[OSX 10.6] Compiled OK but errors on test run.

[listiade]

I compiled as intructed in the FAQ, but when i start the game to test i get a big list of errors. I'm using OSX snow leopard (10.6.2). Can anyone help me out a bit with the following messages, because for me this is a bit out of my league.

I did not compile the lobby yet, as the instructions told me to testrun spring first before continuing.

Many thanks!

Using read-write data directory: /Users/user/.spring/

Assertion failed: (writedir && writedir->writable), function GetWriteDir, file /Users/user/Desktop/spring_0.81.2/rts/System/FileSystem/FileSystemHandler.cpp, line 109.

Check that /Users/user/.spring/ really is writeable (+w).

Also, you should not need to start Spring with sudo.

[hoijui]

not about the topic at hand/no help:
doh! OS X does not have addr2line installed by default, as it looks like.
how will we best work around this? it would be bad if we had to tell every user on OS X, when they had a crash and send infolog,txt, to install addr2line and try reproducing.

[listiade]

Ok i chmod +w the /Users/user/.spring directory and started the game without sudo.

Also gave +w on the /usr/.../games/spring, but this didn't help. With sudo again the same problem as in the TS.

[listiade]

OK, I have no idea how ti fix this and apparently no one here niether. I started playing BA using Windows now.

Is there an OSX package/binary planned anywhere soon? It would be great to have another OSX native game.

Hi,

I'm having the exact same issue here (on 10.6.3 though).
AFAIK it looks like the entire set of errors spawns from this one line :

Code: Select all

Could not create directory /usr/local/bin/spring: File exists

which yields

Code: Select all

Assertion failed: (writedir && writedir->writable), function GetWriteDir, file /Users/user/Desktop/spring_0.81.2/rts/System/FileSystem/FileSystemHandler.cpp, line 109.

(the rest having only little importance I'm afraid)

The issue thus seems that the spring executable attempts to mkdir a folder that has the exact same path as the executable, hence the error.

Hoping it was just a small mis-coding in the path construction, I tried to rename the executable to any other name (e.g. "spring.bin"). Unfortunately I end up with the exact same error, i.e. Spring tries to mkdir an eponym folder ("spring.bin" in my example case).

I'm starting to have a look into the problematic file (FileSystemHandler.cpp:109) and see who I can walk around this...

If any one has had similar issues or know of a clean solution, feel free to post around...

PS: the curse shall end... one day... eventually...

[daftalx]

ok, I didn't have time to look into the details on what has changed between the latest tarball and the repo, but if you compile directly from the repo (through a git clone), it should both compile and run correctly.

will compile an updated install tutorial sometime soon

we're getting to it !!
