Issue about Startup Crash of STK, compiled on Mac OSX 1.6

[Klinux]

Hey guys,

When I first successfully compiled the source, I thought I made it.

But after awhile, opps, Program received signal "EXC_BAD_ACCESS"...

the information from GDB:

a lot of warnings such as
...

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

warning: Could not find object file "/Users/mmg/Desktop/fribidi/build/fribidi.build/Release/fribidi.build/Objects-normal/i386/fribidi-char-sets.o" - no debug information available for "/Developer/libs/fribidi-0.19.2/charset/fribidi-char-sets.c".


after "run"

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

For the code, I directly downloaded it from the home page, not svn, since it seems there are something wrong with the Xcode Project file. And also I installed irrlicht r3843.

after a long time searching and jumping among different forums, I still cannot fix the problem, so can anybody help me out of this?

Thanks a lot..

Hi,

in gdb, when you reach the point where it crashed, please enter the 'bt' command (without quotes) to get a backtrace

Now you seem to mention you installed irrlicht yourself. The build system of STK on OSX pretty much assumes that you will be using the official dependency pack, so I'm not sure what happens when you install irrlicht yourself in a separate location. This error could be a mismatch between the versions of the irrlicht headers used and the irrlicht library linked in, though with a backtrace I would be more sure

Thanks for the reply Auria,
for the info after type bt in gdb:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

actually, to install irrlicht r3843 is the most suggested solution that I found, when I compile the project with official dependency and a lot errors came out.

And I also tried to compile it by using cmake, and link errors:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

ld: framework not found IrrFramework

hmm you did download the dependency pack, and install the frameworks inside it? this should have placed a folder called IrrFramework.framework in /<hard disk>/Library/Frameworks. Check if this file does exist?

[Klinux]

Sure, at beginning, I followed the steps on the official website using cmake, but it doesn't work.. so I try to compile it in other way.

for the Frameworks I installed:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

Thanks.

Unfortunately I just tested building with CMake on my OSX 10.6 system and it all worked out of the box, so I'm not sure what is different for you can you check if the symlinks (aliases) inside the framework are ok? that's the only thing that comes to my mind

[Klinux]

Hi Auria, actually, after that I tried a clean compiling, and it works now. Thank you and thanks for your patient.
