SFML 2 for OS X comes true!

[Hiura]

It's something very stupid with this GUI... You have to click twice on configure (the first time to generate the cache and the second time to update it with your custom variable value, ie at ). Yeah....

BTW, love firefly too

I think if the option has a red background, it means you should press configure again.

That seemed to work better! Stupid GUI indeed.

Thanks for the help!

Hello,

I've just been noticing one thing after having done a fresh update and install from the Git repository: even if the sndfile binary (in the framework) has execution rights, when install via make install, the installed sndfile binary does no more have execution rights.

I was wondering whether this was normal. I'm not saying it's an issue because I didn't do any testing for now, but usually all libraries and executables have execution rights so...

This is indeed strange...

Does the copied framework still have the standard subfolder with symlinks ? Do applications still run fine or does this rights issue have an impact on them ?

[Ceylo]

Yup the standard subfolders and symlinks are still there, the only missing thing is the execution right.

And testing the Sound sample works fine, and it indeed dynamically loaded the sndfile even without that right (I checked in the Activity Monitor app).

But if this right isn't needed, why all of the libraries are created with it?

[Hiura]

I have no idea. Maybe a Unix expert can highlight us here ?

[Ceylo]

Is there a way to pass parameters to CMake subprojects ?

For example if I want to build frameworks by default instead of dylib? And keep the same architecture as the one I'm building for my own main project (and which isn't the default compiler architecture).




PS: Merry Christmas

[Ceylo]

No way?

I've added SFML as a submodule of one of my projects but I want to use frameworks only, and a default cmake call will build dynamic libraries..

I'm not sure at all. here is my ideas :

- you may be able to use "cmake -D <var>:<type>=<value>" accordingly to cmake help manual. However I never used it so I don't know if it will work or not.

- you can run cmake to generate the default makefile. then you can use sed like this :

Code: [Select]

sed -i 's/BUILD_DOC:BOOL=FALSE/BUILD_DOC:BOOL=TRUE/g' CMakeCache.txt followed by make.

- If you're writing a cmake script you should be able to have the same behavior than with cmake -D with ExternalProject_Add and its CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS argument. (I never wrote cmake script that use external project so I may be completely wrong.)

Doing this means I would also need to manually do the build step (calling make or any other command according to any OS and IDE..) as this won't include the SFML build in the project file generated for my library. And I would like everything to be included in this project.

- you can run cmake to generate the default makefile. then you can use sed like this :

Code: [Select]

sed -i 's/BUILD_DOC:BOOL=FALSE/BUILD_DOC:BOOL=TRUE/g' CMakeCache.txt followed by make.

Here the issue is sed is for Unix only. What about people running CMake-gui on Windows?

- If you're writing a cmake script you should be able to have the same behavior than with cmake -D with ExternalProject_Add and its CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS argument. (I never wrote cmake script that use external project so I may be completely wrong.)

Looks like the most promising solution but.. it'll unfortunately result in the following error:

Code: [Select]

loading initial cache file /Users/ceylo/Development/sfeMovie/deps/SFML/tmp/SFML-cache.cmake
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    /Users/ceylo/Development/sfeMovie/deps/SFML/src/SFML/cmake/Macros.cmake


CMake Error at System/CMakeLists.txt:76 (sfml_add_library):
  Unknown CMake command "sfml_add_library".
For some reason ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} is incorrectly set to
/Users/ceylo/Development/sfeMovie/deps/SFML/src/SFML
instead of
/Users/ceylo/Development/sfeMovie/deps/SFML

For now I don't know why.

[Hiura]

Sorry but I don't know the answer; I don't have enough experience with CMake. Maybe Laurent or someone else might be able to help you though.

[Laurent]

Yes... what's the problem? :lol:

Ok I've found it above, but I don't really understand what the problem is.

[Ceylo]

I understand, and I actually wrote the post so that someone that would know more about CMake could answer.

Well.. why is ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} incorrectly set ? When running cmake independently to build SFML it's ok, but not when using the external project feature.

I've written the following to get SFML built with my library:

Code: [Select]

include(ExternalProject)
ExternalProject_Add(SFML
    PREFIX "deps/SFML"
    CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS -DBUILD_FRAMEWORKS:BOOL=TRUE)

[Laurent]

I don't know anything about the "external project" feature of CMake. But you should be able to include SFML in your source tree as a simple sub-directory, you don't need fancy CMake stuff.
