Mac Nightly Build

<< < (5/5)

Jenna:
Don't use --enable-contrib, use --with-contrib-plugins=all instead.
For the beginning I suggest not to build the contrib-plugins, until you get C::B itself compiled succesfully.

I'm no Mac-User (only linux), so I can not provide much help.

The .svn-warning comes because you seem not to use svn-sources (if svn on berlios is down, you can not even fetch them), resulting in the revision number 0 inside C::B, but that does not matter.

smchronos:
I've tried using --enable-contrib and --with-contrib-plugins=all, but both give me the same result: command not found.

If I could just figure out what is missing on my Mac to run the bootstrap, I would be happy to produce Mac builds. Since it seems that configure.in isn't what I'm supposed to run next... and because bootstrap is failing, the proper configure file isn't produced... the bootstrap is required. I know that the nightly Linux builds are supported a little more often... or a lot more often... than the Mac build. I was really hoping to get it to work, but I can't even set up my environment properly because the bootstrap fails to execute.

[EDIT]
Oh, and I was able to get a revision before it went offline, apparently. I grabbed the 5723 revision, which was the latest at the time. So... even if the revision wasn't able to be updated, should that even make a difference?

The Mac builds have always been more "monthly" than "nightly", as you can see from the list at http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5358. I still update it from time-to-time, but it takes like a day and 5 gigs disk or so to build it (twice even, once for PowerPC and once for Intel)...


--- Quote ---I love the IDE and the tools that it comes with, I just really wish that it was also available on the Mac platform. Please keep in mind that I have no knowledge about what goes on when trying to build something like this. I'm looking for someone (or multiple people) to calmly explain to me why porting CodeBlocks to Macintosh computers is so difficult. If I was knowledgeable enough on this subject, I wouldn't bother you guys with these questions.

Most of the actual porting should be done, except for missing features such as frameworks. Or bugs, like the crashing batch build or the hanging printing support. The build itself shouldn't be more complex than ./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all && make plus some packaging hassles to merge the Universal Binary and to make the .app self-contained and relocatable (as described on the Wiki page). Note that you do need to build and install wxWidgets as well (wxMac, or Carbon, platform).


--- Quote ---Furthermore, with the current nightly builds, I was hoping to see if I could get the *NIX version to work with the Mac operating system since it does have a heavy UNIX background. Could someone also tell me if that is or is not possible and why (please don't berate me and just tell me that it isn't possible... I'd like to understand why).
--- End quote ---

You can build the GTK+/X11 version of the GUI on the Mac too, just that most people prefer the Quartz/Aqua version. The "easiest" way to build it is to use MacPorts and the codeblocks-devel port (you might want to bump the revision in the Portfile).


--- Code: ---sudo port install codeblocks-devel +x11
--- End code ---

sh -x bootstrap should show you each command as it is being executed...

smchronos:
I tried using the method to show me each command being executed, and it looks similar to something I got earlier in this topic:

It tells me that the SVN isn't valid, goes through some processes that I assume are successful, and then has problems with several Makefiles.
