Trouble Compiling on Mac

[danpaquette]

Hello!

Wondering if you could help me get this working on Mac. I'm not very familiar with C, but I'm getting this error:

make: sdl2-config: Command not found

src/snescity.c:839:4: warning: implicitly declaring library function 'snprintf' with type 'int (char *, unsigned long, const char *, ...)' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

snprintf(ci ? city2 : city1, 17, "%d. %4d %-8s",ci+1,year,name);

src/snescity.c:839:4: note: include the header <stdio.h> or explicitly provide a declaration for 'snprintf'

1 warning generated.

make: sdl2-config: Command not found

src/pngmap.c:3:10: fatal error: 'malloc.h' file not found

#include <malloc.h>

1 error generated.

make: *** [obj/pngmap.o] Error 1

Is this something you could help me with? Thanks in advance!

While I never used MacOS X, it seems like you don't have the SDL2 library installed. Hence the "sdl2-config" executable not being available.

You can either try installing the library or modifying Makefile.cfg to say "SDL_UI=0”, in which case the program will be compiled without a graphical user interface.

Right-o, that was just an PATH problem; got that resolved.

This seems to be more of the issue though:

src/snescity.c:839:4: warning: implicitly declaring library function 'snprintf' with type 'int (char *, unsigned long, const char *, ...)' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
snprintf(ci ? city2 : city1, 17, "%d. %4d %-8s",ci+1,year,name);
src/snescity.c:839:4: note: include the header <stdio.h> or explicitly provide a declaration for 'snprintf'
1 warning generated.
src/pngmap.c:3:10: fatal error: 'malloc.h' file not found
#include <malloc.h>
1 error generated.
make: *** [obj/pngmap.o] Error 1

Clearly both #include <stdio.h> and #include <malloc.h> appear in the correct locations.

I ended up solving this by placing the SDL files and malloc.h in my /usr/includes folder. Not sure if that's the right way to solve this issue or not, but it did compile, albeit with warnings that I set to ignore.

The interface looks like this on Mac: http://imgur.com/a/yilWR

But everything is mostly functional. Unfortunately, the drag and drop doesn't work.

Here's the warnings I get from the compiler: http://imgur.com/a/a79KF

Hope this helps!

Seems like the fonts don't have a transparent bug because of a bug in libSDL-image 2.0. Please update to version 2.0.1, where this issue is fixed.

As for drag-and-drop, seems like it's limited on OS X, and using it requires editing the "info.plist" file, about which I have absolutely no idea.

Looks like I completely forgot about this last issue. I have never used Mac OS and, sadly, have no way of trying to fix that last part :-(
