2.3 dev version for mac question

[gothgod]

So I had also problems to compile this for mac, used fink and the info in the wiki was not enough. In addition to those already mentioned in the wiki, I had to add these installations:

sudo fink install glib2-dev gtk+2-dev gtkglext1 pango1-dev pango1-xft2-dev atk1 libgettext3-dev

I guess that something about this is wrong because the game hung almost immediately after start, but anyway... Hope this helps anyone.

thanks - i've updated the wiki entry

Gothgod, are you on an Intel or PPC Mac?

OS X 10.5.5?

These packages are not the Universal/intel versions via Fink? (actually, that's more a statement than a question)

Ta for help!

When running the 'make macinstaller' command it gives the following error:

msgfmt -v -o base/i18n/bg/LC_MESSAGES/ufoai.mo src/po/ufoai-bg.po
make: msgfmt: Command not found
make: *** [base/i18n/bg/LC_MESSAGES/ufoai.mo] Error 127

looking around this is an error with gettext, but according to fink I do not need to install either gettext or gettext-dev.

ced-155-40:trunk Charlie$ fink install gettext
Information about 2534 packages read in 0 seconds.
No packages to install.
ced-155-40:trunk Charlie$ fink install gettext-dev
Information about 2534 packages read in 0 seconds.
No packages to install.

Never mind, I've fixed my problems via the 'fink scanpackages' command

[Mattn]

can you please add this to the mac wiki site, too? maybe this info helps others, too

If I have XCode installed, how much more space do I need to compile 2.3 for PPC?

Source code, object code, final package, all the libraries that need to be downloaded and compiled, etc.

Are we talking 2G, 5G, or 10G?

[geever]

About two, I guess, but not more than five. (shouldn't be more IMO)

Well, I suppose I'm effectively in the same boat. I know about and can use gcc for some very basic programming, but I know nothing about make files and I know very few of the unix commands. I have fink (or so I believe, anyway), but I've never used it.

I try running line 1, and it asks me for my password. I don't even know what that is... how do I set it?

[Sagittario]

Update: I found a way around the password problem, but after running the fink command (the first line on the wiki), I get the following error message:

Failed: no package found for specification 'gtksourceview2'!

How do I get/make it able to get this package?

[geever]

I don't know macs but gtksourceview2 is needed for the mapeditor only. you can disable it with

Code: [Select]

./configure --disable-uforadiant

-geever

[Sagittario]

I can't even get to that step. It's failing on line 1.

[geever]

I can't even get to that step. It's failing on line 1.

Ok, I don't even know what line 1 is...

I took the gtksourceview2 command out, and I am now asked the following:


fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:

(1)   db44-aes-shlibs: Shared Libraries for db44-aes
(2)   db44-shlibs: Shared Libraries for db44



What should I pick?

[Sagittario]

Edit: Solved that problem. It now says that I need the OGG development headers. What are they and how do I get them?
