[Tutorial] Building Spring on Mac OS X

[Guillaume Outters]

I have a whole compilation chain working at home (see http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... 16#p492316). For this particular problem, I just modified png.h to define the old function as an alias to the new one. This isn't the cleanest way of doing things but is works great.

Hi,

Got an error compiling springlobby. Max OS X 10.6.8, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, macports 1.9.2. Error is:

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed

Log is here: http://pastebin.com/7u2GDP7t

I know the tutorial states that 64-bit kernel will not work (which is what I have) for spring, but I got spring to build, run, and work. so does springlobby have a building problem for 64-bit?

[abma]

you can try to compile springlobby yourself + disable libnotify support
(OPTION_NOTIFY in cmake)

[daftalx]

I've updated the ports (and tutorial online) to SL 0.135. Feel free to try that again and see if you still experience the issue. FYI, the upgrade should read

Code: Select all

sudo port sync && sudo port upgrade springlobby

Hello

I've been trying to compile spring, quite new to all this. It comes up with the error below, any help on how to install the missing dependancies would be great.

anything not clear in this error-message? i don't know what i should explain...

[kiwi_flyer]

Yeah sorted that out, sorry prob just needed to spend a bit more time looking at whats what.

I've got to may next problem now :) Looking at the text below it appears to be looking for spring on the macports site, I looked on the site and it is not there but seems to find it somewhere?

this part is useless, the error happened before...

[kiwi_flyer]

Been trying to sort it out, I came across the following errors, made sure my OpenAL files are all up to date but still getting the same errors.

Starting to think just waiting for the .app may be easier :)

Thanks again

Success! Nearly :)

Have got spring running now, thank you for you help Abma, sorted out the OpenAL issue.
The only thing now is once i run spring and got to test game with any ai/map/mod combo spring will exit with the following in the terminal.

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _png_set_longjmp_fn
Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libIL.1.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace

dyld: Symbol not found: _png_set_longjmp_fn
Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libIL.1.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace

I found some similar problems people had, but nothing exactly the same.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks
kiwi

i dont know how your libIL came into existance, but maybe it was not compiled with PNG support, or it is just too old, or it was compiled against an other version of libpng then the one you are using, ...
something along these lines, possibly.
spring needs DevIL with png support, as it is used to load textures, for example.

maybe you can reinstall libil, or compile it yourself with PNG support, ... no idea what to do on mac.

[daftalx]

could you issue a

Code: Select all

port installed

and give the lines with libdevil and libpng ?

[kiwi_flyer]

I had a go at doing an uninstall / clean / install on both libpng and libdevil, still with the same results. Both are being downloaded by macports from the standard http://packages.macports.org/.
This gives me libpng 1.4.8_0, the latest which I can find online is 1.5.4
The libdevil is 1.7.8_3, the latest of this online seems to be 1.7.8_6

I did get the latest ones but I'm not sure of how to get macports to use them instead of looking on it's own server for the others. Also unsure if it will bring in any new troubles if I start using a newer version than what was intended.

Things should build fine with the versions provided by MacPorts (they do here on the official buildbot...). So my guess is that you have another version of libpng somewhere on your system (/Library/... /usr/local/...), which prepends over MacPorts's (e.g. I've seen it recently with /Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework).

Try a

Code: Select all

otool -L /opt/local/bin/spring
otool -L /opt/local/lib/libIL.1.dylib

and check which versions of libIL and libpng are referenced.
Also, which OS version do you have ? all the above is functional on SnowLeopard (10.6), but not tested elsewhere.

[kiwi_flyer]

I did find another version of libpng in the user library so I moved that out the way, tried compiling again with the same result. From the output below it looks as if libIL.1.dylib is looking for version 1.2 of libpng? When installing libpng from macports provides version 1.4 in the /opt/local/lib/ (I do have a libpng14.14.dylib file but no libpng12.0.dylib file)

DBs-Computer:~ DB$ otool -L /opt/local/lib/libIL.1.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libIL.1.dylib:
/opt/local/lib/libIL.1.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.0.0)
/opt/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib (compatibility version 13.0.0, current version 13.5.0)
/usr/local/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 47.0.0, current version 47.0.0)
/opt/local/lib/libmng.1.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 2.0.0)
/opt/local/lib/liblcms.1.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 2.19.0)
/opt/local/lib/libjasper.1.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 2.0.0)
/opt/local/lib/libjpeg.8.dylib (compatibility version 12.0.0, current version 12.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 159.0.0)
/opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.5)
/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 52.0.0)

Had a look at spring too and it is referencing /opt/local/lib/libIL.1.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.0.0).
All the other library versions are either the same or current version above the compatibility version.

[daftalx]

If libdevil points to libpng12, it means it was there before and got cached somehow, or not cleaned correctly when upgrading to 1.4. Do you have packaging option enabled in Macports ? If so, every successful install is stored as an archive in /opt/local/var/packages, thus your uninstall/clean is not 100% clean: when you reinstall, it deflates your previous packaged as it may not see some changes. (weird anyway, more investigation needed). You may want then to remove devil and libpng's packages before cleaning and re-installing them

As a last resort, if you do have the 1.4 dylib in /opt/local, here's how to manually force libIL to point to it once and for all

Code: Select all

install_name_tool -change /opt/local/lib/libpng12.0.dylib /opt/local/lib/libpng14.0.dylib /opt/local/lib/libIL.1.dylib

Although this is a bit dirty as it should have found the right one by itself...

Hint: backup the libIL before typing the above line in case things go wrong

[kiwi_flyer]

Thanks daftalx, all up and running now :). turned out I had missed seeing that is was looking in usr/local/lib rather than opt/local/lib and there was actually still a copy of version 1.2 in there.
Spring lobby also launches, not tried getting on the server yet, just single player. The Java based AI's seem to die as soon as the games starts though, and the commander AI doesn't build anything. Will try downloading a few more and trying them, which normally work well?

Thanks
kiwi

[knorke]

the commander AI doesn't build anything

the "commander AI" is actually a startscript and put you against a NullAI
So it is normal that it does not do anything.

Will try downloading a few more and trying them, which normally work well?

RAI for BA. The Lua AIs that came with same games (zeroK, kernel panic, spring:1944) should work too.
