Mac OS X release

[abs1nth]

hello againi'm 100% sure i've already replied to your post, but either the forum ate my post or i missed the "Submit" button ;o)here we go again:

Well, now I can compile the files BUT it doesn't link.... :cry: I have the following errors"/usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /Volumes/Documents/vdrift_580/tools/osx/libfmod.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)"How can I rerun ranlib and what is it ???

i've discovered this error too, when i was trying to reproduce your problems...(dunno what caused it since libfmod.a was always working...)...i've (hopefully) fixed it and if you do a "svn update" it should work for you alternatively you could open Terminal.app, type "ranlib /Path/to/libfmod.a" hit enter and it should work too..

and "/usr/bin/ld: warning prebinding disabled because dependent library: /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit can't be searched"Why the Mac OS X 10.3.9 SDK is used and not the Mac OS X 10.4 SDK ? (Maybe this is a stupid question)

using the 10.3.9 SDK ensures the vdrift will also run under 10.3.x and not only 10.4.x where is is beeing built...don't know why you get this warning...are you sure you habe the 10.3.9 SDK installed?

Definitively, even if I don't know many things about Mac OS X development, I feel frustrated not being able to compile the project just by clicking on the build icon. I strongly believe a FAQ or readme file is necessary explaining how to compile successfully the project on Mac OS X.What's your feeling ?

my feeling is if the project does not compile "just by clicking on the build icon" that is an bug that should be fixed instead of providing workarounds in a FAQ. (the problem here of course is that at the time an release is made the sources my countain mac-specific bugs, and the version in svn is never guaranteed to work...)
