MacOSX codeblocks compiling

[netpipe]

i was wondering if anyone knows how to compile irrlicht on macosx using codeblocks. sofar i was only able to compile the demo's in CB after compiling them with the irrlicht lib created from xcode.

things to try -lobjc -fobjc-arc -x objective-c



add this to your example.cbp to compile the demos


<Target title="Mac">
<Option platforms="Mac;" />
<Option output="../../bin/Mac/HelloWorld" prefix_auto="0" extension_auto="0" />
<Option type="1" />
<Option compiler="gcc" />

oh also add
#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>
#include <CoreFoundation/CFBundle.h>
#include <CoreFoundation/CFString.h>

I was able to compile irrlicht 1.8.5 with codeblocks only on macosx using clang i did have to comment out archive loading and some zlib files that were still there after.

modified the compilers section to point the llvm-ar path to just ar

the first example use the "example copy.cbp" file hello world , software render does not work but opengl does. also the example has to be ran afterwards manually because the play button on codeblocks does not work.

viewtopic.php?p=306688#p306688 here is luna engine compiled for osx https://github.com/netpipe/Luna/releases/tag/osx

the weird part is one windows and linux the FPS weapon scene node works fine but on osx it requires a click to move also wasd dont seem to be working.

actually must be my compile its working on my first demo but not my other one. will look into it

[netpipe]

if the app is not launched from a app container properly the mouse and keyboard wont work only the terminal gets the input for now. it seems SExposedVideoData.h is missing macosx

If you have patches - I'm pretty accepting when it comes to OSX (aka - unless something seems suspect I usually apply them and hope other OSX users will figure out if something is wrong). I'm even pretty open to getting another OSX maintainer as we don't really have anyone dedicated to it right now.

this needs to be added to all the demos aswell as a sample app folder with the medias in it. the media goes into the example.app/media folder

Hm, copying all media is bad. Can't it be done like other platforms? So Output something like ../../bin/OSX (or maybe ../../bin/OSX_cb) and then it finds media with usual relative ../../media? You seemed to do that in your first post.

[netpipe]

if we zip whole media folder then its 7mb per demo or since each demo only uses one or 2 models max put the copy commands for each demos media in the copy command <ExtraCommands> section. if we dont put the whole thing in example.app container it wont run the demos properly, (not finding textures) not able to use mouse/keyboard.

Copy on build is fine - that wouldn't be in source-control. But having real copies of media is bad. Not just because of space (thought that's part of it), but we would have to keep media folders synced from there on which raises the maintenance costs.
There's usually some copy on change commands (like on bash it would be: cp -u) so first build on users system would have some extra copy, but from there on it wouldn't be too bad. But I don't remember right now how that worked inside C::B (I'm pretty sure I did that before, but just did go over my projects and not finding it anymore).

Well, if it's a problem then let's just keep on refering people to your posts here.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... 981n5FJTpV here is a link for codeblocks on intel macs, makes it easier to compile irrlicht.cbp with mac target on newer os's like big sur also we can run the bianry's without containers now it seems so no need to modify the examples much now. (might put together a proper mac cb version soon)

ps had to install and point linker search path to brews libpng directory to compile demos
