Iohannes,

hi. (i forward your mail also to the gem-dev@iem.at mailinglist: there are people who know more than me about the os-X build process)

Greetings from the US. A student of mine and I are trying to build and install GEM on a Mac G5 from a CVS archive. After making a few necessary changes to the source code, all files compile

what do you consider necessary? it would be good to know this modifications so they could eventually be incorporated (or at least: handled) in a regular build.

but the build fails with the linker errors below. I assume the "missing" functions are defined in Pd which we already have installed. Can you please explain how we can modify the make file to link GEM properly? It's not clear to me where these functions are expected to be.

how are you compiling Gem? using configure/make or using xcode (question to jamie&chris: are you using the autoconf build system? (so can we expect it to work :) ?)

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

Paul Calamia

/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _main _canvas_getcurrent _error _gensym _atom_getint _class_addmethod _outlet_anything _outlet_free _outlet_new _post _inlet_free _inlet_new

[...]

_s_symbol _garray_redraw

all of them are defined in pd. you have to link against pd. for this, the build process has to find pd (when using configure, i think there is an option to tell it, where to find pd)

recordQT::getCodecName(int) recordQT::getCodecDescription(int)

this might be a bug. for now, just delete the files Pixes/record* and Pixes/pix_record.* (don't delete Pixes/pix_recordQT.* if you want to record to a movie)
