Mac OSX 3.2 Won't load

[Jenks]

Hi, wondered if anyone can help? I've downloaded 3.2 but every time I open it, it crashes. I'm on a Mac G5 PPC running OS X 10.5.8. Any ideas gratefully received.

First thought that comes to mind is maybe it's not a fat binary and therefore won't run on both PPC and Intel architectures.

[Jenks]

Usually intel native programs have a 'no entry' sign on them when viewed in PPC. This one looks normal

Could you post or attach the crash report? You don't need to send it to Apple; just show the details and cut and paste from the crash window.

[Derakon]

Alternately, run the Console application (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app), clear its output, try running the program, and then paste what shows up in the console.

I have a similar problem. Can't get 3.2 running on my mac. Thankfully I have other options, but still frustrating.

Crash report:

The application Angband (OS X) quit unexpectedly

Mas OS X and other applications are not affected

Click Relaunch to launch the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.

it also says…
Dyld Error Message:
Symbol not found: _fopen$UNIX2003
Referenced from: Users/Angband.app/Contents/MacOS/angband
Expected in: /usr/libSystem.B.dylib

Hope this helps?

This will make everything clear.

Allegedly.

Ok. Now I get why it's not working but how do I fix this?

To quote from the website above "…the solution is to rebuild the static library from the source"

How? I only really wanted to play a game, not learn how to become a programmer!!

Can't anyone help with this????

I'm rather late to the thread, but I'm having the exact same problem. If a solution has been found since this thread was started, I've not been able to find it. To recap:

Angband 3.32 quits on launch with the following error in the console:

12/29/11 1:12:23 PM [0x0-0x26026].net.thangorodrim.Angband[334] dyld: Symbol not found: _fopen$UNIX2003

This is on a PPC Mac OS 10.5.8

If I do find a solution, I will post it here.

Thanks!

If you have Xcode installed, you can rebuild the application from source, and it will work correctly. If not, I will try to make some changes to the build process to fix this error.

On a side note, how many people are still playing Angband on OS X 10.4 and older? The new Cocoa port uses some functions introduced in 10.5.

Wow, that was fast! Thanks.

I've just registered as a developer with Apple and am downloading Xcode 3.1.3 for PPC now. I'll try my hand at compiling tonight and let you know. If it works properly, is there somewhere I should upload the result so others won't have to go through this in the future?

If I can't make it work, I will take you up on that offer to tweak the build.

Thanks again for your quick response.

Once you've installed Xcode, to build the game

• Download and expand the source archive somewhere convenient.
• Open Terminal.app or your other favorite terminal emulator, and change directory to the src/ directory of your build tree.
• Run make -f Makefile.osx.

You should then have an Angband.app one directory above where you are, i.e. at the root of your build tree. No need to upload anything; I will try to make those changes anyway. However, I may need your help to test them, as I no longer have access to any PPC machines or <10.6 machines.

No luck, unfortunately. In all likelihood, it's just that I don't have a clue about compiling source code, but I did as you suggested: after installing Xcode 3.1.3, I used the terminal to navigated to the src directory of the unpacked angband-3.2.0.tar.gz. I ran "make -f Makefile.osx".

I got several pages of

ld warning: in attack.o, file is not of required architecture
ld warning: in birth.o, file is not of required architecture
ld warning: in button.o, file is not of required architecture
...

and several more of

Undefined symbols for architecture ppc:
"_Rand_div", referenced from:
_play_sound in main-crb.o
"_pause_line", referenced from:
_CommandCommand in main-crb.o
...

And I also noticed a

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386

This is the source file I used:

http://angband.oook.cz/download/angband-3.2.0.tar.gz

I'd be happy to email you the whole output if you like, or try other options for compiling. I appreciate your help, and would be glad to contribute to a game I've loved for decades. I'm no coder, but I'm reasonably comfortable with command line interfaces and the most basic elements of unix.

Thanks!
