CB startup problem on Mac OSX

<< < (2/3) > >>

Game_Ender:
You need to have doxygen installed.  If you have Darwin Ports installed you should just be able to type "port install doxygen" at the command line and it will be downloaded and compiled.  This will bring in a ton of dependencies so don't worry if it install a bunch of extra stuff first.

Also if there is something wrong with the wiki, just updated it.  Thats the point :).  Make sure to include the versions of the autotools you used to build code::blocks.

I have updated the Mac information on the Wiki page now.
The shell script workaround will not be in the final version.

"MacOS/CodeBlocks" should be the real application/exe, the stuff in
"lib" should go in Frameworks and "share/codeblocks" into Resources.

(this assumes converting wx and codeblocks to frameworks, and
teaching the main program to understand Mac args and bundling)

Hi!

Platform: Dual 2.3 GHz PowerMac G5, OSX10.4.7, 1GB DDR RAM, XCode Toolkit 2.4

I am sorry to say, but the instructions on the wiki page did not work for me.

I installed autoconf-1.7, but skipped the section "Universal binaries" since I did not understand in which context it was supposed to be applied.

I followed your list of actions exactly:

[Tiger:OpenSource/CBtest/trunk] bnilsson% ./update_revision.sh
[Tiger:OpenSource/CBtest/trunk] bnilsson% glibtoolize --force --copy
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
[Tiger:OpenSource/CBtest/trunk] bnilsson% cat /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 >> aclocal.m4
[Tiger:OpenSource/CBtest/trunk] bnilsson% autoheader
[Tiger:OpenSource/CBtest/trunk] bnilsson% automake-1.7 --include-deps --add-missing --foreign --copy
configure.in: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.in: You should verify that configure.in invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
configure.in: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
configure.in: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal).

...
... and many more similar error messages. I can send you the complete list if you wish.
I did not continue from there.


On the other hand, what DOES work for me is to modify and use the supplied "bootstrap" file, referring to the autotools installed by DarwinPorts by explicit calls to /opt/local/bin/aclocal, /opt/local/bin/glibtoolize, etc. instead of the default ones, as I diecribed before.
bootstrap gives only some warnings:

[Tiger:OpenSource/CodeBlocks/trunk] bnilsson% ./bootstrap

./configure then runs without problems.
Actually, I found it convenient to specify installation directly into the bundle:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/CodeBlocks.app/Contents
make and make install works without problems.

The wiki instructions on how to complete the bundle is now perfecly ok, thanks.

There seemed to be a call to "aclocal-1.7" missing from that list, to create aclocal.m4 ?
(which is probably why it worked better for the bootstrap script - that should be fixed...)

Only problem here being that your $HOME ain't the same as my $HOME :-)
Xcode has a life-long problem with wanting to link to /Users/afb absolute...

I modified them a bit to clear things up, should make a Portfile for C::B too.

port install codeblocks

A user in the past stated that he solved this problem by completly removing the old autotools from his system before doing the update.

I have not tried this though. I spent many days trying to get autotools to work, and failing, I just don't use them anymore.
