Author Topic: Xcode and SFML2 (Read 6445 times)

Hi Everyone,

Pardon me for being a total noob. :-)

Anyways, I downloaded the latest SFML from SVN. (BTW, the sndfile.framework is corrupted (?) in the SVN version. I fixed the symlinks and it still has problems. I ended up using the 1.6 version instead)

So, I created the Xcode project using CMake. I built the library and ran the "install" config (as admin). It put the files in their appropriate locations (usr/local/include/SFML, usr/local/lib)

However, how do I setup a project in Xcode? When I ended up doing was creating a project with the 1.6 template and removing the 1.6 sfml frameworks and adding the new dylib's. I made sure the headers were in the search path. However, nothing works. How do I go about setting up a project in Xcode?

Thanks for your help!

Perhaps I wasn't descriptive enough :-)

I recreated a new project. Since the headers and libraries have already been copied to /usr/local/lib and the headers are in /usr/local/include/SFML, Xcode seems to recognize it. I added the dylib's (add existing framework) into my project: libsfml-audio.dylib, libsfml-graphics.dylib, libsfml-network.dylib, libsfml-system.dylib, and libsfml-window.dylib.

Then I created a RenderWindow as a test. And this is what I get when I try the compile:

Code: [Select]


Undefined symbols:
  "sf::RenderWindow::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, unsigned long, sf::WindowSettings const&)", referenced from:
      _main in main.o
ld: symbol(s) not found

I even added /usr/local/lib to my library and framework search paths and /usr/local/include/SFML to my header search paths. Same problem...

It just errors out at this line:

Code: [Select]


sf::RenderWindow app(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML");

Thanks for anyone who can help...

You usually shouldn't point it to /usr/local/include/SFML, as the includes are done with #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp> etc.

I haven't used XCode, but do make sure you include the libraries in the correct order.

Does the compiler says something about a wrong or missing architecture before displaying the undefined symbols?

Thanks guys for your replies!

@devlin

I agree. I added the references to the search paths out of desperation, but it didn't make any difference. So I removed them.

@Ceylo

You bring up a good point. Apparently I compiled the libraries on my native architecture (x86_64). When I switch my configuration to compile at x86_64, I still get the same undefined symbols error. Obviously, when I switch it to a different architecture, I get the "file was built for unsupported file format..." error.

Let me try and rebuild the libraries in the standard 32/64 bit format and see if that helps. I will repost with the results.

You may just build your app for x86_64 architecture only. It's much easier (but I dunno whether you need to provide a universal app right now).

It appears to be the same error...

I just downloaded a fresh copy of SFML from SVN. Did the whole cmake deal. Compiled just fine and put the new libraries into /usr/local/lib, etc...
This time with the standard 32/64 bit. Though I agree with you, it would be easier just to do my native architecture. I didn't create a new project though, I just took my test project and remove/added the new libraries. (Just to be safe) And did a clean rebuild. Ah well...

So, not sure what else to try now. I could recompile with 64 bit and create a new project again... I'll probably do that later. Any other ideas?

I dunno how you did this but... you should try to do the standard cmake build, with no specific option and just build your app for the x86_64 architecture ONLY.

I didn't read everything but did you use the step described here to create your project ? (Maybe it not complete enough and I should update it.)

@ceylo @Hiura

Thank you guys! Anyways, I finally got it working. Though the only way I was able to was to copy the dylib's into the project itself and added a build phase to copy it to the products directory.

Hiura, darn I should have read the forums more thoroughly. Those were the instructions I was looking for.

Per your instructions, how do you do a sudo make install? I tried to do that but I couldn't find the make files anywhere. Do I do a sudo cmake install? What I ended up doing was running Xcode as root (I know, bad bad) but I was able to build the dylibs and put them into /usr/local.

That means you configured cmake to produce a project for Xcode, right ?
To run 'sudo make install' you have to set the target to Makefile.
In fact you only need Xcode for your project and not to compile SFML.

@Hiura

I didn't know that you had to use the Unix make files instead of the Xcode project in CMake. Let me give that a try.

Thanks!
