HuC on Mac OS X

[Arkhan]

-Werror should be removed from the build process... it turns warnings into errors and can break compilation, even if the resulting binary is technically correct or the warnings are insignificant (such as uninitialized variables and the like).

Ah, didn't even see it there.  I speed-readed through that crap.

yeah.  if you turn off the warnings as errors horse shit, it should just work.


on your Mac.

heh.  get it.

[nodtveidt]

heh.  get it.

I get it.

if I remove the -Werror it compiles fine, but then it gives me the Segmentation Fault 11 error on the build of a game.

[FellipeBr]

My env variable is set like this:

PCE_INCLUDE=/Volumes/Iceshard/PCEngine/Compiler/include/pce/
I think it's okay because it can grab the huc.h file ok.

[Arkhan]

well, that's interesting.  It segfaults even with the base-source code, unmodified.

are you on a 64-bit OS?  I wonder if that's causing some kind of retarded issue.

[FellipeBr]

Yup, 64 bit here...
It looks like the problem is when it calls the parse() function in main.c

[TheOldMan]

parse() itself is a pretty straightfoward routine. Shouldn't be a problem there.
But, it calls blanks() and gch() ( I think that's what they're called )
Both of those routines have problems. Whoever wrote that code wasn't very careful
about their use of promotion from char to int....
Which is probably part of the seg fault error.

Put some printf()'s in the code; call fflush(stdout) after them so they get forced out.
If you can figure out how far it gets, you'll be able to find and probably fix the problem.

And check for an updated gcc version. There is a sequence of the 4.2 series that has problems.

[nodtveidt]

I'm not surprised that 4.2.x is being used by default... OSX is apparently BSD-based, and the BSD lines have pretty much stuck with 4.2.x due to newer versions adopting the horrible GPL 3.0.
