Hi Everyone,
Im trying to get AXPBox running on a Mac using Monterey but am having no luck.
I was able to compile it, however SDL and X11 are both not found for the GUI - I have installed X11 and it isnt detected because “x.h” is not found - which seems deprecated.
SDL is now up to SDL2 and does not seem to hold any support.
Has anyone had any luck using AXPBOX emulating an Alpha ES40 on a Modern Mac, and if so, your steps?
Adrian
I did it!
prereqs:
brew install sdl12-compat
patch:

make -j8
ive patched but during “make -j8” I receive
/Users/adrian/axpbox/src/AlphaSim.cpp:37:10: fatal error: ‘SDL/SDL.h’ file not found
I did do the sdl12-compat also…
Its like my SDL isnt in a standard location?
Is it in /opt/homebrew/include?
The cmake command you shoud use is this:
cmake . -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include/ -w" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include/ -w" -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS='-L/opt/homebrew/lib'
Run that in the top level of axpbox.
Only folders in my opt directory are x11 and bin.
I’ve searched my drive for sdl.h and the only instances are in a QEMU download from last year….
Did you install sdl12-compat from homebrew?
If you did, run brew list sdl12-compat.
Yes.
It confirms its installed and running the brew list command shows as follows
Warning: sdl12-compat 1.2.68 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 1.2.68, run:
brew reinstall sdl12-compat

/usr/local/Cellar/sdl12-compat/1.2.68/lib/ (2 other files)
/usr/local/Cellar/sdl12-compat/1.2.68/share/aclocal/sdl.m4
Try using
cmake . -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/ -w" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/ -w" -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib'
Apparently the prefixes for newer and older homebrew installs are different.
Thank you for your help so far - it finally built and could configure with SDL…
However running now I am getting another failure… I have checked and putty is installed in brew.
I downloaded the listed ROM exe from a site and put it in the rom folder as well.
I feel I have missed something really simple and critical here… My brain is just friend from covid and weeks working on TK-50 Tapes.

I installed putty via macports instead of brew and that resolved that issue - it now fires up and then crashes out…

Try changing putting HAVE_SDL back to how it was before (git restore CMakeLists.txt)
and changing HAVE_X11 instead, and then run the same cmake command, to build with x11 instead of SDL.
I’m running this on my intel, and looking at the help thread there doesnt seem to be a result.
Ill try X11
Now im getting
/Users/adrian/axpbox/src/gui/gui_x11.cpp:48:10: fatal error: 'X11/Xatom.h' file not found
#include <X11/Xatom.h>
Xatom.h is not on my machine anywhere… X11 quartz was downloaded and installed recently along with Xcode.
It seems to be provided on macports by https://ports.macports.org/port/xorg-xorgproto/
EDIT: try installing xorgproto from brew.
[ 1%] Linking CXX executable axpbox
ld: library not found for -lX11

Installed - now the make j8 has gone backwards. I feel like such a n00b.
Does /usr/local/lib/libX11.dylib exist?
No, it doesnt.
Ive now run
brew install libx11
and moved that file into the /usr/local/lib/ and now obtain
XAllocColorCells returns error. Maybe your screen does not support a private colormap?

I assume its something to do with the link to the missing file and permissions…
Why not try without GUI?
Would that be sufficient for what you are trying to do?
