Error compiling SDL and BZFlag on Mac OS X.5

[the panda next door]

I'm running Mac OS 10.5 and I have Xcode 3.0.

When I try to compile SDL 1.2.10 and 1.2.13 with the following commands:

Code: Select all

cd SDL-1.2.10
./configure --prefix=/Users/<myname>/local 
make
make install
tar xzf XCode.tar.gz 
cd XCode/SDL
xcodebuild
ditto build/Default/SDL.framework /Library/Frameworks

I get tons of errors. Starting on 'make.'
These commands work fine on my 10.4 mac.

Is there a different way to compile SDL on leopard?


]I also get many errors when trying to compile bzfs.
This also worked on my 10.4 mac.

Is there anything I'm missing?
What is the problem?
If there is a breakthrough, please tell me.

You know, we can't read minds. What errors are you getting? A pastebin would be a good place to put them, and then place a link back here.

The errors for make are on this page:

You don't need to compile SDL. Download the framework, install it in your system frameworks directory, and try compiling again.

Do I install SDL.framework in ~/Frameworks, /System/Library/Frameworks, or /Library/Frameworks?:arrow:


I've tried putting SDL.Framework ( the one I downloaded ) in /Library/Frameworks, but when I run configure, it says it cannot find the sdl-config script.

When I download SDL, is there a way to set the SDL prefix? On my 10.4 computer where I compiled SDL, I set the prefix to ~/local, and I found a script in ~/local/bin called sdl-config.

It doesn't belong to /System/Library/Frameworks for sure.

I've put mine in /Library/Frameworks but ~/Frameworks is perhaps (I am not sure) also ok.

sdl-config is not part of the framework - I got that script with installing SDL through macports.

As you seem to have already sdl-config you need to append it to your PATH environment variable. How to do that depends on your shell. For bash you could execute "export PATH=${PATH}:~/local/bin". If you want to store it permanent make a file called ".profile" in ~/ and write it inside, then it's set up every time you will start bash again but doesn't change the current bash session.

If you do it right then you can call sdl-config also from the command line, e.g.

Code: Select all

Morpheus:~ ts$ sdl-config --version
1.2.13
