OSX Build Error **solved**

[TheBoff]

I get this error, when building the it OSX.

/opt/local/include/js/jsotypes.h:77: error: conflicting declaration ‘typedef struct JSUint64 uint64’

/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Headers/cssmconfig.h:48: error: ‘uint64’ has a previous declaration as ‘typedef uint64_t uint64’

I tried installing SpiderMonkey with MacPorts, but no luck.

Solved, by wrapping the definition in /opt/local/include/js

with this

#ifndef _UINT64

typedef JSUint64 uint64;

#define _UINT64

#endif

In case anyone else has this problem.

Ah, that one's a pretty good argument for namespaces (two libraries are defining the same symbol). Your workaround looks good - could you please add that to http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions? (either in the instructions section for OS X or in known problems at the end - whatever you deem more appropriate)

Wasn't this going to be solved by having a spidermonkey tree compiled with the game?

[janwas]

Good point. Now that I think about this more:

- why that header is being included at all? I thought our version is meant to override the default system header.

- the PROTYPES_H comment suggests that the contents of this header should be supplanted by NSPR's definitions. Do you not have that installed? (That might explain why others don't have this error - I thought the OS X build was working after we added the SpiderMonkey tree.)

I'm fairly sure I've got NSPR - I had to install it as a dependacy and added it to a PKG_CONFIG variable.
