hgmmaster/4.6.0 mac compile issues

[Josh Pettus]

HI,

I tried compiling the hgmaster branch and the 4.6.0cvs build in macOSX and they compiled successfully but I noticed a couple problems within both.

xboard continually spews

Code: Select all

Warning: No type converter registered for '(null)' to 'FontSet' conversion.

this is also perhaps why all font in xboard looks suddenly different in this version.

here are some comparisons.

xboard hgmaster/4.6.0cvs


xboard 4.5.3


You will also notice that for some reason when a second engine is started the second engines clock always reverts to the maximum time possible to input in xboard. This is for both classical and incremental modes.

Of course none of this happens in Ubuntu.

Hello,

i will be interested to know how you have compiled xboard for mac
I use the installer 4.5.3 for mac to play with it
i have compile Danasah 4.24 and the life is better

Regards
NaltaP;)

The clock problem should be solved in the latest version. The font stuff is a bit beyond my expertise.

[Josh Pettus]

Yah I noticed, that's good. Thanks! For some reason now, the font stuff doesn't keep repeating and flooding the terminal. So now its become a very minor problem.

[Josh Pettus]

I noticed a new bug, when typing in terminal to launch a wb engine. eg
"xboard -fcp crafty"

-fUCI is automatically invoked causing the engine to fail with "not a UCI engine."

[H.G.Muller]

Oh, I must have missed this post.

This can only be because you configured it wrong (i.e. have a -fUCI in the xboard.conf master settings file).

[Josh Pettus]

Yah must have been, it has been since overwritten with another installer and is now working. Thank-you though

New issue when compiling on 10.8 it cant find the Intrinsic.h header for some reason. Its in the place it should be /usr/X11/include/X11 but for some reason it's not finding it
could this be a permissions issue?

[edit]
never mind, the more i look into it the more it appears to be an OS 10.8 issue. what a pain... still havn't figured it out

Apperently I have to set the correct path to the compiler for X11. What a pain that apple no longer ships with X11 and I must jump through these hoops.
Xcode doesn't even include automake anymore and had to install that via mac ports

Code: Select all

export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include

I've been trying to compile the master branch for a while now, but for some reason it fails because ./configure doesn't detect NLS which I take is part of the gettext.
which I have.

Disabling NLS doesn't seem to fix it as some things in the code appear to require it. What else do I need to pass the NLS check?

{edit} changed thread title as it stopped being about a bugs a long time ago

[Josh Pettus]

I really don't get it as you can see i have msgfmt, gmsgfmt, xgettext, and msgmerge. is it the not finding gettext in libc and libintl? why would it not be in there? how do i get it in there?

[Josh Pettus]

Well forgetting that NLS fails to enable, i guess the bug is that variable is suppose to be "clockFontStruct" not "clockFonStruct" on line 1457

When i changed that Xboard.c compiles but then i get a new error on xoptions.c

Code: Select all

xoptions.c: In function ‘GenericPopUp’:
xoptions.c:886: error: aggregate value used where an integer was expected
make[2]: *** [xoptions.o] Error 1

looks to be an issue with the compiler included with the new xcode...
