How to build XMLConverter on Mac

Made with Ogre 1.0.4 | OSX 10.4.2 | XCode 2.1
Tested with Ogre 1.0.4 | OSX 10.3.9 | XCode 1.5

First, open XCode and make a new project

Choose a Command line utility : Standard tool

Then choose your project directory and name : xmlconverter for example...

get rid of the main.c

Add the existing files :

• From ogrenew/Tools/XMLConverter/include :
  • OgreXMLMeshSerializer.h
  • OgreXMLPrerequisites.h
  • OgreXMLSkeletonSerializer.h
  • tinystr.h
  • tinyxml.h
• and from ogrenew/Tools/XMLConverter/src
  • main.cpp
  • OgreXMLMeshSerializer.cpp
  • OgreXMLSkeletonSerializer.cpp
  • tinystr.cpp
  • tinyxml.cpp
  • tinyxmlerror.cpp
  • tinyxmlparser.cpp
• From ogrenew/Mac/XCode/Classes :
  • SDLMain.h
  • SDLMain.m

 
Add the frameworks :

• Cocoa from /System/Library/
• Ogre, SDL & zzip from ~/Library/

 
In tinyxml.h, add #define TIXML_USE_STL on the first line to avoid conversion errors with Ogre::String

In main.cpp, wrap the main function with : extern "C" { }

This should be like this then :

extern "C" 
{
    main (int numargs, char** args)
    {
        ...
    }
}

 
Then go to your project options

in header search paths put : $(HOME)/Library/Frameworks/Ogre.framework/Versions/A/Headers

in framework search path put : $(HOME)/Library/Frameworks

Hit build and enjoy !
