Exult Forum

Evening all,

Has anyone built the latest Exult snapshot from the sources under OSX?

Mine is erroring with on the ./configure:

./configure: line 24350: syntax error near unexpected token `$SDL_VERSION,'
./configure: line 24350: `AM_PATH_SDL($SDL_VERSION,'

I'm guessing its the SDL libs?? I have copied the SDL 1.2.11 framework folder to my /Library/Framework folder

Anyone got the binary built and can email or "yousendit.com" to me?

Thanks,

Rob

Any ideas on my building problem under OSX?

Sup, I can successfully make on OS X, but I can't give you the binary b/c the way it creates the binary on OS X is a little flakey...it creates hardlinks, so it won't work on other people's computers.

some questions before I can help you though:
(1) Are you compiling on an Intel computer or a PPC computer? (i.e. is your computer running the new DualCore chip or the old PPC chip?)

(2) Did you use fink to install the sdl packages? According to the readme, you need to install 4 packages. If you install them manually, then you need to be sure that you're installing ALL 4 packages. If you have fink installed on your computer already, you only need to run the following 4 commands:
fink install sdl
fink install sdl-mixer
fink install automake1.9
fink install libtool14

(3) If you look closely at your output, you notice that the error is that there is no "Makefile.in" file being created. I believe this is supposed to be created when you run .autogen.sh As a result, I'm guessing that you don't have automake1.9 installed. But that's a complete and total guess without more information from you as to what exactly you did in order to prepare for this installation.


Mar

Thanks for the reply Andrew.

Yep I'm running Intel processor. I orignally used the darwin ports to install the packages but it look like fink is a load easier. Just installed via fink the packages that you say. Seemed to install fine no errors.

I can now configure and when I run the make I get to this part:

Is that something to do with the libtools?

Rob

Rob,

Looks like it wanting "libvorbis" ... I know little to nothing about Macs...but that much is clear. So...find the "Ogg Vorbis" library and you should be set.

niceone.

Got it compiled. Wohoo!

Not sure why it was asking for all the libraries seperatly? I installed the pacakges that were in the readme. Strange anyhow its compiled.

Last question. To make the "user friendly" finder launchable file. OSX binary.

Readme says:

"This will give you a "exult" binary in the current directory. If you want
a nice Exult.app (double clickable from the Finder and all), enter this
command:
make Exult_app

I get:

MACBOOK-ROB:/Users/rcraig/Desktop/exult root# make Exult_app
make: *** No rule to make target `Exult_app'. Stop.

Thanks,

Rob

Glad you got it compiled!

Hmm...I don't see the Exult_app target off hand...guess you'll have to wait for Someone Who Knows(tm) to show up

Hey Rob,
Awesome! Doesn't it feel great to get a problem solved after so much trial? Unfortunately, the docs are wrong. You don't type "make Exult_app" you're supposed to type "make bundle." I created a bug-report on this issue, but apparently they haven't fixed the documentation yet.

Also, if you want to run mods, you will probably have to edit the Configuration.cc file the way I described in the bug tracker discussion below.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=102335

Remember, if you use mods then the directory "mods" MUST be in lower-case.

Have fun!

Mar

Oh yeah, almost forgot, the Configuration.cc file is found in the /conf directory where your exult CVS files are installed.

Don't edit the Configuration.cc file unless you have to. I only had to do it because I kept getting the error:
Description missing!
WRONG EXULT VERSION

But I'm running Exult on a PPC Macintosh. The error might not occur on an Intel Mac.

Mar,

I see the "bundle" target. I've updated the MacOSX readme to reflect that change. I'll make a comment on the bug if I can find it on sourceforge I don't think I have the power to close it though.

Thanks!

Mar,

I can't seem to find the documentation bug report ... can you provide a link?

Thanks!

The documentation bug report? Sorry, I just lumped all my grievances into one report. Sorry, I probably should have separated them.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=102335

I just included a paragraph at the bottom saying:
"Oh, on a side issue, the README.MacOSX should be changed to tell the user
to "make bundle" instead of "make Exult_app." Also, it should probably
give instructions that to install the specific fink packages, you need to
use the terminology "fink install " Took me a bit of time to
figure that stuff out."

Ahh ok. I added a comment. I'm not comfortable with inserting code / making changes on a platform that I cannot test on, otherwise I'd fix that bug myself.
