Mac OS X building (gmake and XCode) won't work about bgfx HOT 9 CLOSED

Can you copy&paste errors you're seeing here? Also version of OSX and GCC/Clang.

from bgfx.

Mac OS X: 10.7.5
XCode: 4.6.3 (4H1503)
OS X SDK: 10.8 (Base SDK)
Compiler: Default Apple LLVM compiler 4.2

Project file build command:

./premake4 --file=premake/premake4.lua xcode4

Build errors:

/Users/Dev/bgfx/src/bgfx_p.h:98:11: 'unordered_map' file not found
/Users/Dev/bgfx/examples/common/entry/cmd.cpp:15:10: 'unordered_map' file not found

This can be fixed by adding bx/include/compat/osx stuff in bgfx.lua.

After this modification you will start to get compiling errors from renderer_gl.h:

#include< gl/glext.h > <-- this one is missing, proper one is #include <OpenGL/glext.h>
#include< OpenGL/gl.h > <-- won't contain all function declarations are importer in glimport.h

Instead you can find most of the missing stuff from these files:

#include< OpenGL/gl3.h >
#include< OpenGL/gl3ext.h >

But after these modifications you will still get some compiling errors about OpenGL, and I stopped investigating :)

Do you have problems if you build from command line?

$ cd bgfx
$ make
$ make osx-release64

First make will generate makefiles, 2nd will build for OSX 64-bit release.

I don't use XCode and I'm not sure if Premake4 has full support for XCode4.

from bgfx.

As I mentioned in first post make osx-reslease64 created invalid executables, even though compiling was "fine".

With latest codebase I get following error:

../../../examples/common/entry/entry_sdl.cpp:14:10: fatal error: 'SDL2/SDL.h' file not found
#include < SDL2/SDL.h >
^
1 error generated.

Seems to be that SDL isn't flagged properly or something.

from bgfx.

Yeah SDL2 is forced on OSX, since my native OSX implementation for windowing on OSX is missing input.

You can #define ENTRY_CONFIG_USE_SDL to 0 to avoid this (you can do it via compiler option too).

This can be fixed by adding bx/include/compat/osx stuff in bgfx.lua.

This compat/osx should be automatically added for all projects from:
https://github.com/bkaradzic/bx/blob/master/premake/toolchain.lua#L473

I don't have no clue why executable would be invalid on OSX. I've tested only on OSX 10.8.4.

example-02-metaballs is good to test, since it doesn't require any external files. Once it's built can you just type:

$ cd bgfx
$ make
$ make osx-release64
$ .build/osx64_gcc/bin/example-02-metaballs.app/Contents/MacOS/example-02-metaballsRelease

Did you have any luck with this?

My guess is he's trying to run them from the Finder, but the built example .app bundles are broken: they contain executables but no Info.plist files, and you need to run them with a particular working directory to pick up the resources, otherwise they just segfault mysteriously.

Ideally, they'd have Info.plist files and they'd copy required resources into the app bundle so they can find them easily at runtime.

from bgfx.

@cadabra2 I test only thru command line, so steps above should work. Proper packaging (for all platforms) is on my TODO list. :)

from bgfx.

FYI. I'm getting this problem. Double clicking the app I get: "You can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete."

Building from command line with:
make osx-release64

Everything appears to compile fine.
The produced *.app files will not double click launch from finder.
However, I cd into the app bundle and manually run the executable it runs fine.
I should also point out the app icons in finder show up with a circle bar sign over them suggesting they won't run.

The *.app produced only includes the executable file. There is no Info.plist which I'm thinking may be the cause here.

Some other things I've noticed after poking a bit.
If I projgen the Xcode OS X project and open it the Info tab contains incorrect information about the project for the application target properties. Such as requiring arm64 and it being an iPhone project. Eliminating those things produces a .app that works.
