Synchmod?

Question:

If you have a system that is NOT connected to the internet, then how can you get the current "synchmods"?

Here's the problem...

My PC - connected to the net.
My MAC - *not* connected to the net and part of a render-farm, so moving it isn't feasible.

Any workable solution?

Thanks.

Sure. Syncmods on your pc and copy over your mods directory.

You'll have to recompile all the modules and as such have gcc installed, or mac equivalent installed.

All I need to do is copy the entire mods directory and then just build them on my mac?

Do I need anything else other than the "mods" directory?

Thanks

I'm not sure what mac requires for compiling C/C++/ObjC/ASM but you'll need it since uber low-level mods use alot of C

the Mac requires X-Code developer tools.

Ok, I tried the old copy and replace on my Mac.

BlitzMax gave me errors that it couldn't create the file /tmp/etc/etc/etc......

So, i reinstalled BlitzMax on my Mac, reinstalled the 1.01 core update and rebuilt the mods. It worked, but no docs. I ended up copying my "docs" folder from the PC to the mac so I could have the mods docs.

Odd. I have no idea what is going on.

The documents are also synchronized and updated so yes you would've needed to copy over the docs also.

no, all you need is to call

bmk docmods

XD

I prolly should have mentioned that. Copying works too though.

Cool. Thanks.

Any idea why the Mac version of Blitzmax gave me "unable to create file /tmp/etc...." errors when I tried to build the mods?

Thanks.

Do you have X-Code? Also, make sure there isnt a space in the path to bmax.

Yes. X-code is there. Completely installed.

This problem only occured after I copied the "mods" directory from my PC version of BlitzMax to my mac and tried to re-compile them.

Otherwise, I had no problem.

Odd.

what's the full error anyway? Whenever i have those there is a space in the path to the code, a bad bmax bug that NEEDS FIXIN!

Oh, and you should call bmk makemods -r as well

Stupid mac question:

How do I get to a command prompt to type

bmk makemods -r

(Yes, I'm new to Mac - got a mini yesterday morning)

Thanks again!
