Building VICE on Mac OS X

New thread as to not spam Reverse debugging in emulator?.

Quoting JackAsser

Hmms.. configure && make worked quite nicely for me on Mac OS Mountain Lion.

OK, there's just no way build/macosx/build-allext.sh works on Xcode 4:

run "$SCRIPT_DIR/build-hidutils.sh" "$1" ppc 10.4 gcc40 $2
run "$SCRIPT_DIR/build-hidutils.sh" "$1" i386 10.4 gcc40 $2
run "$SCRIPT_DIR/build-hidutils.sh" "$1" ppc 10.5 gcc40 $2
run "$SCRIPT_DIR/build-hidutils.sh" "$1" i386 10.5 gcc40 $2
run "$SCRIPT_DIR/build-hidutils.sh" "$1" i386 10.6 gcc42 $2
run "$SCRIPT_DIR/build-hidutils.sh" "$1" x86_64 10.6 gcc42 $2
run "$SCRIPT_DIR/build-hidutils.sh" "$1" i386 10.6 clang $2
run "$SCRIPT_DIR/build-hidutils.sh" "$1" x86_64 10.6 clang $2

Xcode 4.4 doesn't come with the SDKs for 10.4-10.6, and it doesn't have gcc-4.0. gcc-4.2 is there, but not with the name specified in the build script (it's just "gcc" now).

HID Utilities sample code moved a couple of years ago, and is now found at https://developer.apple.com/library/Mac/#samplecode/HID_Utiliti... It unzips into a different name though which causes build-hidutils.sh to fail.

Then for libnet the required tarball isn't hosted at http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libn/libnet0/ anymore. There's a libnet without 0 but the tarball isn't there either. There's a tarball at http://packetfactory.openwall.net/projects/libnet/dist/libnet.t... that might be the right thing, but it's hard to tell. Either way the damn thing is from 2004.

In a similar vein lame 3.97 is from 2006, but at least it's easy to find.

Then for ffmpeg we go in the opposite direction and the required dependency is the latest svn checkout.

So this is the point where I gave up, installed a Linux VM, and compiled that source instead. It's still somewhat of a pain, but nothing compared to compiling the Mac version.

you might want to post that on the tracker, so christian sees (and eventually fixes) it =)

"How hard can it be?" ;)
