Thanks for the tip on the src files James,
So, I was able to compile Gem.pd_darwin with one caveat...my Gem.pd_darwin is 12.6MB whereas the G4 distribution is 17.9MB. Obviously, something went wrong here. For grins, I tried to run PD/GEM with the version I compiled. PD loaded, I saw the console window and then it quit without saying anything not even about GEM. I thent tried it with the G4 distro from iem and everything was normal. At this point, I have no idea what went wrong. I have all of the files/frameworks etc. The last thing I was having problems with was trying to get Xcode to find libftgl.a. I gave the project a path to this file in the resource path settings and it compiled.
I did do one thing that I wasn't sure about. I made an errant click in the xcode project, but I wasn't sure what exactly I did. I ended up getting some erorrs that I hadn't seen before and unchecked gemextwin.cpp and gemextwin.h from the project since they included /Base/GemOutput.h.
During compilation I had 41 warnings which looked mostly harmless to me from tube.h, pix_texture.cpp, pix_halftone.cpp, model_loader.cpp, GemPixUtil.cpp, and pix_videoDarwin.cpp.
Maybe someone has come across this situation before? Any suggestions?

Here is my Xcode project, I'm not sure if it'll be of any use since it seems Xcode uses absolute paths by default.
Also my Gem is much smaller, and as I realized its because my freetype is not staticallly linked, even though I have the libfreetype.a in my frameworks. Maybe yours is also dynamically linking to some things, explaining the size difference.
It took me months and lots of help from Jamie and Chris to get Gem compiling. :(
One of these days I'll look into a command line build... ah but when.
My "user" name is "admin" and you can just remove the spotlight.cpp and spotlight.h references.

Thanks for the xcode project Ben,
I compiled your project. You had a setup.h for each folder in the Gem/src folder. I didn't have those files, so I took them out of the project. The Gem binary ended up being 2.3MB, and when I tried to run it with PD, I got some more undefined symbols.

How was the G4 optimized GEM build created? with the Xcode project? If so, how does one specify for libraries to statically link? I'm really tempted to just use the command line to compile this thing. If I have everything in place like this, it shouldn't be as difficult as it is to compile. Of course, I'm pretty new to this kind of thing, so I may be off base there.

hey Wesley,
I modified that project a couple times for vertex arrays and for this spotlight thing so I may have messed something up. I don't recall the setup.h files...
What OS are you running? 10.3.7? Totally up-to-date? Could these symbols be stuff missing from an older system? Since Chris said the orb stuff does not work in OSX then you can just remove those files that refer to it.
the Gem OSX developers use project builder (still?) rather then the newer Xcode. If I knew how to deal with the linking I would have solved it by now. I assume it should do it automatically when you include a static lib in the frameworks.
A makefile to compile Gem from terminal would be really handy, especially for package build systems. The reason why there is none is that most users just want a binary on OSX, ie not linux savvy users. Also because there are very few (what 5?) people who actually compile Gem on OSX. I think it would be a great contribution and I can tell you I sure would use the command line build!!!
Note that makefiles on OSX are different than on linux, so you would need to know all the OSX weirdness with gcc and so on. ranlib(), -frameworks etc.. headers and libs are treated differently on OSX than other platforms. It *should* not be hard to make the compilation, but then I don't think anyone has started doing it...
Anyhow try updating your machine (and dev-tools maybe??) and then get rid of the orb stuff and see what happens. I did have a problem compiling vertex-arrays I think, because my AGL was too old.
