I am currently working up a sample to demonstrate integrating Horde directly with the Cocoa environment on Mac OS X.

Full size image

The sample is basically a direct port of the knight sample to a GUI environment, and is not yet complete. In particular, I am still chasing an FBO bug related to clearing the buffer when in windowed mode (visible in the above image).

I also plan to write a tutorial for the Wiki detailing the process (as well as posting the source code, of course), as there are a couple of likely stumbling blocks along the way.

The app is now basically finished (a few bugs proved easier to track down than I had expected). If you have a Mac, you can download the sample, and give it a spin: newer binary below

Drag in the view to rotate the camera, and use WASD to move.

Along the way I discovered that the samples won't run as is on a PowerPC Mac, because the Geo and Anim files in the content directory were all created on Little Endian machines, and the engine doesn't take endianess into consideration when opening them. Hopefully I can find time to remedy this somewhere down the line.

I'll give them a go on the Mac we have on Monday... we'd like to have our game running on the Mac, but we've got one with an ATI x1600, so it may be a no-go area, and we'll need to throw in the forward rendering pipeline again ( we went deferred so our artists could create a better atmosphere, with more lights and shader work available to us. )

The Mac still somewhat scares me for creating binaries for, as I've only ever really done so under Linux and Windows.. we also have the problem in that we don't have XCode installed ( or any development stuff ) on the Mac, so I've been cross-compiling some things from my Linux machine... though currently all I've gotten is the usual "Hello World!" program done and a few SDL tests as CMake didn't seem to want to co-operate in cross-compiling Horde3D much.

At any rate, we need the game finished on one platform first ;) just would be nice to compile to three platforms from the same source tree :) It already does with Windows and Linux, so far! But yea, congrats on getting Cocoa to play nice with Horde.. from what I've heard, it's a bit mental like WinAPI in places ( or worse, straight XLib! hehe )

I am running this on a MacBook Pro, with the x1600 mobility. It runs pretty well, but I haven't tried to get a deferred pipeline running.

The CMake setup for Mac pretty much works (although missing many features), though I think you will need to install the XCode tools (just to get the compiler). Cross compiling is a bit hairy, because Apple's GCC is very heavily patched - you pretty much have to build GCC from their sources on linux.

In some ways it is much better (high level, well designed, etc.), unfortunately, it is also written in Objective-C, which is enough different from C++ to give some major headaches on first encounter.

I forgot I would be heading into uni today, so I've just tried the binary on the Mac here.

It crashes in what seems to be a rather bad way.. having had little experience with Mac development, I'm not quite sure what's wrong, but I do have a backtrace if it's of any use to you:

Tried to remove any useless stuff, but may have removed a bit too much ( or maybe even not enough, heh) .. if you do need the rest of it, let me know and I'll post the entire backtrace :)

Course, running it from a terminal gives perhaps slightly more useful errors:
Code:
2008-07-20 11:56:02.319 MacIntegration[248] invalid pixel format attribute
2008-07-20 11:56:02.319 MacIntegration[248] invalid pixel format
2008-07-20 11:56:02.320 MacIntegration[248] invalid context
2008-07-20 11:56:02.323 MacIntegration[248] invalid pixel format attribute
2008-07-20 11:56:02.323 MacIntegration[248] invalid pixel format
2008-07-20 11:56:02.323 MacIntegration[248] invalid context
Bus error


As far as I'm aware, IT are upgrading the Macs to 10.5 sometime this week, which may help.. I may ask nicely for them to shove XCode on this one as well :mrgreen: but basically, this seems to be a clean install of Mac OS X 10.4.11 with very little actually on it.. which was generally why I was trying to cross-compile on my Linux machine so I'd be able to see if it'd work without any extra stuff that XCode may install.

I hope some of those error logs were of use to you, but I think it might just be something like it's built for 10.5 so 10.4 wont run it, or a library isn't fully up to date on this machine.

Thanks very much, you exposed a bug with the order of initialisation on 10.4 - the new binary should fix this: MacIntegration.app.zip

Also, if you get a chance to run it, does the knight appear transparent (i.e. can you see the ground through him)? He has been on my machine for a few days now, and I am not sure why.

Well, it now doesn't seem to do the Mac equiv of a segfault when double clicking the .app, however it still doesn't work, I'm afraid.

Running through the console gives some extra help to why though:
Code:
2008-07-20 15:35:02.319 MacIntegration[229] invalid pixel format attribute
2008-07-20 15:35:02.319 MacIntegration[229] invalid pixel format
2008-07-20 15:35:02.320 MacIntegration[229] invalid context
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
Abort trap


I'm guessing that some string for checking which OS X version is installed, isn't grabbing it right - hence the NULL? Probably completely wrong, but it's atleast a string error :mrgreen:

Unfortunately, I'm about getting ready to head home for the day, so I won't be able to test anything else till tomorrow... I also don't know if IT will be upgrading this machine first thing in the morning, so I'll head in for when uni opens, so I can test a bit more for you before they do :)

Any idea what hardware this is running on? I can't quite figure out why the pixel format would be unavailable.

I am not handling C++ exceptions at the moment, so who knows where that crops up, but presumably it is due to horde being initialised without a valid OpenGL context.

Short of what the backtrace states that it's an Intel Core 2 Duo, with a 128mb ATI Radeon X1600, I don't know much else, I'm afraid.. if you can give me a hint of what I'm looking for and where, I'll post the information up as soon as I get in, in the morning :)

[edit]
Alright the About This Mac thing tells me:
2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1Gb Ram.
It's model identifier is iMac5,1
Amusingly, the graphics card says "ATY RadeonX1600" ... rather than ATI ;)
It's Mac OS X 10.4.11
Kernel Version is Darwin 8.11.1

If you need any more info, let me know :)

Hi there,
I am trying to get started with Horde on OSX and this example of yours that you posted in the forum - well years ago. Do you happen to have the source code still? Would you mind sharing? The knight binary works fine on my machine today.

The reason I'm asking is that I am having trouble running the built in examples that come with horde. And it would help a lot to see what you did.
