codeblocks project on mac

mingw (windows)
#1

hi ppl.

sorry, i am not really sure where to post this.
there is a xcode and a codeblocks (windows) forum, but no dedicated mac or codeblocks (mac) forum … :wink:

i’d like to use codeblocks with OF on mac. CB works fine - i.e. building templated glut examples, etc.

but i can’t build any openframeworks samples bc there are no proper build files.
so i was trying to compare linux-codeblocks-project-files with codeblocks-on-mac-template-project-files, get info from xcode-projects and merge it into my current project file. now everything compiles but i get linker errors.

…

i am not an experienced mac developer, so i am also not good at reading such messages or finding hints on google/ADC/…
i guess it has something todo with quicktime, but i already linked to “-framework QuickTime”.
what is missing? any defines maybe?
i would like to know if anybody tried this before and maybe also succeeded?!?

thx

hi didi,

I am super curious about this too, because we really like CB on pc / linux. can you upload a zip of a small OF package (libs and app) and I’ll look at it.

take care!

Hi!

I’m also very interested in what you came up with didi? Did you upload the project somewhere? What has been happening on this topic? Anybody got OF running on CB/OSX?

hi cj,

sorry for not replying. i totally forget about this one. i think jesus also wants to know it.
i finally solved it back then. but codeblocks is still a bit annoying on macosx (layout).

i used the linux codeblocks package (of_preRelease_v0.05_linux_cb_FAT) not the xcode one. the ABI should be compatible with macosx/unix.
i am not sure anymore but i think i borrowed the static libs (*.a) and the dynamic libs (*.dylib instead of *.so) from the macosx-xcode project.
the one and only dynamic lib (fmodex) also needs to be put into the bin directory.
i am not sure about the mac frameworks - if i really need all of them - but now it works. another important thing are the defines for the preprocessor.
here is my project file (*.cbp):

a gcc make file should be easy with this.

btw, the initial problem was a stupid. i forgot to compile/link the ofQT* and ofVideo files.
