SDL on Mac not working when trying to run from LGM instead of emake
Reporter: time-killer-games | Status: closed | Last Modified: April 01, 2019, 09:10:13 AMSDL on Mac when running from LGM produces the following errors in the compile form:
Doesn't happen when building with emake. But emake currently can't handle very large projects like LGM can, which is a different bug of its own but not the focus of this ticket.
Seems to be an issue with mouse, cursor, and window related functions.
RobertBColton This must be Mac specific because I can use it fine over here on Windows.
if (keyboard_check(ord('1'))) {
window_mouse_set(0, 0);
}
if (keyboard_check(ord('2'))) {
display_mouse_set(0, 0);
}Do those functions work in GM on Mac? Further, your log contains all sorts of undefined references to the SDL functions, how are you even getting a window open? It seems this issue title is misleading and should be "can't use SDL on Mac at all" or something.
Yes I assume those functions work in GM4Mac and GMStudio. The window doesn't open. The game won't even run. I looked at the undefined references to those window, mouse, and cursor functions and it seems all of those are what's broken and why the game won't run.
These errors don't happen when running from emake; only happens when running from LGM.
Understood, I totally wouldn't have guessed that, so thank you very much for clarifying. I'll maybe try to help you guys look into this. I'm assuming you've already tried #1294 and that does not fix it?
Yes, that is the branch I pulled from. It didn't fix these errors. These errors I get from that branch. I don't know what would happen if I pulled from master because I haven't tried that; fundies said it didn't work in master.
This specific to @time-killer-games being a dummy and launching lgm in different env than emake. One without pkg-config. You can close this
Well excuse me for being dumb enough to do as you tell me to. :P (jk)
@fundies how many months did you wait to inform us of this exactly? What purpose did that serve? I didn't know it couldn't be run outside of emake. You never told me that until now.
It can be run in lgm. You just need to launch lgm from the same place you launch emake. Also, I did try telling you this before but my account was banned by someone and then I forgot. It's pretty clear based on your log pkg-config isnt in your path
Well just be happy to know I'm not going to do that again and no from the bottom of my heart when I'm not having a hissy fit I genuinely do not enjoy doing anything that negatively effects you. But github isn't really the place to talk about this. You can talk to me on hang outs, and if you do, I will be sort of confused
