of settings. Note for example Valid Architectures. Try eliminating ppc, ppc64, ppc7400, and ppc970 from that list. Also, you could try fiddling with the Base SDK setting. I know things compile for Mac OS X 10.6. If it's set to 10.7, try setting it back to 10.6.

Lastly, the src/xcode/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib is a compiled nib. This is a problem. The maintainer needs to replace this with an uncompiled nib. Otherwise it cannot be edited. A workaround is to again replace it with the equivalent in Justice Edition.

I have the justice edition, but i am getting errors :(. I even tried "Cleaning" Them, still errors! Here is a screen shot, hoping you guys can help. This is just SOME of the errors, I assume this is all you need, not very skilled with this C++ or w/e it is ^_^. Just playing with fire is all.

If the link didn't work: http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t406/fetzjr/Picture1.png

(I am using xCode 2.5 with OS X Tiger 10.4.11)

Love,

"...C++ or w/e it is..."

*facepalm*

Maybe that's why you shouldn't be playing with fire, it burns.

HeWho | 2012-11-11 21:27

Short Answer: your version of Xcode is too old. Maybe through lots of blood, sweat, and tears we could get a nice working version, but it would probably not be worth it, because (I assume that you are using a PPC? Because if you aren't, then I have no idea why you are still using OSX 10.4.11) the PPC you are running on would run it very slowly, at max probably 60fps with lots of random lag and bad graphics (I have a ppc that I run Sauerbraten on sometimes, and it is a _bad_ experience).

Accualy i am learning C++, so i LOVE editing source code, since this is a hell-a lot easier than starting from scratch. Is the project bugged? What is wrong with it?

It's a Mac.
