Bnes-libretro compile fails on Mac OS X

RetroArch General
#1

I can’t get bnes-libretro to compile on Mac OS X, here is the output when I try:

Build environment: Mac OS X 10.8.2 Xcode version: 4.5 (4G182) (latest version for Mac OS X 10.8)

#2

byuu-related cores cannot yet be compiled on OS X

#3

It can with some extra effort. Install and setup homebrew then use it to install the ‘gcc’ package.

On line 66 in the bnes Makefile delete the ‘-Wl,–no-undefined’ argument, finally build with ‘CC=gcc-4.7 CXX=g+±4.7 make’.

bsnes builds just fine with the default clang compiler.

#4

You can also build them using MacPorts’ gcc packages, which is what I did for my libretro bundles.

One warning: it seems that libretro-bnes is unstable on OS X and can sometimes bring the whole system down. :open_mouth:

#5

Ah, thanks for all the info, looks like I’ll just wait until it’s working/compiling properly and use the FCEU core in the interim.

Thanks!

Oh sure, with gcc you can compile on OS X but with clang there’s still some issues - bugs in the compiler and also issues with BSNES’ use of c++11 features. Some details here: http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3057
