Error while building game

[Asher]

So, just was building the game, and got this:

ERROR: Download of https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.13.3.tar.gz failed
ERROR: Failed to build freetype

I downloaded it from somewhere else, and I think it is past that now. Just was letting you guys know, for any other people

Just retry, the server hosting the file might have been to busy.

Well, I figure out a way around, I manually downloaded the files. But, now I am running into a openAL error

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/OpenAL.dir/al/buffer.cpp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/OpenAL.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
ERROR: Failed to build OpenAL Soft

I think I got past that, but now I have problems with spidermonkey

I can't suggest any help. You have to look further up in the output for what went wrong. For the download issue curl should have given you the answer and for openal the compiler. "Problems with spidermonkey" doesn't allow anyone to help. Always go back in the logs and look for the first issue.

Ok, sorry about that. So, I was just building it again, and I got the failed to build freetype error again. I put the URL in the browser, and it said error 502, bad gateway

Freetype is down again

I had a problem with gmp also, the script would download it, then the script would quit. I tried extracting it myself, and there was an error. Then I go to the link and download it manually, and copy over the files, and it works

That's strange that'd we get a corrupted download. Sometimes their mirror fall though... I sometimes have to update the urls in my local copy until they fix it.

When I downloaded it through the browser, it wasn't corrupted though, so that is kind weird

Is there something I am doing wrong, I keep running into things not building. It does work on macos 26.6.2, right?

[Asher]

If I get this working, then I pull origin, will I have to redo all of this?

I'm on 25.1 but it should yes. The problem is that the mirrors often fail and apple often break things

Libs you have built should be fine

[Asher]

Is there a pre-built version for macos?

There are bimonthly bundles, but the last one failed for the same reason yours did. (bad download.)

Is there an easier way to make a mod or PR than downloading and building (or attempting to) the whole game?

For mods you can just use R28 unless you want to make a mod for the dev version.

For the PRs you have to be on latest, but the patches are built on the CI (Gitea) too
