| Hi! I just bougth and downloaded BlitzMax for my Mac (OS 10.6). I have some experience with Blitz3D but right now I have no idea what is going on. I tried making a new Tab, typed Print "Hello World!" and hit "Build and Run". The first thing I got in my OutPut-Window: Building untitled3 Compiling:untitled3.bmx sh: as: command not found Build Error: Failed to assemble /Applications/BlitzMax/tmp/.bmx/untitled3.bmx.gui.debug.macos.x86.s Process complete I tried building a couple of Sample-Programs but got similar results. What do I have to do? |

| Probably need to rebuild modules. |
| ||
| AFAIK, you're required to install x-code in your mac. You can get it from apple.com or you can use your original system disk to add the package. It's not installed by default on mac computers as most mac users are not developers. |
| ||
| Thanks for the replies so far. I already have XCode installed. |
| ||
| So. I have XCode installed, I also tried that "Build Modules" thing but I still can't Run or Compile anything. I can't do anything with this software right now. What might be the problem? |
| ||
| Reinstall xcode? Im sure I've read that as and sh are tools in the xcode installation. |
| ||
| Are you using latest BlitzMax (downloaded from the Accounts / Product Updates section of this site)? |
| ||
| I'm using BlitzMax Release 1.44 I could try to reinstall Xcode. Would it be okay to install XCode version 3? I'm using Snow Leopard so the newest version wouldn't run on my Computer. (4.2.1 is OS X Lion only). |
| ||
| You need to be using 1.46 i think. 1.45 had issues on mac and i think 1.44 may have done too. |
| ||
| Installed 1.46. Didn't change a thing. :-( |
| ||
| have you tried to install Project Builder? if all fails just Uninstall + delete any other remaining files, Reboot, and Reinstall Blitz. Hope that helps ya out :) |
| ||
| Okay, I completely stripped Xcode from my Mac and reinstalled it from the Leopard-Disk. And everything seems to work fine now. :-D Thanks all :-) |
| ||
| fyi, xcode 4.2 is available for snow leopard through the apple developer portal. |
| ||
| thanks. but I wont really use xcode anyway :-) yet, concerning IDEs: Can anyone recommend a really good IDE to use with Bmax on Mac? |
| ||
| thanks. but I won't really use xcode anyway :-) Not intentionally perhaps, but there are a lot of 3rd party modules for blitzmax which may require the latest version to be installed in order to (re)compile them. |
