ALPHA 1.1: Mac: Undefined symbols

by Scott Coursey · in Torque Game Builder · 11/24/2005 (10:54 pm) · 46 replies

I've successfully gotten T2D to build on my Mac. I could do a write-up on what I did, but most steps are covered elsewhere. The one thing I did find rather odd, and if anyone knows of a better way, then please let me know, was the use of "inline" in engine/T2D/t2dUtility.cc was breaking the final link.

I was getting errors such as:

/usr/bin/ld: warning prebinding disabled because of undefined symbols
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
mSwap(float&, float&)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The mSwap is an inline function inside t2dUtility.cc. I went in and removed all "inline" phrases and rebuilt. Everything worked. The T2D example also comes up nicely.

Now to play...

Unfortunately, that's where the phrase "ALPHA" comes in. According to Melv, in another thread, there are some functions that have not been written for the Mac yet.

So, saving GUIs and tile-maps won't work. You can hack the code together yourself, which would be a great help to others, or we can all wait until they "spread some love to the Mac" (to quote a GG emp).

I see. Has anyone given a time frame? I'd do it myself except I have no idea how.

I think I saw a post that someone got this to work on Linux. Not sure if it'll work here.

I'm just happily playing around in 1.0.2, so I'll wait for anything further.

I'm getting a weird error, but probably because I added files to the project that don't need to be there. However, I noticed that event.h wasn't in the project (thus the reason I added some stuff). Now I'm getting an error in engine/gui/GuiControl.cc around line 25:
...cannot declare member 'GuiControl::smDesignTime' within 'GuiEditControl'
and about 247 other errors (no, really!) in that file.
I'm using Xcode 1.5 and GCC 3.3. Does anyone have a working project file I could get? Maybe I'll try again from scratch.

I resolved that error by moving the block of static variable definitions to the end of the source file, and moving the GuiEditControl * variable to the very last line. Maybe GCC 4 accepts them where they are, but GCC 3.3 doesn't like them at the start? Weird.

Ok, now I get a link error: 'libogg.0.dylib' is not prebound.

This must be because it's using the libogg.a from my /usr/local/bin/ directory, but it appears that the Vorbis.framework that comes with T2D is empty (the linker complains it can't find it even when I add it to the project). I guess I'll keep trying things unless someone replies. :)

The regular (non-alpha) build apparently requires the changes in resManager.h, the enum change in event.h, and the ranlib operation for the vorbis libraries. I didn't have any other problems with the build.

10.4.4 XCode 2.0 powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0 (GCC) 4.0.0

These instructions should really be in the package, I get really dirty with things that don't compile before I've even had a chance to break them.
