I went through the ReadMe for building new gyp-based projects on OS X. I'm having trouble building in Xcode, however. Here is what I did on OS X 10.9.5 with Xcode 6.2 installed in the standard location (/Applications/Xcode.app):

1) make config-mac
2) Tried opening various project files from the build-mac folder in order to compile them. I started with livecode.xcodeproj but also tried engine/engine.xcodeproj. When I try to compile these projects I get an error from revsecurity about a missing -lcustomcrypto library. Here is the full error message:

Code: Select all

ld: library not found for -lcustomcrypto
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I did a search through the livecode repository and only came across -lcustomcrypto for the Linux build. Is it supposed to be included on OS X? Any suggestions on how to get the engine building again?

@LCFraser helped me out with this. Because of the gyp changes I had to clean up my local git repository. I deleted ./prebuilt/fetched, ./prebuilt/lib, and ./prebuilt/include prior to building. I also deleted _build and _cache and thirdparty/_build and thirdparty/_cache.

BTW, if you want to run the IDE from Xcode, open the livecode.xcodeproj file and do the following:

1) Select the <Livecode-all> target.
2) Build it.
3) Select the <development> target.
4) Press the Play button in the toolbar. The IDE should launch.

Thanks, should this be moved or copied to the engine forum

Yeah, thanks, Trevor.

In addition, in my conversation with Mark and Peter in the engine contributors thread http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=21543 it seems that the rev team developers have separate git repositories for the different develop-* branches. And I've been unable to successfully switch between the different develop branches in a single repository after the gyp migration, due to anomalies with the prebuilt directory, so that does make sense.
