HuC on Mac OS X

[FellipeBr]

Hi there,

Anyone got HuC to run on Mac OS X?
Tried here, accomplished to compile it but it keeps giving me a "Segmentation Fault: 11" when I try to compile a game.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Post a screen grab of the text output when you try to run the compiler, and how did you install everything on OSX?

[FellipeBr]

I just compiled the sources from the HuC website and changed a line where it had a OS verifications.

The only input that it gives is Segmentation Fault: 11.
But, if I try to compile .c file with:

#include "huc.h"

main() {

}

it compiles OK, but if I put any HuC function like set_color() it gives me the Segmentation Fault error.

did you setup your path variables to have the PCE_INCLUDE directory?

sounds like it can't find the function libraries.

You have to set a PCE_INCLUDE environment variable. 

[FellipeBr]

PCE_INCLUDE is setted...
Maybe some problem with the environment variable?
Going to try to hardcode the path to see if it works.

[FellipeBr]

Tried it, same error...
Don't know what it can be, Segmentation Fault is a memory error no?

Memory access error, yeah.

What kind of Mac do you have... Motorola-based or Intel-based? HuC might be doing something funky with pointer maths that gcc isn't adjusting for if you've got a Motorola-based Mac.

[Arkhan]

Oh man if you've got a Motorororororora, you're probably hosed.


Well, maybe not.

Wasn't there a HuC for Amiga? lol.   Maybe you can build that one and get it working.

Can you show what your environment variable is set to?

[FellipeBr]

mine is Intel-based, a Macbook Pro of 2010.
Tonight i'm going to post the variables, but they are right because I changed it and then it could not anymore found huc.h.
Going to try to compile the Amiga one to see if it works too

[Arkhan]

If you have an intel machine, you won't have any luck with the Amiga one.

Seg fault means its accessing memory incorrectly.

What version of the source did you rebuild.

[FellipeBr]

The last one, 3.2.1 if I remember correctly.

[nodtveidt]

Put all the header files in the same directory as the binary and see if you still get the same problems.

Same error, Segmentation Fault 11...
Starting to think about installing windows in here, just to use the compiler

Just use DOSBox

There is a DOS version of HuC
