Mechanized Assault & eXploration Reloaded

Ah, ok, that would make sense!

I am using OS X 10.8.2, XCOde 4.5.2, llvm and I used the 10.8 sdk. On my cousins 10.7 it did not run, so I changed my sdk-setting to 10.7, but it would not run on his machine.

Well, have to look that up some time. Anyway: my own 3043 build now runs at least on my machine, and I could play a game with nonsinn without problems.

Besides the Ticket #648 "Construction dialogs crash on OSX" of course, but that was not fixed yet, so what did I expect? ;-)

But good feeling to finally be able to check out and play the game when new bugfixes are made available on svn.

Okay, I missed a setting. There are two "Deployment-Targets", and one was still set to 10.8, that might be the reason why it did not work on my cousins 10.7 machine.

Anyhow, I now succeeded to build it in 64 bit, and besides the pure llvm, there also is a llvm-gcc 4.2. So I now use llvm-gcc 4.2 as compiler, 10.6 as deployment target.

So now running in 64 bit I think I'm getting the hang of how xcode handles the base sdk and deployment target-stuff :-D

Toranaga: I figured out why my builds are not working on other machines!

It crashes saying its missing SDL. So, somehow xcode does not include sdl into the final .app, thus running the app fails on machines that did not manually install the frameworks as I did for building.

Any idea how I can change that?

Please first check, if the SDL frameworks are really not included in your built maxr.app. Therefore do a right click on the app and "Show Package Contents". There should be a "Contents/Frameworks/" folder with the three frameworks (sdl, mixer, net).

you are right, there they are! As supposed.

Hmm... then I wonder what goes wrong, as the message clearly states "image missing - SDL.framework"

This is the error-message a friend of mine sees when starting my app.
He is using 10.6.8, while I built it on 10.8.2.

Ain't no Mac user but this:

> Library not loaded: @rpath/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL
> Reason: image not found

Looks to me like the SDL library is in fact there but was not loaded due a missing image.

I can however not read from it what image might be meant. It's certainly not a picture but something similar?

I think it has something to do with what can be fixed with the tools otool and install_name_tool
I remember I had to do it when I started with maxr, but I forgot, what I did. You somehow have to change I think the @executable_path of the sdl frameworks. You can do a
otool -L pathToSDLBinary
and see what it says. Then you could compare to the stuff that is printed when you do the same with the libraries I modified and that are part of the maxr.app I built. Sorry to be so vague. But it should point you to the right direction.
If you find out, how to do it, then please write it here, so that I know it then, too

The first one is from the binary I built, the second one from your binary:

I think its where your app says "@executable_path" mine points to @rpath ...
