Anyone offering precompiled binaries of latest (or recent) s

[Dominus]

About the snapshot, for a moment (an hour or maybe a bit more) I had a faulty snapshot online, that had a dynamic built of the PPC part. Just maybe you grabbed that one. Please give me the date of the exult.app in the dmg.

About your other problems... no idea what's going wrong there. Did you export CXXFLAGS as well?
Otherwise I'm just going to blame it on Fink

[monotremata]

Yeah I did the CXXFLAGS too.. I think Im gonna put em in my .profile just to be sure and Ill give it one more go hehe. No clue why all of a sudden its crapping out on me.. Files are all there (they actually live inside the Exult folder) so Im stumped hehe.

As for the snapshot.. Date on the app is April 19, 2010 6:42am.

[monotremata]

Just grabbed the newest snapshot btw that you were uploading as I typed that reply haha!

[Dominus]

and is that snapshot working?

The 6:42 sounds like you really may have gotten the bad one (at least I hope so)

[monotremata]

Damn nope same error and everything in the console..

Does anybody out there still run 10.4 that could try it out??
I wonder if this has to do with 10.4 and some trouble it has with linking..
I ran into it earlier in the thread trying to do the original static compiles you came up with but those were related to a particular version of X-Code and I wouldnt think X-Code has anything to do with a binary that was compiled elsewhere..

Maybe its time for 10.4 to die.. I know it got dropped in the last updates for a couple of audio plugins I own.. Time to sell some blood or something for an intel mac hehe..

One last thingy I just noticed before Im off in regards to me compiling it...

During configure, heres the lines regarding the png.h file:

checking png.h usability... yes
checking png.h presence... no
configure: WARNING: png.h: accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor!
configure: WARNING: png.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
checking for png.h... yes


Only thing I can think of is maybe Fink's libpng is screwed up.
I just removed my entire Fink /sw directory to the trash for now, and changed the export CFLAGS stuff in my .profile to use my Macports stuff now.

I noticed my earlier compiles (using Fink's libtool) I had ALOT of wierd messages that popped up during autogen.sh that werent there this time. Looks like Macports went back and used glibtool that comes with Mac OS.

Although it did give me the same errors regarding png.h up above, maybe this will do the trick.
Just started compiling so well see how that goes, its on the scalers now..

[Dominus]

We changed autogen.sh to accept glibtool, also some error about missing gconf (not needed unless you want exult studio). Macports doesn't use apple's glibtool.


Does the snapshot work? Couldn't tell from your reply.

[monotremata]

Oh sorry I snuck it in at the bottom hehe.
No Im getting the same error still.

[Dominus]

I'm away over the weekend, but when I'm back I'd like to try something.
I can send you a "heavy-gdb-debug" enabled static ppc built and you can run itunder macports gdb and give me feedback where it hangs.
If that email address of yours is still the correct one (the one when you click on your name here) I'll send it to that address.
I also have a vague idea on something else that changed and might cause the crash...

And I'm really curios, under the Rosetta emulation, the ppc built runs fine on both mine and my GF's mac (which is kept "clean" without any development stuff/libs/etc..).
What I noticed is that the exult ppc built loads /usr/lib/libz.1.2.3.dylib which I think is tied into the the rosetta emulation under 10.6, since it doesn't do that on my 10.5. And since I build with zlip 1.2.4 this just might disrupt it on your end...

[Dominus]

My build stuff is weird right now as well. No idea why...

Anyway I managed to get a gdb enabled ppc built at http://exult.info/snapshots/exult-ppc-debug.zip
Can you try this?
You need to install gdb via macports, then run on the terminal
"gdb exult-ppc-debug"
to start it then enter
"run"
when it crashes, enter "bt" and post the complete output of the terminal.

Note, this needs you to extract the /data folder of the last snapshot and place it under /library/application support/exult.


Edit: can you also try http://exult.info/snapshots/exult-ppc.zip? this is without debug symbols and compiled against the 10.5 SDK, thus should fail for you, but I'd like to know anyway

I'm freezing this thread and opening a new one, it's getting way tooo big
