Another Xcode problem or incomplete CVS?

by David Janik-Jones · in Torque Game Engine · 04/07/2004 (2:47 am) · 2 replies

OK, so I followed the directions for compiling under Xcode and OSX to the letter. Compiled it to the "example" directory so that the .app file and the pb_build folder both end up in that directory. All of the directories seem to be correct in the example directory that I pulled down in CVS.

But when it compiles on the Mac (10.3.3, Xcode 1.1), I get a successful run with 38 duplicate file (variable?) names but otherwise OK.

But when I try to run the .app (executable) program file I get a spinning beach ball and it never starts. I see the name of the application in the menu bar, but the beach ball just spins and spins, never starting the program.

An investigation into the console log shows it compiling/running everything perfectly, except for the following errors ...

--------- Loading MODS ---------
Missing file: common/defaults.cs!

--------- Initializing MOD: FPS Starter Kit ---------
Missing file: starter.fps/data/terrains/scorched/propertyMap.cs!

--------- Initializing MOD: FPS Starter Kit: Client ---------
Missing file: starter.fps/client/ui/QuitGui.gui!
Unable to locate audio profile 'AudioStartup'

I've looked through the /example directory and these files DO NOT EXIST. Is this the result of another CVS pulldown error? Does anyone have these files in their CVS pull? Is it an error not showing up in the actual compiling stage?

This is extremely frustrating not being able to compile this thing after a week of trying. Any Mac programmers out who know Xcode well want to give me some help? Or when can I ask for my money back?

Thanks.

Don't crosspost : people will actually ignore you if you do that :) (edit : the second thread looks like it's been removed)

David,

I got the 38 warnings also, but the program ran OK.

Some pitfalls :

Have you change the executable building directory to "../examples" ?
Have you installed the OpenAudio drivers ? ( maybe this since you got a problem locating the AudioStartup profile )

HTH

Nicolas,

Why is David's post a crosspost ? Where should it been posted ?

Best Regards
