mac ox x 10.4.11 xcodebuild fails because:

[peerappel]

Hi, just tried to compile bzflag-2.0.10

Im using the newest xcode possible for my version.
this is what i did:

Downloaded SDL.Framework and putted in: Users/<my-user-name>/libery/Frameworks/SDL.framework

CD bzflag-2.0.10 <--Source
./autogen.sh
./configure
xcodebuild

Xcodebuild Failed:

configure: WARNING: could not find an appropriate SDL version. BZflag will build without SDL

What should i do? Anyone suggestions? (running max os x PPC 10.4.11)

Just a question, why build 2.0.10 when you can get a good pre-built one? how about a 2.0.12 or something?

[peerappel]

Because 2.0.12 is a source for linux xD? (i dont know im not good with that stuff)

[zaphod]

why compiling? just download a client!
all the "hard" work is done and they are ready to use!
and most of all :: they are official !!!

Agree, but it makes me feel good to do that. I'm also want to learn how to edit graphics etc, that would be nice aint? And i got to start somewhere and u never come far if u can't even compile, but anyone suggestions how ill fix this error?

2.0.12 was released to fix bugs in the build system for linux specifically, but that doesn't mean it's only for linux.

Anyway, the issue is that your 'sdl-config' application cannot be found by our configuration script. Try to run that command in a terminal and see if that works. If not, then you'll have to locate that file and add the directory it's in to your PATH environment variable, or set the variable SDL_CONFIG variable to the full path to that binary file (sdl-config). So.. basically what the error you got said.

I'm new at those things and commands, i ran SDL-config, but then it says command not found.
I don't know any commands xD. Could you tell me how i'll make a path xD? Or just tell me how to command looks like.

Mac OS X frameworks do not have an sdl-config.

Code: Select all

checking for SDL framework... no
checking for sdl-config... no
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.5... no

So, configure tries to find the framework first, then it tries sdl-config. If it finds the framework, does configure still try to find sdl-config? It doesn't seem to make sense to do that. This shouldn't make a difference, but maybe try moving the SDL framework to /library/frameworks. If this fails, look at config.log to see more details describing why it can't find SDL.

If you really want sdl-config, you have to either compile SDL, building the normal Unix library, or use a package manager to do it for you. There are two different ways you can install SDL on a Mac:

Code: Select all

libsdl @1.2.13 (devel, multimedia)
    Cross-platform multi-media development API

libsdl-framework @1.2.13 (devel, multimedia)
    Cross-platform multi-media development API

But this is the hard way. The easy way is to just not bother building BZFlag, at least until the 3.0 release.

Well, bzflag 3.0 will take a while. So i keep continue, trying xD

BZFlag uses OpenGL. Look for OpenGL tutorials as these are much easier. These have less dependencies, smaller code and no need to search that much in the code (BZFlag uses OpenGL all over the place). Same applies to c++ tutorials.

Regarding the problem you encountered make sure you have sdl-config on your system and in your PATH. I set that variable in my ".profile" the following way: "export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH". Please note my sdl-config is in "/opt/local/bin" and the correct path on your system depends on where you installed it. Building the v2_0branch BZFlag client without libsdl fails using Mac OS X.

try this. it's worth a try.
Get a new copy of source.
sh autogen.sh
./configure
double-click the file named BZFlag.xcodeproj
in XCode, set "Active Build Configuration" for "development"
Click build

xcode runs the configure script again, but you need to run it once from the terminal first.
