Emulator

I'll take any instructions you wanna give, such as patches or basic modifications,
that don't require me to know how to directly write new code or understand internal
programming concepts. One other guy and I did port Mupen64 0.5.1 to MacOS a year
ago, and I'm involved in mupen64plus on MacOS, so I do okay. Thanks!

Hi,
I laucn dolphin on osx 10.5.3.
Just the opengl plugin can't compile.

sorry, not 10.5.3 but 10.5.4

I looked at the error in the first post, revision 100 should fix that. As for the GL
plugin, that's going to take a bit more work.

Nice,

next error :

To correcte this, add :

#include "pthread.h"

in Thread.h

Next error, in Source/Core/Common/Src/CPUDetect.cpp;
replace

#ifdef __linux
//#include <config/i386/cpuid.h>
#include <xmmintrin.h>
void __cpuid(int info[4], int x) {}

by

#ifndef _WIN32
//#include <config/i386/cpuid.h>
#include <xmmintrin.h>
void __cpuid(int info[4], int x) {}

You should come on to the IRC chatroom on efnet(irc.efnet.net #dolphin-emu)
I'm usually active there and it would be easier to get fixes to me.

Here the diff

When compiling Dolphin rev 179 on Mac OS X 10.5, I get compile errors. The errors fall into two groups:

1. One of the SConscript files adds a link flag for Cairo, which is unneeded and causes the link to fail if Cairo
   is not installed.
2. The GL renderer tries to use GLX to set up the GL window. However, the GLX symbols are not found when
   linking.

What I did to solve 1 is remove Cairo from the list of libs to link against. To solve 2, I added a
"defined(APPLE)" check in the code, so there are three versions: DirectX (Windows), AGL (Mac) and GLX
(everything else). I did not implement AGL calls to set up the window though, so there is no way this is
actually going to run, but at least it links.

I attached a patch. I think the removal of Cairo from the link options is safe. Whether the GLX changes are a
good idea depends on whether it is actually possible to run Dolphin over GLX on OS X. In the long run, using
AGL is the way to go, but I am unsure of what the right decision is for the short term.

The about box doesn't work on my machine. Trying to open it via the menu does nothing. Trying to open it via
the toolbar causes a bus error (read from invalid address). The latter is solved by adding an Info.plist file to the
app folder. I'll try to add generation of the Info.plist file to the SCons build system; if I succeed, I'll post a patch.

I managed to generate the Info.plist metadata file from the SConscript. Please see attached patch.

I also attached a temporary icon file: it works, but it only contains low-res versions of the icon, while Mac icons
also need hi-res images to look good in all places they are used. The full path of the icon should be
"Source/Core/DolphinWX/resources/Dolphin.icns".

rev 182 mth patches an first SDL/OGL video plugin.

Thanks to mth for icon and better OSX integration

tmator: I don't know if you still saw this bit on IRC. About creating a GL window using SDL:
is the returned "screen" null?
that's what SDL does if it cannot find a proper video mode
try passing 0 as the bits per pixel
it means you accept the window system default
maybe the problem is that 24 means not only 8 bits for RGB, but no padding byte
most framebuffers use 32bpp: 24 for colours and 8 unused (for alignment only)
so changing 24 to 32 might also help

now scons can compile dolphin on macosx is it still an issue?

As of rev 946, the following error occurs:

Additionally, this error occurs if I use set nowx=true on the build.

Still can't compile on OSX as of revision 1313, I believe I have:

This problem has been the same for quite a few revisions now.

both errors were fixed.
It compiles now on osx 32 bit
we are working on cocoa
