I'm trying to build a open source game called SuperTuxKart on Mac OS X 10.10, following the official instruction.

However, when I typed "cmake .. -DUSE_CPP2011=1" or "cmake .. -GXcode", I got error message:
failed to create symbolic link 'lib/libpng.pc': No such file or directory
failed to create symbolic link 'lib/libpng-config': No such file or directory

I have installed libpng1.6 by homebrew.
I have no idea how to love the problem.
Did anyone build STK on Mac OS X 10.10 successfully?

You probably don't need to install libpng because STK compiles its own version of this library on OSX. I had this error few times when I was experimenting with building it on different platforms or using different compilers, but I don't remember the reason

This maybe means that the CMake builds system catches your libpng and tries to use it, it's a bit hard to tell since I don't have this issue oh my mac - could you perhaps post the full cmake log?

You can probably just remove these lines from stk-code/lib/libpng/CMakeLists.txt:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

  configure_file(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/libpng.pc.in
    ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${PNGLIB_NAME}.pc @ONLY)
  CREATE_SYMLINK(${PNGLIB_NAME}.pc libpng.pc)

  configure_file(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/libpng-config.in
    ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${PNGLIB_NAME}-config @ONLY)
  CREATE_SYMLINK(${PNGLIB_NAME}-config libpng-config)


It looks like it is not able to generate these files or can't create the symlinks for some reason. But we don't need them for anything. Or you can try to use different cmake version.

Thanks for reply.

Even though I uninstall my system libpng, the error of symbolic link still shows.
But it disappears by removing the 6 lines from stk-code/lib/libpng/CMakeLists.txt.

However there is another problem about OpenMP_FLAG_DETECTED. Below is my cmake log:

Well the blocking issue here seems to be that you don't have FreeType and Fribidi, or they are not where the buildsystem expects them.

After I downloaded the pre-build dependencies(DepsFrameworks0.9.2.zip) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/supertuxkart/files/SuperTuxKart%20Dependencies/OSX/) and put them to /Library/Frameworks , the Xcode project can be generated. However when I used Xcode to build, the following warnings shows and followed by a lot of error messages.

Can you try a regular command-line build (no XCode) ? This is what we usually use, and the generated XCode projects are untested
