When Ahruman's back to the board, he should be able to provide instructions on compiling Oolite in Snow Leopard, so hopefully you should be able to run a trunk build well before February anyway!

Do check the Oolite-Mac section in the next week or so..

Posted: **Thu Dec 31, 2009 12:03 pm**

Alright, I gladly wait for that! After all, the Let's Play will hopefully serve as a kind of promotion, too, so I want to present as much goodies as I can

Posted: **Thu Dec 31, 2009 12:10 pm**

I build on snow leopard pretty much daily. Although not this week as Im not near my machine.

Its exactly the same as any other OSX build. Its very easy in xcode, and I presume easy using the build scripts but I dont do that.

The documentation here should tell you everything you need. http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Runnin ... rom_source

Can you let me know what errors you get, maybe I can rememebr what to do to fix them.

EDIT: and its been said a million times before, please dont use trunk to play, just for testing and development.

(Hope it's okay if use the thread here for building discussion...)

I was just writing this post and building to give you the exact error message ("Command Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 failed with exit code 1") when I thought "wait... 4.0? Isn't it set to 4.2?"
Yeah, it was, and I still got 4.0-error messages. I set it to 4.0 now and it mostly works, although the libpng-custom build still spits out this error over and over again.
(Edit: same with 4.2, dunno what the error was before Oo So nevermind...)

I know, I know. But since I'm going to record it, crashes can be cut out easily. So if it's not too crashy, I'll use the trunk despite repeated warnings.

Edit: 102 errors.
building libpng-custom gives me a "Command /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 failed with exit code 1" from pngmem.c to pngpread.c. These are 51 files, I doubt you need the complete log. If you do, just say so.

You shouldn't worry too much. For several months now I'm using trunk builds for normal playing

Even if some bug is introduced that creates a problem, it's typically fixed within the next one or two days. In general, the oolite trunk build runs much better than many commercial games do after several patches...

I personally would recommend to use a copy of the latest commander and then just try it once you get trunk running. Really...it's got it's improvements and typically runs very well! I did only have one crash for several weeks now and that was because of a wierd thing with a galactic misjump...

Its not that trunk doesnt work properly, it isnt intended for playing. There is a reason we have releases, and dont just tell everyone to use the latest dev code

For making videos it should be fine though, unless you are unlucky and someone broke it before you did the svn up.

There are a few initial points, have you set up all the dependencies properly? It seems like some header files might be missing.

For the debug OXP, did you remember to open the plug using interface builder after updaing xcode?

I didn't set up any dependencies, if that helps you

Where would I have to do that?

No. (I didn't update Xcode but did a clean install, does that change anything?)
I downloaded the newest (64bit-)version of the net.brockerhoff.RBsplitView.IBPlugin and opened it (and added it to the plugins).
The file is called RBsplitView.ibplugin and opens just fine. However, since XCode is nagging

Anyway, do I need the Debug OXP for playing? Doesn't sound like it...

Posted: **Thu Dec 31, 2009 5:23 pm**

You do not need the Debug OXP, however it ought to build, so if it doesnt, then that might indicate other problems.

Lets start at the top. Did you do the following:

Code: Select all

 To build the trunk, you will need to install some additional files. First, you will need the source release of libpng. This will decompress as a folder called “lpng1223” or similar. Rename it to “libpng” and move it to deps/Cross-platforms-deps in the Oolite repository. Additionally, in order to build and use the Debug OXP in the Development configuration, the RBSplitView Interface Builder plug-in must be installed. Important: due to an unfortunate change between versions, you must use the 1.1.4 version of the RBSplitView IB plug-in, or use 1.2 but change its bundle identifier from net.brockerhoff.RBSplitView.IBPlugin to net.brockerhoff.RBsplitView.IBPlugin.

Posted: **Thu Dec 31, 2009 6:05 pm**

-_______-
libpng was in deps, not Cross-platforms-deps...

Build succeeded, sorry 'bout that.
And now I know what you meant with dependencies

I didn't realize deps stood for dependencies.

I’d just like to report that Eric has fixed the showroom lighting issue that’s plagued us for three years or so, largely by ignoring my over-engineered solution and fixing it the easy way. :-)

Posted: **Fri Jan 08, 2010 10:42 am**

Posted: **Fri Jan 08, 2010 11:32 am**

Yupp. Muchas gracias Eric (and for your continued work on the WIKI documentation, oxp-updating, ...) :-)

Posted: **Fri Jan 08, 2010 4:10 pm**

A note to shader writers: the fix uses light 1 for both showroom and space lighting, so OO_LIGHT_0_FIX is still not defined. Support for OO_LIGHT_0_FIX will probably be removed from the standard shaders, but if we ever add another light (e.g. for extra suns, or for planetary backscattering) it will be defined.
