Sty patch help...

[Bottle]

I used the search function at the top, but I couldn't find anything on how to apply the patch and compiling it, so I have a couple of questions:
What is compiling, and how do I do it? (I'm on Leopard, Mac)

When it's compiled and patched, does the DC run a shooting server as well? If not how do I patch that?

Thanks in advance, and sorry, you people must get this a lot here...

edit: I can get up to the "copy the your_mum directory" part of the wiki, but I'm not sure how to do that, exactly.

And when I get to the end of "make", it says:

In file included from tools/tDirectories.cpp:72:
./tUniversalVariables.h:2: error: stray ‘#’ in program
In file included from tools/tDirectories.cpp:72:

./tUniversalVariables.h:5: error: stray ‘#’ in program
./tUniversalVariables.h:7:2: error: #endif without #if
./tUniversalVariables.h:8: error: stray ‘#’ in program

And then about 100 lines more of this. then:

./tUniversalVariables.h:106:2: error: #endif without #if
./tUniversalVariables.h:1: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘-’ token

...help?

On Mac OSX you are supposed to use xcode to build armagetron, that's the only recomended method of building arma on Mac

[ivantis]

mac has automake. bzr the sty thingy (theres bzr on mac, right?), and do bootstrap.sh, automake, make. thats it, right? i did it on ubuntu like that i think

[Bottle]

Isn't there just a list of commands I can Copy and Paste into the console?

I can run it off my HP, but I'd prefer not to. What do I have to do to patch it on Vista if needed? And Does V3 make any difference?

[epsy]

Please read the README-Subversion file at the OSX building part, it's all explained there

[Bottle]

Where can I find that?

Sorry for pestering.

in the same directory than where you're typing 'make' desperately

[Bottle]

It still says the same error code. ;__;

Is there a pre-patched version that I can just download/ask for?

[Z-Man]

No.

It gives the same error code because you're still using the generic Unix way of building; that does not work for OSX. You need to use XCode.

[zoidberg]

yeah
use Xcode. I have yet to try it (i have a mac too) but I tried with gcc and got a bunch of missing library errors, installed like, a million libraries and then got some fatal code errors... It was a BIG headache.

mac, unfortunately, doesn't utilize the unix system as well as it should... Then again, I guess it wouldn't be proprietary if it did...
"show me the money!"

mac os x is based on freebsd, but it doesnt have the same installing stuff. someone should port the gcc to mac os x.

That's already been done. Not only that, Apple is a contributor and sponsor of gcc.

[ivantis]

then why is it so hard on os x to compile it?

[Lucifer]

Because you're not using Xcode, and we haven't made any GNU autotools support for arma on Mac OS X.
