Compiling SVN under mac osx 10.4

bgaskey · Post by **bgaskey** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 3:46 am

i downloaded the newest svn and was trying to run configure, but it couldnt find gl libraries. What options do i need to specify? running OSX 10.4.8 on iMac G5. Downloaded all the dependencies and have been trying random stuff for liek 4 hours now.
btw this is my first post on forums here!

Looks like configure isn't finding libGL.so, or libopengl32.so. (gcc -lGL tries to link with libGL.so, BTW.) If you have those libraries, but they're in some directory configure doesn't think of looking in, you may have to set some environment variables (-L/usr/local/lib ...). ./configure --help for how to do it.

Try googling around for how to compile openGL progs on MacOS X. That'll probably tell you where to find a libGL.

I have had continuing troubles with SVN on a Mac mostly because Apple puts all the files in unexpected places.

Peter: I found libGL files but there is no .so the only extensions are .dylib and .a and i dont know if i can/should point the configure to them. They are locate in /Usr/X11R6/lib. I searched the whole hard drive from the terminal and there is only 3 .so files (not including GL or opengl32

).

Ok, those are probably equivalent to .so. .so is a "shared object" (shared library, equivalent to Windows DLL, in case that helps.) Probably the linker can read the .dylib file, and that will tell is where to find the actual shared object. (which might be called .so.versionnumber).

.a is a static library, so even if the compiler can't find a dynamic lib, it'll still link.

/usr/X11R6/lib (err, /Usr...) is a very likely place to find graphics libraries, so that's promising. Make sure it's included in the search path (i.e. there's a -L/Usr/X11R6/lib in there somewhere.)

Does OSX really use capital-U /Usr?

At least with Fink it's actually fairly serviceable as a Unix.

That is where Apple puts them in 10.3 & 10.4 (but not in 10.2 & 10.5).
See the other thread for ace123's advice to deal with this.

".so" & ".a" appear to be interchangeable from the viewpoint of the config script.

/usr/X11R6/lib (err, /Usr...) is a very likely place to find graphics libraries, so that's promising.

Not really -- they have absolutely nothing to do with X11. However, that *IS* where Apple put them.

Make sure it's included in the search path (i.e. there's a -L/Usr/X11R6/lib in there somewhere.)

This will not resolve the problem. The configure script does not read PATH.

No. OS X inherited the usual file tree from the BSD kernel; except where Apple moves things to strange places to make it hard to use the unix layer.

True, but vendors like Apple and Sun like to put other libraries in with the X11 stuff. libGL can't do any openGL except GLX, right? So it does need X11. I know xorg/xfree86 is a separate project from mesa or any other libGL. Anyway, I won't argue that libGL belongs in /usr/X11R6, but there are semi-coherent arguments for it.

Right, I should clarify that I don't mean $PATH, I mean the paths that configure will tell the compiler to search for libraries. i.e. adding stuff to LDFLAGS and CFLAGS. But the configure script can do that more easily:
./configure --with-gl-libs=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-gl-inc=/usr/X11R6/include

However, in 10.2, they were in /usr/include & they will be returning to /usr/include in 10.5. So, for any form of open source software, this means there must be support for both locations for backward compatibility.

*THAT* however, is a whine for another day.

./configure --with-gl-libs=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-gl-inc=/usr/X11R6/include

I have also discovered that it needs "--with-python-libs=/sw/lib/python2.3/config" & "--with-expat-libs=/usr/X11R6/lib" & "--with-expat-inc=/usr/X11R6/include"

With those additional includes, it should bring bgaskey up to the same line where configure currently crashes on my machine -- (not) looking for the png libraries in either /sw/include/ or /sw/lib/.

bgaskey · Post by **bgaskey** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 6:51 pm

Thanks for the tips, but I still get the same error. The configure still gets "configure: error: Cannot find GL library" with all of these includes. Anything else that could be causing it to fail at this point?

Shissui · Post by **Shissui** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 8:06 pm

From a Terminal window, as an admin privilege user, try the command:

Code: Select all

sudo find / | grep libGL

You should get something of the form:

stdout wrote: !3=/usr/lib[admin]> sudo find / | grep libGL

If this is not the case, then you need to re-install XCode -- be sure to include the 10.3 & 10.4 SDK modules. If your "find" looks like mine (without the snipping), then run the configure script again & paste the last 20 lines of the Terminal output back here.

bgaskey · Post by **bgaskey** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 1:22 pm

It ran all the way through.

For Shissui this should get it to find png and jpeg libs:

Code: Select all

./configure --with-gl-libs=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-gl-inc=/usr/X11R6/include/GL --with-python-libs=/sw/lib/python2.3/config --with-expat-libs=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-expat-inc=/usr/X11R6/include --with-png-libs=/sw/lib --with-png-inc=/sw/include/libpng12 --enable-macosx-bundle --with-jpeg-libs=/sw/lib --with-jpeg-inc=/sw/include

the script still ends with a page or so of errors tho.
This is the end of the terminal output.

Is any of that bad?? How can i add GTK and the other stuff to the search path?

Those are all warnings -- not critical. You should now be ready for the compile proper:

Code: Select all

make vegastrike
make soundserver
make install

bgaskey · Post by **bgaskey** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 3:06 pm

Tried the compile. It failed with:

/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -logg
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [vegastrike] Error 1

after several minutes and like a million pages of ... stuff.

