Building NeL, NeL NS and Ryzom Client with CMake on Mac OS X¶

This is just a small summary of the things I did; might be incomplete, so feel free to edit, extend, fix.

Installing Dependencies¶

I used macports (http://www.macports.org/) to install all the dependencies (except luabind - see InstallingLuabind).
If you are using Mac OS X 10.6 (like me) you might want to install the packages with the +universal flag to use them for 32bit and 64bit builds.

sudo port install boost cmake curl freetype jpeg libwww libxml2 lua mercurial mysql5-devel p7zip zlib

Install mercurial for source code access

sudo port install mercurial

Install p7zip to extract data files.

sudo port install p7zip

Get the sources¶

See Getting_Source

Building¶

NEL¶

As long as #872 is not fixed, get the attached patch files and apply them.

cd code/nel
mkdir build-release
cd build-release
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:string=Release ..
make
sudo make install

NELNS¶

cd code/nelns
mkdir build-release
cd build-release
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:string=Release ..
make
sudo make install

RYZOM client¶

As long as #906 is not fixed, get the attached patch file and apply it.

Things not cleanly solved for now: (detailed tickets need some further investigation)

• Disable the call to checkDriverDepth () in ryzom/client/src/init.cpp to prevent complains about color depth.
• I had to disable micro vegetation to prevent a crash.
• Some linking issues can be fixed by manually adding missing library names to TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(client ... in ryzom/client/src/CMakeLists.txt
• Sometimes there is still a libwww related crash in group_html.cpp.
• Mouse drag (camera orbiting) does not work
• Debug Build crashes deeply inside LUA while registering CRGBA class in CLuaIHM::registerBasics()

cd code/ryzom
mkdir build-release
cd build-release
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:string=Release  -DWITH_LUA51:bool=true ..
make client

Download the windows client http://sourceforge.net/projects/ryzom/files/ryzom_client_open.7z/download.
Extract it and start the binary from the root of the windows client directory, you might want to create a link.

ln -s /path/to/code/ryzom/build-release/bin/client /path/to/windows/client/dir/client_mac_r

RYZOM server/tools¶

currently not tested
