Build Error: Mac OS X

[Bruce]

The following error occurs right at the end of the build process - it appears to compile fine but at the very end when it attempts to link the file:

Any ideas?

I've no idea what's wrong there. Did you follow silnarm's guide?
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/glestae/wiki/CompileGuideMac

The linker didn't find a main function (crt is part of libc). Something is really messed up here. Better start again with a clean build directory and try to follow silnarm's guide. Did you use MacPorts to get the dependencies too?

If that doesn't work please post the file glestadv.LinkFileList as it looks like it holds the object files which should contain main.

Just to bring everyone up to date, I spoke with Bruce on IRC yesterday. He was originally using the 'proper' mac frameworks, which work with MG, thanks to GeoVah's source changes.  I was obviously avoiding any source changes when I was getting it working on Mac, as I would be unable to maintain any of it, so for GAE we build Unix style using the macports versions of everything (except OpenAL).

Unfortunately, even after pointing CMake at the macports versions of everything, he got the same error.  He is now concentrating on getting the MG bundle working correctly.  Next time I'm at my parent's place I will take some more thorough notes on what I did.
