TheIDE on MAC OSX Sierra - X11 [message #47562]

Hi,

I managed to run theide on Mac OsX Sierra, in X11 mode, and compile and run a gui application (always in X11 mode).
Just some small problems with the makefile, which I patched manually, because of wrong placement of X11 and freetype files on MAC.

For reference, you need these path for include files :

/opt/X11/include
/opt/X11/include/freetype2

and for the library :

/opt/X11/lib

As builder I've choosen CLANG, don't forget to select "shared libs" options (-static is not supported on MAC) and to add above paths also in include and libs tabs.

Here a picture of Puzzle example running on top of theide :

index.php?t=getfile&id=5189&private=0

Ciao

Max

Edit : I followed points 1..4 from

http://www.ultimatepp.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=9339 &goto=44897&#msg_44897

but using latest tarball and snv source tree for upp folder.
The only small difficulties are the makefiles patches (just insert include and libs near the already existing X11 ones...),
a small patch to core/TimeDate.cpp (just insert an #include <time.h> on top) and the manual filling of builder.

Hi

We are trying to improve this.

Do you have pkg-config installed? If so, make should find X11 includes out of the box. Without pkg-config, it will search X11 libraries in a few locations (mainly Linux default locations) and make will warn you that build will certainly fail. Same thing for libraries locations.

Did you use the last X11/POSIX snapshot from here http://www.ultimatepp.org/www$uppweb$nightly$en-us.html or did you get U++ from another source?

Yep, pkg-config is installed, but the folders were not detected... I don't know why.
And yep, I used the latest posix tarball from your link.

If 'pkg-config --variable=pcfiledir x11' doesn't give you x11.pc location or if x11.pc content is wrong than this explains why it didn't find x11 includes and libraries automatically.

Anyways, now it works here.
It was a bit cumbersome to add framework libraries, but my test app works, and it needed no changes, besides my bazaar
serial port library that now supports OSX too:

index.php?t=getfile&id=5190&private=0
