Forums

I tried compiling the current svn trunk revision (r2881) on Mac OS 10.5.8. Initially, I had Xcode 3.1.3, 10.4 Universal SDK and the X11 SDK installed, as requested in the wiki. As compiling failed, I uninstalled/deleted Xcode according to the pdf that comes with the Apple developer tools and reinstalled it over and over again, also trying versions 2.2.1 and 2.5. I also reinstalled X11 SDK several times (after deleting /Library/Receipts/boms/com.apple.pkg.X11SDKLeo.bom as it suggest in some other forum on the Internet), as well as gcc. In all cases, the errors occurring remained the same. [1]

I also tried compiling the 2010-06-30 release, trying the above mentioned configurations. It did not work either, yet producing another error [2]. There probably is something wrong with my configuration, but I have no idea what it might be. I have to admit that I do not have much experience in compiling, in particular under Mac OS. I searched this forum, but couldn't find anything helping me in that respect. So, any help/hint/etc. is greatly appreciated.

[1] The error occurring when trying to compile trunk revision 2881:
First, the following error occurred:




Since this error only seems to be occurring in a debug output, I just commented the line out, which worked for compiling, but reveals new errors on linking:




[2] The following error occurs when trying to compile the 2010-06-30 release:

Exclude sky.cpp from project and try again.

You have to update the project file. Add new headers and source files, remove non-existing. Exclude sky.cpp.

Thanks for the help!

Excluding sky.cpp and sky.h gets me further, compiling works but now linking produces the following error [1]. I also tried excluding cardynamics.cpp /~.h, but these are then missed by quite many others. Do you have any further suggestions?

With regard to the current revision (by now its r2882), after excluding sky.cpp and sky.h as well as updating the project with with respect to new headers and sources, an error is raised on compiling the httpget source complaining about not finding asio headers.
When also excluding httpget.cpp and ~.hpp, another error is raised [2]. I tried excluding soundbuffer.cpp and ~.hpp, but then these files are missed on linking, see [3]. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

[1] The error produced by the 2010-06-30 release:




[2] Error for r2882:



[3] r2882 error after excluding soundbuffer:

Don't exclude any other source files. It is only sky that is broken(compile errors).

Vdrift has some external dependencies like SDL, Ogg, Asio. That is where you get the linker errors from. I am not sure how this is handled on Mac Os. The wiki says you need to install "Universal SDK" and the "X11 SDK".

you won't get the releases to compile on the mac easily since they are only fixed to work on the mac after-the-fact.

regarding trunk, try out revision 2884.

EDIT: and don't use archaic Xcode versions like 2.x. use the latest one that runs on your OS.

Ok, that's good to know!

I tried revision 2884. Same error on linking (i.e., missing asio headers in httpget.cpp).

Next, I reinstalled Xcode, now I am at version 3.1.4, the latest for MacOS 10.5. Also reinstalled X11SDK. I also installed boost using MacPorts (freshly installed), and added the headers to the include path.
Then, I get the following error [1]. I'm not quite sure where it originates from, but maybe someone has an idea. I guess some of you already succeeded compiling VDrift on Mac.

Thanks again!


[1] Error occurring on adding boost path to includes (I shortened it a bit, to ease readability, I hope you get the idea):

>missing asio headers in httpget.cpp

if httpget is in your project, you didnt do a clean checkout.
EDIT: meaning, since you changed the project a "svn update" didn't update the project.

> X11SDK

this hasn't been needed for compiling for some time now, someone update the wiki pls


> also installed boost using MacPorts (freshly installed)

there is no dependency on boost (yet)

> and added the headers to the include path.

don't ;-)

Thanks, that helped!

I did a new checkout of r2884, which however still downloaded httpget. But after adding all files except for httpget and sky to the project and removing non-existing, it completes compiling.
EDIT: I also commented out the one errorous line in cartransmission.h

The game also starts. However, when I try to start a single race for example I can see the load screen, but after the bar is full, the game just goes back to the race selection screen...

I checked out the latest version of the data repository. I also noted that no rotating thumbnail images of the selected cars are shown in the race selection screen (I think I remeber seeing them in an earlier version running on an Ubuntu machine). Maybe this is somehow related?
EDIT2: Ok, I figured out how to get to see the verbose. It really seems to be related to the car textures:

I am messing around with vdrift-data atm. Make sure you've got the latest code/data revision.

yeah i don't know why broken files must be kept in trunk either

jfras Wrote:But after adding all files except for httpget and sky to the project and removing non-existing, it completes compiling.

huh? although the file is downloaded it isn't in the xcode project so you shouldn't have to add to or remove anything from the project.

If I leave the xcode project unchanged, it misses Soundbuffer or sprite2d for example...

i can't reproduce these problems here. SOUNDBUFFER is defined in sound.cpp which is in the project and sprit2d is header only...

That is strange. In r2884 these were not in the project for me. But, I guess the important thing is that it works. One just has to make sure these files are included in the project, whether it's by default or not..

i still dont know what *files* you are actually referring to with "these".

When I download the xcode project file at revision 2884, the following files are not in the project (additionally to httpget and sky, which should be exlucded):

- cartire.cpp
- cartireinfo.cpp / ~.h
- loadingscreen.cpp
- manager.h
- soundbuffer.cpp / ~.h
- soundfilter.cpp / ~.h
- soundinfo.h
- soundsource.cpp / ~.h
- sprite2d.cpp

If I do not add the files listed above to the xcode project, the build fails during linking. In detail it complains about the stuff listed in [1].

However, if I include all these files listed above, building completes without errors.

Are these files actually in your project by default?
