greetings! I am trying to build research code written in (templated) c++, size is approximately ~15K lines. the code was never been tested on a mac, not to mention snow leopard. I have the guarantee that it compiles + builds for win + linux. Project was a collaborative effort and unfortunately I am stuck without a makefile =P and with the ugly *.vcproj file.
Note that I did not use an automated ruby script I found for the translation of *.vcproj to makefile, since the script only handled the basics -> no pre/post-build steps or file-specific flags are included; instead, I translated from scratch to CMakelists and then converted to makefile. not that tricky as it sounds.. So, assuming the problem is w/ the makefile, why do I have a clean makefile during the configuration/generation steps? Note that I choose to generate Unix makefile, not an xcode project. So I 've successfully translated the *.vcproj file into a makefile, fixed a few issues, linked to external libs, but the build w/ make fails and I get i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1: g++: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/.../.../...cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/.../.../all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 which, honestly, I don't remember seeing before -> complaining about g ++ I mean and not missing file or dir. Note that g++ *is* in place, I can successfully compile other programs. I am stuck a few hours now and I suspect (or better hope) that the problem is sth similar to the typical 32-bit/64-bit problem in mac ports. I tried w/ -arch i386 -m32 flags without any luck, so I 'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas.. I guess there are parts of the code need to be re-written especially for OS X SL, but I cannot figure out the problem since the failing error is not descriptive enough When I build a xcodeproj (with g++ flag -arch i386), I get: lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/folders/9b/ 9b2CWG5gHvCi5hawjO4o5E+++TI/-Tmp-//ccXHDX6t.out Command /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1 When I build a xcodeproj (with g++ flag -arch x86_64), I get: setenv LANG en_US.US-ASCII /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -x c++ -arch x86_64 -fmessage-length=0 - pipe -Wno-trigraphs -fpascal-strings -fasm-blocks -O0 -mdynamic-no- pic -DCMAKE_INTDIR="Debug" -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk - mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -gdwarf-2 -Wmost -Wno-four-char-constants - Wno-unknown-pragmas //... ... i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1: g++: No such file or directory Command /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1 all cryptic to me.. Finally, although developing on a mac, I do not use Cocoa(/xcode) that uses otool to find any required shared libraries. So from the command line I don't have to care about otool and instead use the ldd thanks for any help! ps. note that I am building from command line without xcode and the -pedantic flag I use is not the reason of the failure _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
