Building on Leopard. SDL problem.

Post by xxryan9559xx »

I recently got an iMac with OS X leopard(10.5). When I try to use Xcode 3.0 or a command line to build it, I get errors about SDL. I put it in both frameworks folder, /Library/Frameworks and /System/Library/Frameworks. OS X says its installed, but BZFlag can't find it. If I use the prebuilt .app from the DMG it works fine. Any ideas on whats wrong?

You need the development version of SDL. Check if you have sdl-config installed. Last time I checked SDL wasn't building in 10.5 so I ended up with modifying SDL to build.

Probably a package manager like macports will be able to build you a working version of SDL with sdl-config.

The following text will only apply if you're trying to build the trunk version of BZFlag:
After you solved the SDL problem your compiler will fail to build ftgl. I don't know whether there is a working version of ftgl out there, last time I checked I couldn't find one.

If you get the thing to work you'll be faced with the currupted game protocol. Clients can not join a server yet, until it is fixed.

configure: WARNING: Client build has been requested, but GL is not fully available (missing gl.h)
     ... disabling client generation

Both the SDL framework and the OpenGL framework were not found, but other "regular" libraries were. Is there something wrong with the configure script preventing it from finding frameworks? If I remember correctly, bzflag/trunk was able to find both SDl.framework and OpenGL.framework without installing SDL-Devel or sdl-config - only the regular SDL and OpenGL frameworks were installed.

Code: Select all

devindelong$ sdl-config --version
1.2.13
SDL version is greater than 1.2.5.


SDL-Devel Readme:

Code: Select all

This package contains:
- SDL API Documentation
- A variety of SDLMain and .Nib files to choose from
- Xcode/Project Builder project templates
Are these really necessary for bzflag to build? Doesn't bzflag have its own SDLMain?


I've been disabling sdl and the bzflag client so that plug-ins can still be built.

In config.log, this seems to be a common error: "ld: cycle in dylib re-exports with /usr/X11/lib/libGL.dylib."

BTW, Apple's X11 now uses X.org: "X11.app 2.0 - X.org X11R7.2." In past OS versions I believe Xfree86 was used.

So these programs are actually compiling but failing during the link phase, and they all have the same dumb error. As Adam from MythBusters would say, "well there's your problem!"

Apparently a lot of open source packages are having this problem, and it is due to a bug in leopard's developer tools. A lot of people have suggested using LDFLAGS="-dylib_file/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib". This isn't working for me though.

I used this to build BZFlag:
export LDFLAGS=${LDFLAGS}-L/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries

I don't know whether this will work for you.

Holy cow! I think hell is a cold place right now; it seemed like a workaround for this problem didn't exist for a long time.

Code: Select all

BZFlag-2.0.11.20080119 with the following:
     curses: -lncurses
     SDL
     bzadmin
     bzflag client
