Emulator

those atomic operations were added in gcc 4.1 or 4.2 you are using 4.0.1

nothing I can do.

Yuhuu! Compilation works again! nakeee and SonicAdvance, thanks for the tip for installing gcc-4.2. Indeed
this will fix the Atomic library compile error.
In fact if you install Apple's XCode 3.1.x it installs also gcc-4.2!

So I succesfully compiled dolphin svn-3851 on Mac OS X INTEL and it works much better (I get about 60fps on
Super Mario Sunshine) with my iMac 24" Core 2 Duo with ATI Radeon HD2600, before I got about 16fps!!!
Unbelievable!
Instructions here:

1. Install all the prerequirements from Mac OS X Build page (I even updated nvidia cgtoolkit to version 2.2)
2. Install Apple XCode 3.1.3 (free download from http://connect.apple.com ), this will also install "gcc-4.2" in
   /usr/bin/
3. Change root SConstruct (dolphin-emu-read-only/SConstruct) line 122 and 123 to use version 4.2 of gcc
   compiler to read:

('CC', 'The c compiler', 'gcc-4.2'),
('CXX', 'The c++ compiler', 'g++-4.2'),

4. If you get compile error:
   Compiling Build/Darwin-i386-release/Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.o
   Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.cpp: In member function 'virtual bool OpenALStream::Start()':
   Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.cpp:38: error: invalid conversion from 'ALCubyte*' to 'const
   ALCchar*'
   Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.cpp:38: error: initializing argument 1 of 'ALCdevice*
   alcOpenDevice(const ALCchar*)'
   scons: *** [Build/Darwin-i386-release/Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.o] Error 1

This is due to a bad Header linking (the one from openal library on your system). We fix it by just linking it to
the dolphin-emu's openal headers in "Externals" library.It's easy: just change line 30 and 32
Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.h from
elif defined(APPLE)
#include "openal/al.h"
#include "openal/alc.h"
to:
elif defined(APPLE)
#include "../../../../Externals/OpenAL/include/al.h"
#include "../../../../Externals/OpenAL/include/alc.h"

Compile it with 'scons' and it should work (if it crashes just delete your 'User' folder in ~/Library/Application
Support/Dolphin). Then start Dolphin again, configure your "Plugins" from the "Config" Menu, load a game and
it should hopefully work.

So in fact kind dolphin-emu developers should just update:

1. SConstruct (with a condition for APPLE to use gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2
2. Change the line 32-33 of Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.h to use dolphin's OpenAL
   library!

Dear Developers: Can this be done please ? That would be soooo great!

Thank you marc...@cox.net! I second the dev request!

So in fact kind dolphin-emu developers should just update:

1. SConstruct (with a condition for APPLE to use gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2
2. Change the line 32-33 of Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.h to use
   dolphin's OpenAL
   library!

I'll see if i can do something about it :)

Update: To change SConstruct so that Mac OS X should use gcc-4.2 just addd the following lines of code after
line 123 (after vars.AddVariables())

if sys.platform == 'darwin':
vars.AddVariables(
('CC', 'The c compiler', 'gcc-4.2'),
('CXX', 'The c++ compiler', 'g++-4.2') )

Then some kind developer needs just to change line 32-33 of
Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.h as mentioned before

thanks

Please use the following files for building dolphin-svn on Mac OS X (used on svn-3856, it actually works
great! Even Dualcore support works and is very fast indeed. )

1. "SConstruct" > replace it the root of your dolphin-emu-read-only directory... it adds compatibility with the
   Atomic library on Mac OS X (just added code to use gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2, see previous message). You must
   use Apple's XCode 3.1.3 for this (3.1.2 should also be fine)

2. and OpenALStream.h. Copy this file to Source/Core/AudioCommon/Src/OpenALStream.h (it will then use
   dolphin's OpenAL lib instead of Mac OS X)

hope this helps

woops, here's the patch :

where does the patch go and how to use it
