I have been trying in vain to try and compile from SVN for the PPC version for OS X, however I keep running into the same issue. I am using the 10.4 version of the SDK, and 10.4 version in the Xcode project. I can compile in debug mode, but whenever I try to compile in release mode I get the following error.

Any thoughts would be good, I'm assuming its something to do with release mode and the alloc.c file. I'm not a C developer so I can't figure out myself too easily.
Thanks

Is it possible you might've missed this announcement?

That could be it, my only concern is that I've been having this same problem for a couple of weeks, maybe it will be fixed once the merges have been implemented and things have stabilized.

I can assure you davilla would NOT leave the OSX build broken for "a couple weeks".

I have no doubt. I'm just trying to figure out what would cause this issue, could it be my build environment? Any help to fix it would be great, I followed the readme.osx. Any why would I be able to build under debug but not release?

Thanks

It's the PPC release build, which may well be broken for a couple of weeks, as we have only one dev with a PPC box, so you have to wait until he fixes stuff.

Will ping beenje about it.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Thanks very much.

Thanks for pointing out the problem!
I don't often compile in release mode... Rolleyes

Build is fixed in r22538.
But note that I have seen several pb in the ppc build since I came back from vacation (rendering issue + video playback pb).
So don't expect too much from the svn build.
Gonna take me some time to fix it.

Thanks for fixing this, of course I missed the window since the builds are broken due to the other changes being made. Appreciate the work you've put into making the PPC version, made this Mac Mini owner happy.

@bodrick, is there a how-to guide you used for compiling xbmc ? I can't really find a good one.

"readme.osx" is probably the best way to go. Included in SVN.

I have spent the greater part of my weekend trying to compile XBMC on my PPC Mac Mini and I'm starting to lose hope… Does anyone by any chance have a svn build for ppc they could package up and send me? I'd be eternally grateful!

Do the builds at http://www.sshcs.com/xbmc/ work for PPC?

Perhaps if you post detailed info as to your issues building for ppc, we can help resolve them.

Sure. Using the latest SVN sources with all the necessary packages installed through macports, when I try to run:

Code:
xcodebuild -configuration Release -target "XBMC_ppc.app" -project XBMC.xcodeproj

I get:

Code:
The following build commands failed:

XBMC_ppc:

    CompileC build/XBMC.build/Release/XBMC_ppc.build/Objects-normal/ppc/alloc.o /xbmc/trunk/xbmc/lib/libcmyth/alloc.c normal ppc c com.apple.compilers.gcc.4_0

(1 failure)

Any suggestions? Thanks! Big Grin
