[1.2] [OS X+Xcode]-Builds OK, Does Not Run ???

Hi,

I am trying to port my SDL1.2+OpenGL game:
LettersFall 2
to Mac OS X 10.6.2…

I installed Xcode and have the game building OK on it.

When I run the built executable I get the following error:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
Referenced from:
/Library/Frameworks/SDL_ttf.framework/Version/A/SDL_ttf
Reason: image not found

Do not know how to fix this…
Any help would be appreciated!

Also, do I need to place something in the executable’s folder
for SDL1.2, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf ?
( like DLL’s on Windows® )

I need some information about your system. Please open Terminal.app
and do the following:
ls -l /usr
(Please paste the results. I am looking for the directories X11R6 and X11)

Assuming you have these directories, do this for each:
ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype*

ls -l /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype*

Paste the results for each case.

Also, do I need to place something in the executable’s folder
for SDL1.2, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf ?
( like DLL’s on Windows® )

You need to put the .frameworks you use (SDL.framework,
SDL_ttf.framework) in your .app bundle. You’ll need to solve the
freetype problem first though.

This video shows how to do it for OpenSceneGraph. Same concept for
SDL. (SDL is a bit easier because there is less stuff.

JeZ-Lees-Mac:~ jezlee$ ls -l /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype*
ls: /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype*: No such file or directory

Just so I have all the information I may need (especially if this
happens to somebody else in the future), please tell me the output of:
ls -l /usr/X11/include/

ls -l /usr/X11/lib

And finally, do you have X11.app in /Applications/Utilities
(You can use Finder to find this one)
If you do, open it an run it. Does it install anything to your system?
Does libfreetype* appear on your system afterwards?

So the problem is obvious. You don’t have freetype installed on your
system. I think you did a custom install and deselected the X11
package from the optional packages when you installed Snow Leopard.
Did you do this? If so, that’s your problem.

Freetype is an X11 component that SDL_ttf depends on. If you did do a
standard install and you don’t have it, we have a much bigger and
harder problem to solve because all my distribution assumptions assume
this is installed by default. So I really hope you tell me you
deselected X11.

So if you did avoid installing X11, then please find your Snow Leopard
DVD and install that package. Then please rerun:
ls -l /usr

The other piece of the puzzle is that I’m hoping Apple (still?)
creates a symlink between X11R6 and X11. If this doesn’t happen, we
have a secondary problem.

Hi,

Thank you.
I got it working with the help of an OS X programmer.

Actually, I was hoping you would report back on those things I asked
because it may be useful information for us to make better decisions
about the packaging assumptions in the future.

At the very least, does Apple automatically create a symlink for X11R6 to X11?

Eric,

My install of OS X 10.6 is not quite untouched, as I have xcode and a
couple of libraries I compiled myself. I do not believe that any of
those compiles changed anything in the X11 directories. I know I did
not change them manually.

On both my machines, X11 is symlinked to X11R6, and there is a
libfreetype.dylib in the lib directory.

I’m not certain if the initial install put the X11 libraries on, or if
installing xcode was when it came in. Unfortunately, I’ve done
development on all my machines, so I don’t have a pure install to give
you data from.

Thanks for the information. Is your Snow Leopard an upgrade install
from an older version of the OS or did your machine start with Snow
Leopard?
