Mac OS X Dependencies

In order to get the orxonox dependencies to build properly on the mac, some tricks are needed. This page will contain some or more important tidbits for compiling various dependencies on the mac.

Configure Flags

For a list of all possible configure flags, run ../configure —help. The following are common ones:

Configure Flag Description
--enable-universal_binary Gives you a universal binary running on ppc and i386 OS X variants.
--with-macosx-version-min For specifing the minimal supported OS X version, eg. —with-macosx-version-min=10.4.
--with-macosx-sdk For specifing which SDK you want to build against, the maximum system whose API you want to benefit from, ie it can run on newer systems, but newer APIs would not be used, eg —with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk.
--enable-debug Build the library with debug support (recommended for development phase of your product)
--disable-shared Builds static libraries. (note: Linking your own applications against dynamic libraries is quicker than against static ones.)(note 2 : do not combine with monolithic)

Compiler Flags

Compiler and Linker Flag Description
-arch Set both the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS variable to the desired architecture, i.e. i386, ppc, ppc64, x86_64
