Strangely enough, I tried to perform the build on a 10.8 system, and the generated application does not show that issue once launched from 10.6 oO .

Anyway, that means the provided patch allows a 10.8 build system to generate an application that works on both 10.6 and 10.8 . I did not try on 10.7 .

Thanks. Just to clarify, the provided patch allows you to compile from 10.6 to run in 10.6 too?

The provided patch allows compilation to succeed with 10.6 and 10.8 (10.7 untested but should work).
From what I tested the application built under 10.6 does nothing when launching a game, but the application built under 10.8 (10.7 should be the same) works as expected, even when launched in 10.6.

Dolphin compiles and runs games properly on both my Macs (Lion + ML) with this patch. I can't test compiling/running on SL, though.

I tried to launch Dolphin from a virtual machine and it works (at least with VMWare 4). So now I can test it on both my macs (10.6 and 10.8) and on a vm with 10.7 started from 10.6.

As for the content of the patch, there are two different but related things :

• The first part changes the wxcocoa.h file as if it was generated using the configure script on a 10.6 system : that also works on 10.7 and 10.8 but it is less than ideal (because then some non-standard functions available in 10.7+ but not 10.6 are replaced by wx's custom implementations). Isn't there something similar to configure with CMake ?
• The second part fixes the bundle fixup not working because of write permissions when using a custom build shared library version of wxWidgets. This is a real fix and works when building from command line, but something else is missing for the build to succeed when launched from XCode.

As to why the application displays nothing if built from 10.6, it needs some investigations. Anyway, as some incoming branch will break 10.6's build ability, I don"t think it is that important anymore.

Well, I can finally build a fully working version for 10.6 from 10.6 : following wiki's page 'MacOSX_Build', I built the application using : mkdir build && cd build && cmake [-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=TRUE] [-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-no-integrated-as] .. && make

I should have understood the brackets are here to denote optional parameters... but optional parameters should not have been put in a one-liner ;) !

As it stands, typing the command this way did have a side effect : the -no-integrated-as option is not taken into account, when it is required for 10.6 to work around a problem with clang, as said in the same Wiki page.

So this ticket may be closed, as we now have a fully working version for 10.6 again.

Uh, so was your patch necessary at all?

Yes :

• Without it, the application cannot be build from 10.6
• Without it, the application can be built from 10.7+ but the result then does not work on 10.6

Version 3.0-872 from http://dolphin-emu.org/download/ is now working for me. Thank you!
