Any succesfull build on Darwin/OS-X?

Submitted by david_e on Tue, 2007-09-18 16:25

Hi,
I am tring to build Moc 2.4.3 on my Intel MacBook, but the configure script exits after checking for iconv:

checking for iconv.h... yes
checking for iconv_open()... no
configure: error: No iconv library found.

I am almost sure that I have installed all the required dependencies via fink (a package manager for OS-X/Darwin) and I am building with the env:

CFLAGS=-I/sw/include
LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib
CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
CPPFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS

as I have installed many libs using fink which puts everithing in /sw. As for iconv I have libiconv-1.11 and text-iconv-pm586-1.4 installed (I think that the latter is not needed...). gettext version is 0.10. I have rebuilt both twice to avoid the known circular dependencies problem, so they should work...

I don't knwo what to do now. Is there a way to build without iconv support or is there a way to make the automake chain be aware of my iconv lib?

Thanks in advance.

It works!

Submitted by dgulotta on Mon, 2008-02-04 04:17.

To recap, here's what I did:

-Install JackOSX version 0.75.
-Download the moc sources and change 'sound_params->format != SFMT_FLOAT' to '! ( sound_params->format & SFMT_FLOAT )' in jack.c
-Change the configure script so that it doesn't use the -export-dynamic flag when checking for required packages. There's probably a better way of doing this, but I commented out the 'LDFLAGS= "$LDFLAGS -export-dynamic"' line in configure and then manually added -export-dynamic to the Makefile's LDFLAGS after I ran configure.

I followed these steps

I followed these steps and configure generates a makefile, but when I try to compile I get this error:

Try adding --without-jack to the configure parameters if you don't need JACK.

Thanks for your reply, but I do need JACK unless there is some other sound driver that works with OS X. There is liboss in macports, but I don't know howto configure moc with it.

I got moc to compile by

Submitted by dgulotta on Sat, 2008-02-02 09:05.

I got moc to compile by changing
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -export-dynamic"
to
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS ${export_dynamic_flag}
in the configure script. I still haven't figured out how to get it to run though; I get the message "dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _options_get_str".

Submitted by dgulotta on Sat, 2008-02-02 21:55.

I got rid of the "Symbol not found" error by adding -export-dynamic to the LDFLAGS in the Makefile after running configure.

Now I'm getting the error "No valid sound driver". I assume that means that I have to install JACK; are there any other options on OS X?

Submitted by dgulotta on Sat, 2008-02-02 22:30.

After installing JACK I can now run mocp, but when I try to play an ogg vorbis file I get the error "Unsupported file format: float little-endian (native)".

I changed the line if

Submitted by dgulotta on Sat, 2008-02-02 22:46.

I changed the line
if (sound_params->fmt != SFMT_FLOAT) {
to
if (!(sound_params->fmt & SFMT_FLOAT)) {
in jack.c and moc appears to be playing right now. (I can't be sure since I'm using the jack dummy driver because I haven't gotten the coreaudio one to work yet.) Make sure that you set the jack sample rate to match the sample rate of your music files.

There is a known bug in MOC

Submitted by daper on Tue, 2007-09-18 20:31.

There is a known bug in MOC with this. MOC uses -export-dynamic gcc flag which is not understood by the compiler on OS-X. I don't know a solution. The problem is not related to any library, even if you have all required libraries you won't compile MOC :(

Thanks for the reply. I have tried building with the gcc-4.2 from the fink project, but it's useless: it's like building with the standard gcc-4.0 which is the dafault in OS-X 10.4... this is strange because this should be the standard gcc compiler and, according to its man pages, should support -export-dynamic. Maybe I need to rebuild everithing with this compiler...

mhh... that's a pitty :(.

Are there any alternative players you can use? I mean mplayer oder qtplay don't provide the same useability. Hmmh... is there no possible option to make an OS X build and to provide the binary?
