Errors compiling Dolphin under Mac OS - flashkraker - 03-09-2012

Ive seen this posted elsewhere but I didn't really find an answer on how to get around this.

When I go to compile Dolphin I get:

You don't have the compiler installed or it is installed in the wrong place. scons tells you:

Code:

sh: /Developer/usr/bin/llvm-g++: No such file or directory

I fixed the first error. That has to do with Xcode 4.3 being installed in the Applications folder rather than Developer.

It ran for quite sometime but now I get another error:

Archiving Build/Darwin-x86_64-release/Source/Core/Core/libcore.a
sh: ar: command not found
scons: *** [Build/Darwin-x86_64-release/Source/Core/Core/libcore.a] Error 127

Ideas?

I guess it's because your shell can't find the ar command. According to Apple's dev pages it should have been part of Xcode. Might wanna check your installation again. Dunno too much about OS X, but it's a Unix OS. Try this command from the terminal:

Code:

which ar

See if it prints out a path to the executable. If it does, then that means it's at least installed on your computer. It could just be that it's not installed where your shell expects it.

You should also use cmake instead of scons. We do not support scons build anymore AFAIK.

That doesn't make a lot of sense. which will find exactly the same things the shell will find too, as it searches in the same places. In other words, I don't think you'll ever get any information from which if bash tells you "command not found".

Ah, you're right. Which only checks the $PATH variable. A more accurate way to see if the program is anywhere on your system would be to use the find command. To avoid any permission errors, try running this as an admin/superuser/root or whatever OS X refers to:

Code:

find / -maxdepth 5 -name ar

You can increase the maxdepth argument to (possibly) get more results. It should give you a list of files that are named "ar", if any exist on your system. If one of them turns out to be the ar command you need, you could try adding that to your $PATH variable.

RE: Errors compiling Dolphin under Mac OS - scummos - 03-10-2012

ar is an archiver program, maybe it just isn't installed, regardless of what the documentation says about whether it should be or not. I'd just try googling that.
