Guest Proffles Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 After successful compilation and having borrowed a friend's Planescape torment, I've attempted to test gemrb on OSX (PPC). Had to install via virtual PC (I said before, it's an old mac!) and copy files back to one of my Mac partitions (annoyingly the CDs couldn't just be used - they needed extracting). Fiddled with the paths and stuff in ~/.gemrb/gemrb.cfg Ran and saw lots of green OKs before terminal fills with "invalid seek position" Drat. OK, how far did it get (scrolled way more than my terminal buffer)? try again: % gemrb &>temp.log [CTRL-Z and kill the process] % vim temp.log ... SNIP ... KEYImporter: Opening /Volumes/OSX-Extra/Planescape/chitin.key... OK KEYImporter: Checking file type... OK KEYImporter: Reading Resources... KEYImporter: BIF Files Count: 1946222592 (Starting at 402653184 Bytes) KEYImporter: RES Count: 1731133440 (Starting at 924975104 Bytes) [streams]: Invalid seek position: 402653184 (limit: 178649) [streams]: Invalid seek position: 402653184 (limit: 178649) [streams]: Invalid seek position: 402653196 (limit: 178649) ... ad infinitum ... That's a lot of BIF files and RESs (whatever they are) - I assume that's a bug. Has this application ever run on anything other than an X86 architecture? (e.g. Linux PPC, ARM or whatever) I'm wondering if it's a type size or endian issue (the PPC is big endian, the x86 little endian) Can anyone shed some light? I'm happy to provide more data if necessary. Link to comment
Guest Proffles Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Oh.. you've got an Endian switch - I should have searched the forums (or it should be documented in the cfg file). I now seem to have some path issues... Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Oh.. you've got an Endian switch - I should have searched the forums (or it should be documented in the cfg file). I now seem to have some path issues... SUCCESS... for some reason I couldn't get it to see the installed paths, but the source path allowed it to run. Got intro movies with sound and title screen with no issues. Sorry for filling your boards with stuff, but hopefully someone will find it useful. Link to comment
zefklop Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 That is a good piece of news. I think you should say avenger haw you got it compiled, (in case you did not) because it seems to be a real pain to compile GemRB on OSX. Link to comment
Avenger Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Better would be a precompiled binary (a complete package) which needs no compilation and configured properly. So, a mac guy with standard configuration would only need to unzip it. I would upload it on sourceforge. Link to comment
