hey all so i am working on a mac wallet and have packaged up the app and when i run it i get this error message

Code:

Error: Specified data directory "" does not exist.

never seen such an error,
you could try specifiying a datadir
open a command line console
type

open blah/blah/qt.app --args -datadir=blah/blah/choosedatadir

nope that didnt work and now for some reason when i try to package the apps and try to run them they just crash, i have messed up my compiler bad

i googled the above post error, and possibly it's to do with yr db version.

----

probably not relevant any more to this thread

but you can see which dependencies are linked where by right clicking on coin-qt > show package contents > then navigate into Contents/MacOS
then do an otools on the coin-qt exec
something like

otools -L coin-qt.app/Contents/MacOS/coin-qt

then you can see if some of the deps are not correctly simlinked.

. i generally type otools -L then click drag the exec onto the command line and it completes full address for me

no it is not db thanks to someone else i have gotten it figured out, as to your other question i gave up trying to compile any coin based off of 0.9 source code for mac i only do 0.9 for windows

i have a problem with building a stand alone app from 0.9.x up
how do you package the exec into an app?

   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure --with-gui=qt5
   make

ends up with bitcoin-qt in the qt folder, but i canna work out how to app it :p

if i remember right 0.9.4 is compiled with qt5, i avoid any code compiled with qt5 as i have nothing but issues, what i compile is qt4

am i correct in assuming that in order to compile a wallet to work on 10.6 and up i need to compile it on 10.6?

I don't think so. Likewise I don't think 0.9.4 was tested on pre-10.7 systems so that may be part of the issue.

Well then I don't know what to tell you. Something strange is going on with your build machine. The Makefile you posted doesn't match the output of what should be there with RELEASE=1. The library it is complaining about comes as a part of the command line tools. Are you sure you have the proper versions of Xcode and the CLT installed for the version of the OS you're trying to use?

yup

What you posted doesn't make sense if you're trying to build on the old architecture (unless that's the mistake you fixed manually). Here's what happens when I run qmake RELEASE=1 USE_QRCODE=1:

Code:

CC = clang
CXX = clang++
DEFINES = -DQT_GUI -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -DUSE_IPV6 -DUSE_QRCODE -DUSE_UPNP=1 -DSTATICLIB -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -DMAC_OSX -DMSG_NOSIGNAL=0 -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED
CFLAGS = -pipe -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -O2 -arch x86_64 -Wall -W $(DEFINES)
CXXFLAGS = -pipe -stdlib=libc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -fstack-protector -O2 -arch x86_64 -fdiagnostics-show-option -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -D__NO_SYSTEM_INCLUDES $(DEFINES)

Your new error should be resolved by doing this in terminal:

Code:

xcode-select --install

i already have the command line tools installed

Run qmake and post the contents of the Makefile it creates here.

i have tried other wallets aswell and get the same thing
it wont let me paste it here for some reason but here it is on pastebin

http://pastebin.com/ZrAW2jsd

edit i saw an error in the paste bin and have fixed it manually in the make file and now am getting a new message

Code:

ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.6.o

Those settings are only applied if you're building the release. You'd have to run qmake RELEASE=1 for it to attempt to apply those settings.

What does the Makefile look like - especially the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS? It is there you'll find the architecture being used. For example, after running qmake USE_QRCODE=1 on my system, my Makefile looks like this:

Code:

CC            = clang
CXX           = clang++
DEFINES       = -DQT_GUI -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -DUSE_IPV6 -DUSE_QRCODE -DUSE_UPNP=1 -DSTATICLIB -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -DMAC_OSX -DMSG_NOSIGNAL=0 -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED
CFLAGS        = -pipe -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -O2 -arch x86_64 -Wall -W $(DEFINES)
CXXFLAGS      = -pipe -stdlib=libc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -fstack-protector -O2 -arch x86_64 -fdiagnostics-show-option -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -D__NO_SYSTEM_INCLUDES $(DEFINES)
...

Notice the -arch x86_64. Also notice the min OS version: 10.7. Building for earlier versions of OS X requires you to have the proper SDKs installed, or that you build it directly on the older OS that contains the SDKs to which the build refers.

i know all that and i only use alphacoin as a test, it was the first wallet i compiled as my fiancee needed a copy for windows, but i tried setting that setting and i dont know where else to put it as it is already set in the .pro file

edit here it is

Code:

# use: qmake "RELEASE=1"
contains(RELEASE, 1) {
    # Mac: compile for maximum compatibility (10.5, 32-bit)
    macx:QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
    macx:QMAKE_CFLAGS += -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
    macx:QMAKE_LFLAGS += -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk

As I stated to you in PM, the error is that you aren't providing an architecture to the compiler. You need to do something like "-arch native". If you're trying to build for old OS X, you'll probably want to use "-arch i386".

Alphacoin? That code hasn't been touched in 3 years. Why are you trying to compile a dead coin wallet?

By the way, here's AlphaCoin compiled on OS X 10.11.4:

It needs some help... the icon set is Litecoin... lol

the .sdk's? if thats it i have those i just need to figure out how to implement them

like explained in the documentation for maximum compatibility you should build all deps with the flags:

-mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -arch x86_64 -isysroot $(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk

replace the version, architecture specification and sdk directory with yours desired ones to provide support for all versions >= the one from flag. One option is also to have a virtual machine with osx10.6 and build the wallet here and then only deploy it:
when build is finished you have to deploy the application to "put" all libraries inside the app-bundle and link them to bitcoin
so when you share it nobody needs the dependcies preinstalled.

just ignore my first question, the person i was doing the wallet for has moved on to an easier source code, but now i have a new question, how do i compile a wallet on 10.11 that will work on 10.6 and up?

compiling is one thing but i cannot get it to work on any other macs but my own, if it is a wallet compiled with qt4 i have no problems getting to work on other macs but qt5 and this newer source code is different

because this computers do not have the dependcies installed. You need to deploy the application for release and put/link all libraries in/to the application.

i know, and i can get it to work that way all day long if it is a wallet based on older source code and compiled with qt4 but if it is code based off of 0.9.x source code i cant get it to work at all

please make gist/pastebin of your error log.
