MacOS Framework missing about 30 headers?

[kencu]

Hi, I'm bundling the Irrlicht library up for macports. I'm surprised it hasn't been in there earlier.

I have the installation working; macports prefers the dylib versions of libraries, and the easiest way to get this seems to be to build the xcode project ".source/Irrlicht/MacOSX/MacOSX.xcodeproj" with target being IrrFramework. This builds, installs, and works correctly to allow, for example, minetest to build and run.

But I notice there are 153 header files in the framework build, and 182 header files in ./include/*.h. A number of files (I'll list them below) are not moved into the framework's header directory.

Are these headers not needed? Some examples wouldn't build without them, I noticed.

Is the xcode project just out of date? I can easily enough move these headers manually into the framework's header folder if so -- but is the framework's library up to date, then? Will they find the proper objects to link against in the framework-built library?

There is a macosx dynamic library target in the unix makefile as well, but this was not building for me when I tried it. Actually, if that would work, that could be the preferred method, for various reasons. Macports likes to be able to specify the c++ standard library, for one, overriding xcode if necessary.

Open to thoughts and suggestions.

(here are the missing headers that are in the ./include/ directory but not in the framework's header directory:

CDynamicMeshBuffer.h \
CIndexBuffer.h \
CVertexBuffer.h \
EAttributes.h \
EDeviceTypes.h \
EPrimitiveTypes.h \
EShaderTypes.h \
IBillboardTextSceneNode.h \
IColladaMeshWriter.h \
IDynamicMeshBuffer.h \
IFileArchive.h \
IGUIImageList.h \
IGUITreeView.h \
IGeometryCreator.h \
IIndexBuffer.h \
ILightManager.h \
IRandomizer.h \
ISceneLoader.h \
ISceneNodeAnimatorCameraFPS.h \
ISceneNodeAnimatorCameraMaya.h \
IVertexBuffer.h \
IVolumeLightSceneNode.h \
SVertexIndex.h \
SVertexManipulator.h \
driverChoice.h \
fast_atof.h \
irrpack.h \
irrunpack.h \
path.h

My guess would be - it's just out of date and those headers never got added.
Sorry can't help much with otherwise it as I have no OS X :-(

Hi,

I'm not sure if v1.8.4 works properly on most recent versions of macOS (framework target is definitly outdated), however trunk should work properly. You can check it here: https://sourceforge.net/p/irrlicht/code ... /Irrlicht/ (it has Irrlicht.xcodeproj builded from scratch - in ogl-es branch this project is used for both macOS and iOS), however at now only static libraries are supported.

BTW. Trunk is much better than v1.8.4

Cheers,
