I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate with GemRB<\/a> lately. <\/p>\n

I have found it to be pretty unstable on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9″, so I want to try to run it under a debugger and see where it crashes. My first step is to try to get the code locally and build it.<\/p>\n

I’ll need GIT<\/a> for that and heard that the Git OSX Installer is a reasonable way to get GIT for Mac. So I’ve installed that. <\/p>\n

I had to set up a Github<\/a> account (as FuguTabetai) and add SSH keys to that. Once I did that though, I was able to clone the repository (on my personal MacBook, ~\/Documents\/workspace):<\/p>\n

$ git clone git@github.com:gemrb\/gemrb.git<\/p>\n

So now I have the code locally. The question is, now what to do with it. Let me take a look around. The android subdir has a great README setting out what I need to build. That includes the android-sdk (already installed due to playing around with that a few weeks ago) but I’ll need to get android-ndk, mercurial (apparently) as well. Including stuff from the gemrb, I will probably also need to get cmake, make, g++, and a bunch of libraries: Zlib, Python 2.3, SDL 1.2, OpenAL, SDL_Mixer, libpng, FreeType, iconv, libVLC 2.0+.<\/p>\n

Wow, this might take a while to get going. I have used fink in the past, but it looks like right now that is hosed. I think it would be nice to install MacPorts, but that needs the command line tools for developers to be installed. I can only find downloads for that for Mountain Lion or Lion. I’m on Snow Leopard. I found that I can download Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard<\/a> and that includes the command line tools. So I’ll do that. I think I’ll need to upgrade to a newer OSX version at some point soon though. <\/p>\n

I’m trying to do this so I can install MacPorts, and from there the other libraries that I need to build gemrb. I think this is going to take a while – I have to at least wait for the 1.8GB Xcode download to finish over the hotel internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
