Ppsspp: Empty macOS Dev-Latest build

[mikadocat]

macOS Dev-Latest build only contains 'Version.txt'.
https://build.ppsspp.org/?page/downloads#osx

@angelXwind is on it, I think.

[Nimble-Bubble]

Still hasn't been fixed.

I've installed a build environment on my Mojave 14.4 and the latest GIT does indeed fails compiling.
I can provide logs if requested.

Thanks.

Did you use a recursive clone and follow these instructions?

It's generally easy to install, but you MUST download the git submodules (this is the first step people forget), and you must install certain Homebrew dependencies.

I wouldn't recommend Qt. If you want to use Qt, you'll need to install it (it's not small):

I usually use cd build && cmake -GXcode .., like here:

Hi,

I have tried.. but I can't find executable app but I have find PPSSPP.xcodeproj generated

And here the logs

And while I run command make

 09:15 ppsspp (master) ✗ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

[unknownbrackets]

Ah sorry, if you use cmake -G Xcode it generates an Xcode project file you can build. If you use cmake .. instead (will now have to remove the build dir first), then it generates a Makefile for make.

If you just run ./b.sh it does the cmake and make version for you.

[fortezhuo]

Unfortunately.. I still found error message :

09:15 ppsspp (master) ✗ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

And I still try to run this command

cmake --build <build folder> --config release

And failed too

That looks like a problem with #11831, but if there was an error it was earlier up. Try this:

find /Users/forte/Downloads/ppsspp -name PPSSPPSDL

If it gives you a response (meaning it found a PPSSPPSDL) paste that into the Terminal and hit enter. It should run PPSSPP.

[fortezhuo]

Sorry for late response..

Finally it works just use "./b.sh" But I decided to purge existing ppsspp folder and re-clone again.
And PPSSPP.app 1.8.0 generated successfully..

PPSSPPSDL.zip

@unknownbrackets
Thank you for allocating time for replying this issue..

[poofeg]

@fortezhuo Can you build 1.9.4?

Thank you! I have build 1.9.4, A PPSSPPSDL.app generated successfully, and run the UI successfully, but when pay any game, it crash, could you please show me how to make it work? Thank you!

[govo]

This what I build for 1.9.4, but crash when run game roms.

Even I build 1.8.0, it still the same, can not run roms.

[unknownbrackets]

That's #12495. The latest macOS versions have increased security restrictions for jit.

1.8.0 works on my mac without issues

[unknownbrackets]

It's related to the version of macOS you're using, not the version of PPSSPP. You'll experience problems on Catalina or newer, but that's #12495. It has nothing to do with the builds.

-[Unknown]

[govo]

Thank for all of you! I build 1.9.4 in an old mac os, then it is successfully to run roms, even in Catalina.

This is the 1.9.4 ppsspp:
PPSSPPSDL.zip

Hope it can help :)

[hrydgard]

This doesn't fix the buildbot, but the Catalina-breaking bug has now been fixed, just for the record.

[govo]

Create job! Thank you very much!

[govo]

Hi , after playing "Metal gear solid peace walker", the one builded on Catalina still easily crash, but the one builded on older OS is more stable.

[unknownbrackets]

Apparently brew has ppsspp builds now. Maybe we should suggest people use that from the website.

Note: brew is using system ffmpeg though, which as we know causes problems.

-[Unknown]

[CatGreen90]

"Now"? Homebrew's ppsspp build have been around since at least 2017. (Probably longer, but I can't check because the original repo the recipe was migrated from was deleted.)

[unknownbrackets]

Fair enough, I hadn't seen it was added before. It's unfortunate that it uses system ffmpeg, but it seems like that's a decent workaround to these builds no longer being available?
