greetings whogben it was reported by BRL that BMAX wont link in a GCC 4.0 compiled lib (or so they thought) which would explain the linker errors i was getting. i dont know if thats the actual case though. im wondering now if MacOSX has a loadlibrary type function and if so, i might be able to load it at runtime.

nothing as of yet, but i did confirm several questions.

i confirmed through BRL that gcc4 is not yet support as i suspected. i found a legacy install for xcode but it did not install gcc3.3. i confirmed via niko @Irrlicht that v1.0 release was not yet formatted for Mac.

still in progress i guess

I don't know what would be causing that problem, except that maybe it only has the latest gcc? Look in the apple support downloads perhaps for earlier stuff. Will try the 1.0 irrlicht in the future - but it might be that we just have to wait for a working version.

I'm not sure what v1.0 you mean? I can take a crack at compiling whatever it is though - I had no problems compiling Irrlicht0.14

hmmmm. where do i start. ironic that you posted yesterday as i just received my mini yesterday it just happens to be a pretty good time for it to arrive as the windows box that its replacing is idle until monday so i have a few days to get the dual boot working. obviously the first thing i tried though was Irrlicht so heres the scoop:

i installed xcode off my mini CD and then did the OS update to 10.4.6. i downloaded Irrlicht v1.0 and tried to compile the xcode project. this resulted in a few hundred errors all of which were related to OpenGL. the framework was included in the project so im not sure whats up. i did some searching online and found that instead of including like , to include like in xcode. so i started that and ended up with 3000+ errors. yay i was extremely disappointed since reports about the v0.14 build were that it built right out of the box. i was so disgruntled i went on to Boot Camp and installing XP.

XP installed but unfortunately i didnt have the required "SP2 included" version. i thought i wouldnt need it since i had the SP2 seperate download, but apparently SP2 will not install because it incorrectly detects the remaining HD space and thinks there is not enough room to back up the install. this really ticked me off because SP1 allowed you to skip the backup whereas SP2 does not. anyways, i didnt get XP up and running either. needless to say at this point i was _not_ having a good night.

so as i was stewing on my sofa, i thought... gee. the Irrlicht v0.14 for mac is probably still available for download. so right before bed i downloaded and compiled. worked right out of the box. so there is hope, i just need more time to work on it. hopefully i can do a comparison of the two projects as well and figure out why the v1.0 doesnt build.

this morning, i remembered my MSDN subscription i could download an XP ISO with SP2 included. so hopefully tonight i can reinstall and get that working. things are a little brighter

so, i guess if anyone wants to take a crack at compiling v1.0 and filling me in on how to fix it, i would be much appreciative

not yet but i have not forgotten or given up. i worked some side projects on contract and made enough to get me a new mac mini off ebay for around $400US. this will allow me to build using OSX10.4 so hopefully i can get it all worked out then. contract $$$ arent due till early may so i would look to late may/early june unless someone with Xcode 1.5 miraculously manages to get me a working Irrlicht project. too bad really cause i spent close to $200 getting the iMac up and running not to mention the countless hours trying to get it to work. oh well comes with the territory.
