  • Golded Build for MacOS

    From Scott Street@1:266/420 to All on Sun Oct 24 21:04:36 2021
    Hello everybody!

    Does anyone have a guide on getting Golded-Plus to compile/make on MacOS. I've successfully gotten all of my other required software to build on MacOS vs Linux; I'm trying to retire a very old PC (my Linux machine is from 2011) and I'm just had enough with it's age quirks - most of which revolve around being a transitional UEFI motherboard.

    Anyway, this is what I get when I run make on my Mac:
    ===make output START====
    fido@Tadpole golded-plus % make
    making sourcelist
    making sourcelist
    making sourcelist
    making sourcelist
    making sourcelist
    making sourcelist
    making sourcelist
    making sourcelist
    making sourcelist
    making sourcelist
    Creating library gall...ar: ../../lib/lnx/libgall.a: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [../../lib/lnx/libgall.a] Error 1
    make: *** [all] Error 2
    fido@Tadpole golded-plus %
    ===make output END===

    And, yes, for the curious, my M1 Mac Mini is called Tadpole; because everything on my network has aquatic names (Driftwood, Tadpole, Flounder, Jetsom, Shark, Hydra, etc). I started this back in the 90s and just kept it.

    Thanks for any help you can provide, because, Google has failed me. :)

    Scott

    Install CMake with Homebrew or MacPorts:

    "brew install cmake", or "sudo port install cmake".

    Clone the GoldED+ repo:

    git clone https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus

    Build GoldED+:

    cd golded-plus/golded3
    cp mygolded.__h mygolded.h
    mkdir ../bld
    cd ../bld
    cmake ..
    make -j

    The GoldED binary will be at golded3/golded.

    This works on MacOS 10.13.6 High Sierra with the Xcode Command Line Tools installed. I can't vouch for newer versions, but it should work.

    OMG! Is this really a new release? Or is the pull date out of a hat and means the compilation date, not the release date?

    Because i see that the srcdate.h file on github has an old date #define __SRCDATE__ "20180707"

    With best regards,
    Alexander.

    And I can know confirm it works exactly that way on Big Sur, and even on an M1 ARM64.

    A **HUGE** thank you for your fast reply and accurate info. That enables the last piece of the puzzle of retiring an power hungry Linux PC from 2011 and moving my Fido node and development to my Mini (which stays on all the time anyway, sleep is disabled)!

    Thank you all for you help!
