Packaged Mac App

I just got a bunch of system info when I ran lsof but nothing about pyrogenesis. I also ran

lsof -a -d cwd -c pyrogenesis

but didn't produce any results.

The game has to be running when you use that command. For me it shows:

COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME
pyrogenes 207  Ben  cwd    DIR   14,2     3672 324263 /Users/Ben/0ad/binaries/system

so dlopen should be finding libAtlasUI and libCollada, and indeed it works without any @executable_path hack. Maybe for you and wraitii it's something different?

I believe it's because it's DLLLoader.cpp that loads it. It explicitly calls a path, which OSX may consider as an absolute path.

Hmm but that still doesn't explain why it works for me and not you. I've made some local changes for OS X building, but I'm pretty sure the path for loading libraries is untouched for non-bundles: DllLoader.cpp (I'm testing by running a loose binary, not a bundle). I'd really like to get to the bottom of this annoying problem

Okay this is what I got:

iMac:~ Geek$ lsof -a -d cwd -c pyrogenesis
COMMAND    PID   USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME
pyrogenes 2323 Geek  cwd    DIR   14,2	 2210 381296 /Users/Geek

[wraitii]

Output is basically the same for me.

Ah thanks! So the cwd isn't always binaries/system! I did some testing and noticed that if I open the game from Finder, the cwd is /Users/Ben, so indeed Atlas and Collada loading are broken (this problem doesn't occur on the official bundles because it uses an absolute path with the bundle's framework directory). 99.99% of the time I use terminal to run the game, and in that case the cwd is binaries/system, so it just happens to work by relying on dlopen's cwd path searching

Wraitii's solution looks like it may be the least evil (another option would be setting the current directory), so I'll test it some more and commit to SVN, then merge it into my github osx-build branch.

[wraitii]

Well, you should just assure that my fix won't break the bundled version.

[historic_bruno]

It worked perfectly, so I committed a variation of your patch (r12834) Please test and see how it goes

It works. Now I don't have to make the change myself each time before I compile

BTW my experiments with SVN are going nicely so I'll start building packages soon. Once the entire GitHub migration thing is sorted out...

[wraitii]

Your fix seems clean and it looks like it's working for me (I build strictly non-bundled, though), so I'd say this one has been sorted out.

Do I always have to run export CC=llvm-gcc-4.2 CXX=llvm-g++-4.2 before updating? Is there a way I can make this setting permanent?

[historic_bruno]

You could make a script that contains that command, updates workspaces and builds the game. I think you could also add that line to ~/.bash_profile
