[Z88dk-users] Latest CVS fails to build on OS X

Fred · Post by **Fred** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 7:38 am

Hi,
I checked out the latest CVS of z88dk today on Linux and Mac OS X. The
build worked on Linux, but on OS X I get the following error when the
CPC library is building:
z80asm -d -ns -nm -Mo -DFORcpc -xcpc_clib @cpc.lst
file 'graphics/cpc/unplot.o' couldn't be opened or created
7 errors occurred during assembly
make: *** [cpc_clib.lib] Error 1
cp *.lib ../lib/clibs/

The other thing I have noticed in the past is that linker errors (e.g.
undefined symbol) that go to the screen in Linux, don't appear at all on
OS X.

Any ideas?
Fred

Hey Fred,

I checked out the latest CVS of z88dk today on Linux and Mac OS X. The
build worked on Linux, but on OS X I get the following error when the
CPC library is building:
z80asm -d -ns -nm -Mo -DFORcpc -xcpc_clib @cpc.lst
file 'graphics/cpc/unplot.o' couldn't be opened or created
7 errors occurred during assembly
make: *** [cpc_clib.lib] Error 1
cp *.lib ../lib/clibs/

Hmmm, I don't think that should build on linux either, it looks like
unplot has not been committed for the cpc.

There's two ways around it:

1. Don't build the cpc_clib.lib target
2. Edit libsrc/cpc.lst to remove the offending file

The other thing I have noticed in the past is that linker errors (e.g.
undefined symbol) that go to the screen in Linux, don't appear at all on
OS X.

I'll take a look at that at some point.

cheers,

d.

Cool, I've gone for 2 for the moment as I only want to target the Spectrum.

Great! Thanks a lot for your help.

It may be a while, my iBook has decided to blow up its logic board for the
3rd time in a year. Not impressed (again..)

cheers,

It's back, hard drive is toast, but working just about enough to fix the
problem - os x generates temporary names with a '.' in them which causes
all sorts of problems...

cheers,
