Help compiling on OSX

Post by JohnnyW »

Where can I go for help with compiling on OSX? There's no "Issues" tab on GitHub :-/

I've followed all the instructions here:
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Compi ... M/Mac_OS_X

And it seems to work apart from two things:
The theme doesn't load (and so it reverts back to the previous one)
WARNING: Could not find theme 'scummmodern' falling back to builtin!
The folder is there.

Also, when I try to make into an XCode project I get the following:
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [create_project] Error 1
With a huge amount of output that I can't possibly paste into here.

Where can I go for assistance with this? Thanks!

Did you make a bundle or run ScummVM from the command line. In the case where you build a bundle and then open it, the themes should be included in the bundle so it should find them automatically. But in the case where you run scummvm from the command line you need to set the path to the themes (gui/themes) in the ScummVM options so that it can find them.

I am not familiar with using an XCode project to build ScummVM so I don't really have an idea of what my be wrong. But it would be useful to see the errors. You can use a service such as pastebin.com and post the link here for example.

You can also try to join the #scummvm IRC channel on freenode.net to discuss with developers and ask your questions. Depending on the time of the day, you may not obtain an immediate answer though. But if you hang around somebody should reply eventually.

Ah! Thank you! That worked fine. Now I just need to see what's causing this error when trying to create an xcode project... I'm probably doing something wrong!

I'm running: make create_project

Is that right? Here's the output:

Joined the IRC channel and discovered the answer was simply:

Code: Select all

make devtools/create_project
Thanks!
