Strange output after a successfull(?) compile of my SDL game.

[RHLinuxGUY]

Thanks to the help of One Sad Cookie and akb825, I was able to successfully comile and run a small SDL app. Now afterwards I compiled a large, but only one file application that I made for my Linux desktop to take keyboard input, and output it into a img for that peticular character.

I will tar ball the relatively small package for anyone who would care to jump in and do their best to see what the problem is?

The program was compiled and ran fine under Gentoo Linux with gcc 3.4.6, it also compiled fine with just warnings about the main parameters not being used, using the followin commands:

gcc -c SDLMain.m -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers -o SDLMain.o

g++ -g -c myfont_engine.cc -W -Wall -ansi -pedantic -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers -o myfont_engine.o

g++ SDLMain.o myfont_engine.o -framework Cocoa -framework SDL -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers -o myfont_engine_end

GDB cannot run the application, saying there is an internal error in GDB, but here is the output from just making the file executable and running it.

PS: I am a Mac newb... I have been realy using it, only for the past couple days.

[OneSadCookie]

Some of that is very odd, but my guess is that you need to create a proper Mac application bundle. That means you'll need the directory structure Foo.app/Contents/MacOS, the executable at Foo.app/Contents/MacOS/Foo, the PkgInfo file at Foo.app/Contents/PkgInfo, and the Info.plist file at Foo.app/Contents/Info.plist . The SConstruct and Info.plist here: http://onesadcookie.com/svn/repos/Astro/ might be helpful to you...

[RHLinuxGUY]

What am I supposed to do with the bundle?

[skwirl42]

What am I supposed to do with the bundle?

You can still launch the executable from the command line, the Info.plist file just tells the window server, et al., that it's a GUI app. If it doesn't need command-line arguments, you can just double-click it in the Finder. However, if it still appears as a folder in the Finder, you can rename the top level directory of the bundle, in the Finder, and it should update. It's a bit kludgey, but it's the only way I've found that consistently updates the Finder.

If you've got the documentation for the dev tools installed, and this link works in 10.2.8, file:///Developer/ADC%20Reference%20Library/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/index.html should give you a bit more documentation on bundles. However, you'll definitely find the document at http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/index.html

[RHLinuxGUY]

After spending some time, I fixed the problem. Making a bundle didn't help the problem at hand... it was SDL.

I made my program call SDL_Init() before it reached main(). In Linux, this works just fine, because it does not need SDL_main() as Mac OS* does. With a program compiled using SDL, when main() is found, it is replaced with SDL_main() in order to actualy use SDL (which I'm sure guys on #sdl @ irc.freenode.net can explain in more detail).

So, to see a working copy of an SDL program, check out my SDL_FontEngine (in alpha stages, just took me about less then half a day) here: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=5EEE11EF1E250A9D

It's under GPL, so if you think you might want to use it, exploit the license.

[akb825]

Works great... until it's time to quit. :-p I had to force quit... several times. Also, delete doesn't take place immediately. It waits until you put in another letter to delete that one and it puts the new one in it's place.

[RHLinuxGUY]

Ya, I should have mentioned that it is completely finished. I know about the delete not deleting any characters until one overwrites the other. It's getting there though. :D It just shows me how to making a running SDL app on Mac OSX, and maybe help anyone else who might do the same mistake I did.

--update--

hrm... I'm don't see why it is not quiting like it should. Did you try pressing escape? I did not implement the x button on the window title. The escape keys exits the program only.

[akb825]

I essentially tried anything but escape. To implement the close button or the quit menu item, simply look for an event of type SDL_QUIT.

[RHLinuxGUY]

hehe! Thanks, will do.
