Synchmod?
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Synchmod?

| Question: If you have a system that is NOT connected to the internet, then how can you get the current "synchmods"? Here's the problem... My PC - connected to the net. My MAC - *not* connected to the net and part of a render-farm, so moving it isn't feasible. Any workable solution? Thanks. -Spo- |
| ||
| Sure. Syncmods on your pc and copy over your mods directory. You'll have to recompile all the modules and as such have gcc installed, or mac equivalent installed. |
| ||
| All I need to do is copy the entire mods directory and then just build them on my mac? Do I need anything else other than the "mods" directory? Thanks -Spo- |
| ||
| I'm not sure what mac requires for compiling C/C++/ObjC/ASM but you'll need it since uber low-level mods use alot of C |
| ||
| the Mac requires X-Code developer tools. |
| ||
| Ok, I tried the old copy and replace on my Mac. BlitzMax gave me errors that it couldn't create the file /tmp/etc/etc/etc...... So, i reinstalled BlitzMax on my Mac, reinstalled the 1.01 core update and rebuilt the mods. It worked, but no docs. I ended up copying my "docs" folder from the PC to the mac so I could have the mods docs. Odd. I have no idea what is going on. -Spo- |
| ||
| The documents are also synchronized and updated so yes you would've needed to copy over the docs also. |
| ||
| no, all you need is to call bmk docmods XD I prolly should have mentioned that. Copying works too though. |
| ||
| Cool. Thanks. Any idea why the Mac version of Blitzmax gave me "unable to create file /tmp/etc...." errors when I tried to build the mods? Thanks. |
| ||
| Do you have X-Code? Also, make sure there isnt a space in the path to bmax. |
| ||
| Yes. X-code is there. Completely installed. This problem only occured after I copied the "mods" directory from my PC version of BlitzMax to my mac and tried to re-compile them. Otherwise, I had no problem. Odd. -Spo- |
| ||
| what's the full error anyway? Whenever i have those there is a space in the path to the code, a bad bmax bug that NEEDS FIXIN! Oh, and you should call bmk makemods -r as well |
| ||
| Stupid mac question: How do I get to a command prompt to type bmk makemods -r (Yes, I'm new to Mac - got a mini yesterday morning) Thanks again! -Spo- |
