Compiling on Mac OS X

[TheWizzard]

Hi,

I got pretty far with compiling Code::Blocks on Mac OS X, using gcc 3.3 and the bundled wxWidgets 2.5.x by making some changes to the source and makefile, but now I'm stuck. I know that Mac OS X isn't officially supported, but maybe you can help me anyway.

Here's what I get:

Did you use the makefiles provided with C::B? Which version? CVS? Makefiles are outdated I think, that why you have these link errors. Hope someone could regenerate those makefiles in CVS, I'm do not have access to my home machine right now! There are some odds things with wx classes too, don't know why! Did you link wx library properly?

[TheWizzard]

Actually I just used the Makefile.unix. The only thing I changed is -shared to -dynamiclib, as Mac OS X needs that.

[Urxae]

Yeah, makefiles tend to get outdated, especially Makefile.unix. That's what you get when the usual way to build Code::Blocks is to use the C::B project file .
Looks like it hasn't been updated to include the wxScintilla sources yet, so it can't find a lot of stuff in there.

[TheWizzard]

So I guess there's nothing I can do except wait?
Or can I somehow modify the Makefile?
I never needed to really get into Makefiles, although I have plenty of Linux experience.

[Urxae]

Well, it seems CodeBlocks-unix.cbp at least includes wxScintilla, so I exported a makefile for it and attached it. Zipped to meet both the size and file type restrictions of this board. You'll have to remodify it to work on OS X, I didn't do anything but export it.
Hope this helps.

EDIT: You mentioned you use wx 2.5.x, I'm not sure which project you need for that. Attached file is from CodeBlocks-unix.cbp, so for wx 2.4.

Makefiles may be outdated for a while. They 're not constantly outdated
Judging by the error log, you probably used an older makefile. Newer CVS contains wxScintilla, which is what you 're missing.
So, update from CVS and everything should be fine again

I got pretty far with compiling Code::Blocks on Mac OS X, using gcc 3.3 and the bundled wxWidgets 2.5.x by making some changes to the source and makefile, but now I'm stuck. I know that Mac OS X isn't officially supported, but maybe you can help me anyway.

It 's not supported because none of us owns a Mac
We 'd be glad though to have Mac-guy on board

*EDIT*:
Notice that under linux it only works with wx2.4 currently. So if you finally build it but it doesn't run, don't despair. It might have the same problem with the linux port. In that case, either try to fix it (and many users will be greatful ), or use wx2.4.

[TheWizzard]

I use the latest CVS and did a make clean but now it already fails at libwxscintilla.so.

I think I'll just build wx 2.6 from source and try again then. I'll let you know if it works (or at least compiles)

[TheWizzard]

Well,

The Makefile.unix.wx2.6 doesn't seem to include scintilla
and the other one won't work with wx 2.6, will it?

TheWizzard

[mandrav]

Sorry, my bad  :oops:
Because the linux port doesn't work with wx2.6, the relevant project file and makefile were outdated...

I 'm updating both now.
Because anonymous cvs lags a few hours, I 'm attaching a (hopefully) correct Makefile.unix.wx2.6 as a zip file.
If it doesn't work, try Makefile.unix. You will only have to change the lib names for wx...

Hi, maybe I've found the cause of crashes under wx2.6 - some compiler flags set globally in wx2.6 project changed calling convention for some functions what was the cause of seg faults. In wx2.4 projet there's only `wx-config --cflags` left. After removing other flags it compiles and runs without any crashes at the beginning
I've to check it once more since I've checked out whole repository (I've messed in source code too much to find the cause of crashes ). But I guess it will work

Yep. I've really seen C::B on Linux using wx 2.6

[rickg22]

Calling conventions?  :? Please explain further... this is some area where i'm a total n00b.

[byo]

Calling conventions?  :? Please explain further... this is some area where I'm a total n00b.

I think the cause of crashes on wx 2.6 was that wx code was compiled with one configuration of passing arguments and return values from functions and C::B with second one. In such case stack frames are incorrectly created - arguments may be shifted in stack space and incorrectly read. F. ex. reading address of place where to store result instead of 'this' pointer (what probably caused crashes in simple GetClientSize() function ).

I guess that -fno-pcc-struct-return compiler flag messed here

I've attached project and makefile in http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,824.msg5737.html#msg5737

And hope that wx 2.6 will soon be also supported

[xjluo]

The byo's solution succeeded on my Debian Linux with wxGTK-2.6.1, but failed on Mac OS X with wxMac-2.6.1.
I have downloaded the CVS version and replaced following setting in the Makefile:
-shared --> -dynamiclib
-D__WXGTK__ --> -D__WXMAC__
.so -> .dylib
and added -D__WXMAC_CARBON__ to all _GLOBAL_CFLAGS to avoid wxGenericImageList link error.
It finally stops on wxDockit compiling and says "Your platform does not currently support wxGdi".

Does anyone else have more information on Mac OS X platform?

[grv575]

The -fno-pcc-struct-return flag is probably no longer needed for the windows version either.
http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:DVNNfK54IZoJ:www.bzzt.net/~wxwindows/xmldocs/generating/texdocs/wxWidgets/src/makeg95.env+fno-pcc-struct-return&hl=en&client=firefox-a

It was needed to workaround an mingw bug (prior to 08/98).

xjluo:
even the 2.1 wxDockit say:
"NOTE: wxDockIt currently supports only the wxGTK port of wxWidgets.
       wxX11 and wxMotif cannot be used with wxDockIt."

So I guess wxMAC won't work with wxDockit.
