Need PPC help

[courier]

Well, I've beat my head against doing the PPC build from my Intel mac, and I can't work out how to do it.  So I need someone with a PPC mac to take a try.  (As I mentioned earlier, but not here, there is a 2.2.1 build for Intel macs at http://ecglaf.naegling.net/~ggould/ufoai-2.2.1-macosx-i386.dmg -- although I do hope someone will mirror that rather than everyone hitting my home machine...)

What you will need:  A PPC mac with XCode (the developer toolkit) and fink (the unix-style package manager) installed.

What you will need to do:  Follow the instructions at http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Compile_for_Mac , except that for the URL in the svn command, use https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/ufoai_2.2/ (to get the 2.2.1 code rather than the latest unstable stuff).

I'm sorry that it's taking so long to get mac builds out to the community -- I'm new to this project and I'm learning as I go.

[Mattn]

btw. i've mirrored this file at: http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/ufoai-2.2.1-macosx-i386.dmg

Sorry, I've been super busy, i.e. too busy to play games... I'm just getting the svn version from tags/ufoai_2.2.1 and should have everything compiled tonight. I'm guessing that the snapshot in tags is the same code as released on Win and Linux. Mattn, do you have a map pk3 so I don't have to compile them, or just pull down the one from the linux version?

courier, you really should follow the wiki information and use MacPorts. It seems to work much better than Fink for this. Especially if you want to compile universal binaries! I was a fink user since 10.0 and basically gave up on it when I tried to make a universal binary for UFO:AI.

Mattn, would it be possible to get you to modify configure to recognize a Mac specific option that can be used to set the appropriate compiler/linker flags to make universal binaries on Mac? I know exactly what flags need to be set and where but am completely a newbie when it comes to the arcane incantations required for configure to work.

UB disk images are very shiny, but [in my not so humble opinion] should be avoided for packages that are already large enough to be a problem for people with poor connections - that means us.  Also, users with full hard drives are going to end up using lipo or some other utility to remove all that extra fat they don't need.  Why not just release separate Intel/PPC versions - it's not that hard.

As to the MacPorts/fink competition, they each have their pros and cons.  Use MacPorts if you insist on making UB packages, as fink absolutely won't do that.  Otherwise, either will do the job.

I suppose that depends on how easily an Intel Mac can be told to compile for PPC only -- I don't know if universal libraries can be used, or if a whole cross-compilation environment needs to be set up. Or if the utilities you mentioned are friendly to open source programs (i.e. nothing in the EULA that says resultant binary is for personal use only, can't be distributed yada yada). I would volunteer if I had a PPC machine, but unfortunately I don't.

[Doctor J]

Well, if you want to go that route, go ahead.  It just seems easier to me, and perhaps less error prone, to do the PPC compile on a PPC - gasp!  No, in all seriousness i'm sure it's already been done.  The problem is nobody who has a PPC machine has write permission to upload, and vice versa.  Actually, tchristney has already built the Universal Binary of 2.2.1, but he doesn't have permissions either, and the man who does is apparently offline for some weeks...

[blondandy]

i have emailed the sf.net admins (mattn and hoehrer), asking them to look at this.

You should just be able to just run

Code: [Select]

./configure CFLAGS="-arch ppc" LDFLAGS="-arch ppc"
and then run make as usual. Of course the big problem comes if you don't have ppc libraries installed which will cause the link to fail.

UB disk images are very shiny, but [in my not so humble opinion] should be avoided for packages that are already large enough to be a problem for people with poor connections - that means us.  Also, users with full hard drives are going to end up using lipo or some other utility to remove all that extra fat they don't need.  Why not just release separate Intel/PPC versions - it's not that hard.

A bit of false economy that. By far the biggest portion of the download is the graphics and music. The libraries and executables comprise about 10 MB (of 400 MB) for universal binaries. So you might be able to save around 5 MB using lipo to strip out the unused architecture code.

May I help ?  I have a dual 1,25Ghz G4 PowerMac with 2 Gb Ram and fast I/O.
OS is Mac OS 10.4.11, XCode is Version 1.5

I just checked out the sources from svn (2.2 branch) and gave it a try.
Is there anything to watch for/keep in mind/whatever to do - I usually only compile on linux and openbsd.

if someone had a "script" output from a cleanroom intel built, that would make things very easy.
(I assume that the code compiles, otherwise i might need instructions on upstream-patches.)

--> I guess you folks have a minimum compiler requirement you do not mention in the faq. 

now downloading new compiler.

[ripclaw]

this one is fixed:  fink does not set $PATH correctly:

- appearantly msgfmt is not around, but fink with full set of recommendations according to faq is installed.
this looks like something went wrong obviously. compile went through with several warnings, but no bad stuff.

pls help with info on this msgfmt thing.

next thing:  make only seems to use one cpu during make maps. 
additional bug: make macinstaller does not check for existing 0*.pk3 files, it just overwrites with new download.

last part fails - why isnt yet obvious to me:

ok, here`s from build/installer.mk:

macinstaller:
        $(MAKE) lang
        # delete all the maps first - we have to get them precompiled, otherwise
 multiplayer
        # won't work due to mismatching checksums
        cd base; ./archives.sh
        cd base; wget http://mattn.ninex.info/download/0maps.pk3
        cd src/ports/macosx/installer; $(MAKE) TARGET_CPU=$(TARGET_CPU)
        scp src/ports/macosx/installer/ufoai-$(VERSION)-macosx-$(TARGET_CPU).dmg
 ufo:~/public_html/download
        scp src/ports/macosx/installer/ufoai-$(VERSION)-macosx-$(TARGET_CPU).dmg
 mirror:~/public_html

thou shallt not hardcode network transfers in thy make-scripts without proper labeling the stuff.

suggested fix in installer.mk:


macinstaller:
        ## set download variable, curl would overwrite wget.
        URL_MAPPK3=http://mattn.ninex.info/download/0maps.pk3
        DOWNLOADER=`which wget` ; which curl ; if [ $?] ; then DOWNLOADER=`which curl` ; fi
        if [ $"X$(DOWNLOADER)" -eq $"X" ] ; then echo "no download tool installed, install curl or wget" ; exit ; fi
        $(MAKE) lang
        # delete all the maps first - we have to get them precompiled, otherwise multiplayer
        # won't work due to mismatching checksums
        cd base ; ./archives.sh
        cd base ; if [ ! -x 0maps.pk3 ] ; then $(DOWNLOADER) $(URL_MAPPK3)
        cd src/ports/macosx/installer; $(MAKE) TARGET_CPU=$(TARGET_CPU)

copymacinstaller:
        cp src/ports/macosx/installer/ufoai-$(VERSION)-macosx-$(TARGET_CPU).dmg .

compiled a working binary. where and how to upload ?

[Mattn]

we have a universal binary already - doesn't it work (sorry, i haven't followed the whole discussion here)