Shissui · Post by **Shissui** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 3:23 pm

You are missing the shared sound libraries -- go back to "configure" & add
"--with-vorbis-libs=/sw/lib/ --with-vorbis-inc=/sw/include/"

Probably also worth checking that they are there first.

bgaskey · Post by **bgaskey** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 4:17 pm

I found and OGG on fink and got it. makefile ran, as did make soundserver and make install.

when i ran the binary, the game started and ran, but there were like a million errors

. I couldnt seem to find a lot of the image files. also, it started in 800x600 resolution and i cant find a setup program to fix that.

Post by **loki1950** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 4:58 pm

@bgaskey congratulations you got it those errors about missing images is normal ATM as for no setup program no GTK no setup you will have to edit vegastrike.config manually the file is XML and the active one is in your home folder.

Enjoy the Choice

Thanks everyone. I configured it to see my mouse, aand everything works. I really like some of the changes in the SVN. Should be fun

I know this thread has been inactive for a while, but I appear to be having the same problem as bgaskey was...I can't seem to convince ./configure that I really do have libGL.a. When I follow Shissui's advice:

Shissui wrote:From a Terminal window, as an admin privilege user, try the command:

I do indeed get the same output mentioned, leading me to believe that Xcode has been properly installed. Here's what I'm trying:

Code: Select all

./configure --with-gl-libs=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-gl-inc=/usr/X11R6/include/GL --with-python-libs=/sw/lib/python2.3/config --with-expat-libs=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-expat-inc=/usr/X11R6/include --with-png-libs=/sw/lib --with-png-inc=/sw/include/libpng12 --enable-macosx-bundle --with-jpeg-libs=/sw/lib --with-jpeg-inc=/sw/include --with-sdl-config=/sw/bin

and here's the last several lines of what I'm getting:

/sw/lib/python2.4/config/libpython2.4.a yes
checking for sdl-config... /sw//bin/sdl-config
checking for SDL - version >= 1.0.1... yes
checking for SDL_JoystickOpen... no
*** This version of SDL doesn't have joystick support.
*** Configuring without joystick support.
Using SDL Windowing System
checking for Mix_OpenAudio in -lSDL_mixer... no
*** SDL_mixer not found. Configuring without audio support.
checking for GL library... no
checking for GL library (with pthreads)... no
checking for MesaGL library... no
checking for MesaGL library (with pthreads)... no
checking for opengl32 library... no
checking for opengl32 library (with pthreads)... no
configure: error: Cannot find GL library

Any suggestions?

Look at the config.log file produced by the configure script. It will tell you exactly what library is missing- the script itself is notoriously unreliable in reporting this. (I was missing libxi but it told me I was missing GLUT.)

dmtheorist · Post by **dmtheorist** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 2:06 pm

I also wonder if there's something screwy going on with my configure.ac...Do I need to edit/comment something out/in?

Code: Select all

if test "x$is_macosx" = "xyes" ; then
	CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -I/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4usdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Libraries/CIncludes -DHAVE_PYTHON=1 -I$PYTHON_INCPATH "
	CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -Wno-long-double"
    dnl GL_CPPFLAGS="$GL_CPPFLAGS -framework OpenGL"
    dnl GLUT_CPPFLAGS="$GLUT_CPPFLAGS -framework GLUT"
	VS_LIBS="$VS_LIBS -F/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks  -framework OpenGL -framework GLUT -framework CoreAudio"
    with_gl_inc=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Libraries/CIncludes
    with_gl_libs=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Libraries
    with_al_inc="/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/Headers -I/sw/include"
    with_al_libs="/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/ -L/sw/lib"
#    PYTHON_LDOPTS="-L/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework"
#    with_python_inc="/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers"
    VS_LIBS="$VS_LIBS -lobjc -L$PYTHON_LIBPATH "
else
    VS_LIBS="$VS_LIBS -lutil"
fi

Note that I've edited out all references to SDKs other than MacOSX10.4u.sdk (I should mention this is on an Intel Mac running OSX 10.4.10)...although, my config.log includes lines like

configure checking for GL library
configure g++ -o conftest -I/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.8sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Libraries/CIncludes -DHAVE_PYTHON=1 -I -Wno-long-double -L/sw/lib conftest.cc -F/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks -framework OpenGL -framework GLUT -framework CoreAudio -lobjc -L -L/sw/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL -Wl,-framework,Cocoa -L/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Libraries -lGL >&5
/usr/bin/ld: -L: directory name missing
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

Where did that reference to MacOSX10.2.8sdk come from? Or is this an unrelated issue (I'm not much of a programmer myself, so it might just be that I'm out of my element here)?

Halleck · Post by **Halleck** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 3:33 pm

Intel mac... that may be the problem. I think I read something about Apple or Xcode not providing the proper GL libraries or something...

Try a forums search, also see: http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forum ... php?t=8132

Post by **ace123** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 8:33 pm

Well from the script, I see that that spare "-L" is coming from the python library.

Not really sure how to solve that.. It defaults to 2.4... if your mac is new, it might have 2.5, so you might need --with-python-version=2.5.

One thing for you to check is where on your system you have libpython.
