Talk:Compiling the viewer (Mac OS X)

Mozilla

I'm a bit confused about the Mozilla lib dependency--perhaps if someone knew what was actually required to be compiled (even if it would be somewhat difficult) we could at least try. :-) Thanks. David Frantisek 19:55, 8 January 2007 (PST)

Problems with directions

It seems like there are a couple places here where problems are created because of the use of "../.." I'm not all that familiar with use of the terminal, but I think this puts you in your home directory, which is okay as long as that's the top-level of your project, but not if the top-level is ~/Desktop or somewhere else entirely.

Curl

In the download of the SL libs, header files for Curl are included. Is this something that should is also required for a succesful build? Thanks. David Frantisek 19:57, 8 January 2007 (PST)

OpenJPEG

At least on my Macbook Pro, the latest (1.1) version of OpenJPEG would not compile, giving the error "make: *** No rule to make target `libopenjpeg/fix.o', needed by `libopenjpeg.a'. Stop.". Downloading the 1.0 version and following the instructions worked fine. Phineas Pegler 22:48, 8 January 2007 (EST)

I had the same experience, although I didn't try the 1.0 version - thanks for the suggestion :-) David Frantisek 00:21, 12 January 2007 (PST)

Compiling/Running on OS X

I have the client successfully built and running on my Macbook Pro running 10.4.8 and XCode 2.2.1, using the linden library tarball. The only stumbling block is that it would not run using the "Development" build configuration, only under the "Deployment" config. Running under "Development" crashed on startup within Freetype, with a EXC_BAD_ACCESS. Phineas Pegler 15:48, 11 January 2007 (EST)

How does it run compared to the Linden Labs' release? David Frantisek 00:22, 12 January 2007 (PST)

Even slower. I'll pop in some more memory and see if that helps. Phineas Pegler 10:06, 12 January 2007 (EST)
