Install 1.38 + maxGUI Mac PPC
BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/Install 1.38 + maxGUI Mac PPC
| ||
| Doing a fresh install of blitzmax on my older PPC mac. Downloaded and expanded 1.38 - rebuid documentation - rebuild modules - all ok download and expand maxgui 1.38 source - move to modules folder - rebuild modules - I get an error for cocoamaxgui.mod/cocoa.macos.m line 15 #include <pub.mod/macos.mod/macos.h> file could not be found. poked around and changed macos.h to macos.c (since it exists) and rebuild modules works fine... I assume this is a typo but I'm afraid I may be missing a header file and bad things could result... |
| ||
| You should have a macos.h. I presume that the macos.mod for PPC is incomplete? |
| ||
| I suppose... this is a fresh install, just downloaded the files... haven't tried maxgui 1.38 on my intel mac yet but I would assume it would have the same problem since 1.38 is just source... going to try 1.36 PPC to see if it works... |
| ||
| macos.mod on x86 is fine - since that's the one I use for both x86 and ppc builds (universal), and have several modules using the new functionality in that module. |
| ||
| maxgui 1.36 PPC compiles and runs fine, just seem to be missing that header file that 1.38 looks for (1.36 doesn't)... going to update to 1.38 on x86 mac and see what happens. |
| ||
| mac x86 is fine with bmax 1.38 and maxgui 1.38 (no missing header, everything compiles fine) so it would appear the 1.38 bmax for PPC is missing pub.mod/macos.mod/macos.h I copied the x86 one over in the hope that they're supposed to be the same, and it built modules but it wouldn't build a program with maxgui. rebuilding all modules now to be sure. |
| ||
| I am having the same PPC Mac problem -- missing <pub.mod/macos.mod/macos.h>. Tried borrowing x86 file to no avail. Any easy fixes? iMac G5, OSX 10.5.8. Currently using: BlitzMax 1.3.8 MaxIDE 1.3.7 (love those colored parentheses) MaxGUI 1.3.6 (1.3.8 doesn't work here) Thanks, John G |

| Try commenting out the offending #include, you may get some warnings but it will build I think. or here is a copy of the macos.h file: #ifndef PUB_MACOS_MACOS_H #define PUB_MACOS_MACOS_H #include <brl.mod/blitz.mod/blitz.h> #include <AppKit/AppKit.h> #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/sysctl.h> int is_pid_native( pid_t pid ); BBString *bbStringFromNSString( NSString *s ); NSString *NSStringFromBBString( BBString *s ); #endif |

I got this error after adding the macos.h file:Building glcube Compiling:glcube.bmx Linking:glcube /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _NSStringFromBBString _bbStringFromNSString collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Build Error: Failed to link |
| ||
| Recompile the modules? |
| ||
| obviously I did that after adding the macos.h file. |
| ||
| I haven't found a working solution yet, so I went back to 1.36 on my PPC. Redirecting the include to point to the C file instead of the H lets it compile but it won't properly build applications (atleast not mine). Copying the .h from an x86 install doesn't work. Commenting it out entirely doesn't work either if I recall correctly, but not 100% on that as it was a week ago I was actively working on this. Not a huge issue for me, 1.36 seems to work fine for my app and my PPC build was just to see how it would run on older hardware more than a real target platform for me. I think the PPC 1.38 distribution needs to get fixed... |

| Thanks skidracer. Couldn't get anything to work here. MaxGUI 1.36 working fine for now. |
