somewhere a 64bit crept in...
This is how I compile Dosbox on OS X 10.8 (and I did the official 0.74.1 release of Dosbox)

1OPT=' -arch i386 -m32 -O2 -msse -msse2 -force_cpusubtype_ALL '
2SDK=' -w -isysroot /Developer-old/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -I/Developer-old/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/X11R6/include/ '
3export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5
4export PATH=/opt/exult.i386/bin/:/developer-old/usr/bin:/developer-old/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
5export CC="/developer-old/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -arch i386"
6export CXX="/developer-old/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch i386"
7export GCOV="/developer-old/usr/bin/gcov-4.2 -arch i386"
8export CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/exult.i386/include '$SDK
9export CFLAGS='-I/opt/exult.i386/include '$SDK' '$OPT
10export CXXFLAGS='-I/opt/exult.i386/include '$SDK' '$OPT
11export LDFLAGS='-L/opt/exult.i386/lib '$SDK' '$OPT
12export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/exult.i386/lib/pkgconfig"
13./autogen.sh
14./configure $CONF_OPT  --prefix=/opt/exult.i386

/opt/exult.i386 is my prefix I use to store all 32bit only libs
and I'm using the old Xcode gcc things to have a true gcc to buil Dosbox, not the llvm or clang one (clang doesn't cleanly compile dosbox yet)

What version is "old Xcode"? 3.2.6 ?? Did you copy the /Developer dir from a Snow Leopard installation?

Regards

Well, use a Snow Leopard virtual machine I have in parallels with XCode 3.2.6 and I make it work without problem, even when linking dynamically to official latest SDL framework. Clearly, Snow Leopard was the latest good cat 😁

Regards and thank you for your help!

Apparently macports manages to do it with newest xcode on 10.8 as well 😉
So it should work for you as well on 10.8

I've tried to follow the same options they use and get the same crash as before, maybe that the --enable-debug option makes a difference on the dynamic core behaviour, is the only difference.

Edit: Compiled again with enable-debug and got the same crash ... maybe I have a defective Xcode installation ... that's the only thing left. I have updated to latest 4.5.2 and still crash .. so out of ideas, anyway my snow leopard compilation will do just fine.

Give me your exact exports and other stuff you do before running autogen and configure. I'm usually able to figure things out 😉

Well, I was able to find it myself, really strange when setting

CXX="g++ -arch i386"

it does work, I though that CXXFLAGS was enough, but it seems that it is not, maybe some assembling don't use the CXXFLAGS??... anyway mystery solved.

Great thanks for your support and also for your patience 😁

This is certainly true, but if you want to run the resulting build on earlier versions, then it's safest to build under Snow Leopard (following your build instructions, of course, because I could never have done this without your help).

As long as you use the 10.5 SDK and 10.5 as target you can still compile on 10.8, BUT you really need old xcode dev stuff for that. My snapshots are all built on 10.8

Ah - I didn't realize that. Thank you. I'll try to get my system set up that way, as it's presumably easier than building in a VMware Fusion virtual 10.5 system - which is what I've been doing recently.

I'll see about giving pointers when you need them 😉
From the script I pasted above you can see that I have the xcode 3.x stuff in /developers-old. Copy the xcode 3.x stuff from your vm into that.
