Mac CS Install?

[Macunixgeek]

How do I install CS for the Mac, and get Xcode to see it? I know it compiles, but I have no idea how to make the compiler see the library.

To "install" CS, you probably have to "jam install" once CS was built.
It's probably not required, tho.
For XCode to "see" CS, you almost certainly have some [project] settings to tweak,
like include dir, lib dir, and some flags (like those given by `cs-config --cxxflags` and `cs-config --libs`).
I don't know Mac OS nor XCode, so I can't say much more.

I am having a similar problem. I used 'cs-config --libs' to get the library designations for CS. I got the following:

Code:

-L././out/macosxppc/optimize/libs -lcrystalspace_python-1.2 -lcrystalspace_opengl-1.2
-lcrystalspace_macosx-1.2 -lcrystalspace-1.2  -lz -framework OpenGL -lm
-L/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3 Python -ldl  -lm -lmx -ldl
-L/usr/local/lib

Putting the paths in the library search paths didn't seem to help, but adding the above to 'Other linker flags' did... with the exception of the word 'Python' which gives me a 'not found' error. Removing that line (every space delimited phrase becomes a new line in the get info editor window) and things seem to start working. However, adding to the mix is that I am trying to link with the CEL library as well, and I can't seem to determine the proper reference for it. Any clues?

And yes, I'm a noob to all of this so I apologize in advance if this is explained elsewhere.

mmm, I guess the standalone Python should be -framework Python.
For CEL compile/link flags, there's cel-config script which works in a similar fashion.
Are you using 1.2.1 or just 1.2 ? It may be that it was fixed later.
It may also be good to check with 1.4 (future stable release) SVN branch. The URL for 1.4 SVN are:
https://crystal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crystal/CS/branches/release/V1.4
https://cel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cel/cel/branches/release/V1.4

First, thank you, thank you, thank you for the quick reply.

Adding '-framework Python' fixed that issue.

I am using CEL 1.2.1.

I could not find cel-config, but cel-config-1.2 --lib was there and yielded no results.

Do you suggest I skip the 1.2 branch and begin working with 1.4 now?

[Vincent]

I could not find cel-config, but cel-config-1.2 --lib was there and yielded no results.

What about cel-config-1.2 --libs ?
As for 1.4, it's up to you
If you get too many problems with 1.2, yes, I'd suggest upgrading to 1.4, which needs testing too
Also, it's not likely that new fixes will be made in 1.2 branch, but you can help making 1.4 better.

Here is what I got:

Code:

[Powerbook:~/cel-src-1.2.1] annelies% ./cel-config-1.2 --libs
 celtool
 cel_python

Unfortunately, noob that I am, I don't know how to add this into the link flags to make it work. I'll switch to the 1.4 as soon as I can figure out how to make the svn work... reading the subversion guide is giving me a migraine. It doesn't seem that there are a lot of mac users working in this environment yet. When I feel more competent in this, I'll be working on some additional startup guides

[Vincent]

Here is what I got:

Code:

[Powerbook:~/cel-src-1.2.1] annelies% ./cel-config-1.2 --libs
 celtool
 cel_python

Ah, with CEL you need to pass --lflags argument, like in ./cel-config-1.2 --lflags.
You can also check --help with cs-config or cel-config

[Penwriter]

The plot thickens...

I was able to get the proper (I guess) link flags using the cel-config script. But I get link errors indicating that I am trying to use i386 architecture (arch type 18) with ppc processor (arch type 7). The problem seems to be in the last two lines of:

Code:

-L/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3
-framework
Python
-ldl
-lm
-Wl,-framework,AppKit
-Wl,-framework,Foundation

When I remove the last two lines, I no longer have the architecture conflict, but it seems that most of the cs symbols can't be found (no such errors before adding the references to the CEL libraries). Argh! Is this a bug, or am I still missing something?

edit: upon further research, I think the problem is related to bringing in the two frameworks, AppKit and Foundation, which are universal binaries, meaning that they include both ppc and i686 variants, but the CS SDK only built ppc binaries. Ultimately, I'd want to produce universal binaries in the final product, so any ideas how to get the CS install to make both versions of the libraries?

[Vincent]

I think you first should try with CS/CEL 1.4 branch, to check if things go better now.
If not, you should either post a mail to the mailing list, or file a bug report, in order to reach people with knowledge about CS on Mac...
