Any one up for OSX work.

It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isild-- oh, wrong line

But seriously, thanks a lot! You’re the best Also thanks for the clear explanation, next time something like this occurs, I’ll know what actually happens.

We’ll know for sure when compiling has finished, but I’d bet my bottom dollar on it.

[WhiteFang]

Marvellous ! Thanks for the explanation.

I look forward too see the end of the next build

[rdb]

DMG is updated. Let me know if it works.

[WhiteFang]

WOHOO

setShaderAuto() works

Thanks a bundle !

[rdb]

Great! And thanks to you for your patience and for reporting this bug in time

I’m aware of the syntax errors in the cartoon shader and will get that fixed soon.
Are the problems with the “not powerful enough” bug fixed, too?

[WhiteFang]

Yes, for all the samples but the Cartoon-Shader/Tut-Cartoon-Shader-Basic

Strangely enough, the advanced one works while the basic doesn’t…

[rdb]

Hmm, sounds like a parasite-buffer-vs-real-buffer problem.
If you want, could you try out the new DMG and see if it works?
I’m pretty sure it will work now. Plus, it prints out some debug information (marked with “DEBUGINFO”)

[WhiteFang]

Tested, and works

Thanks!

[rdb]

Really? Sweet What does it print out?

The important line here being: DEBUGINFO: GLGraphicsBuffer: 1
and everything after it noise from a incorrectly written shader ?

(additional edit) Sorry for the late answer, I was interrupted, and thought I had pushed “submit”

I have tried the other demos (those that aren’t specifically announced as shader demos) and one of them worries me.

The firefly demo (which used to crash badly) doesn’t crash anymore.
But there’s an error which I havn’t traced the source for yet:
$ python ./Tut-Fireflies.py
DirectStart: Starting the game.
Known pipe types:
osxGraphicsPipe
(all display modules loaded.)
:util(warning): Adjusting global clock’s real time by 0.776161 seconds.

:display:gsg:glgsg(error): Could not load Cg fragment program:/Volumes/Diburnium/Users/thor/Downloads/panda3d-1.5.4/samples/Fireflies/model.sha (arbfp1 Error on line 2: unrecognised option (hint: ‘ATI_draw_buffers’))

Now, since I have an nVidia graphics card, I don’t know why it would want to call the ATI_draw_buffers function (if any such exists).

The demo runs, so to speak, but since it’s using dual buffers, and the shader isn’t running, it’s output is nil.

Then, adding to the conveyor belt Have you done any audio work on Panda ? The ffmpeg port seems to think that I’m calling the PlayStation audio functions or something, and as such, it’s rather random if and when the audio works - or not (which is more common).

[WhiteFang]

Another strange one:

In the Motion-Trails demo, the background should be something, but is actually a partially overlapping 2-d image of bits and pieces that have at some time been in my display buffer…

Running the demo today displays parts of a presentation I was working on yesterday, partials from a panda project I was working on yesterday, a black frame white boxes…

Very strange… (not that it affects me directly, not yet at least, but I thought you’d want to know)

[rdb]

I’ve already fixed the bug with the syntax error, and have recently checked it into CVS (but have not updated the DMG yet, I think.)

I don’t really know about the ATI_draw_buffers thing. Can you try and execute this command:

glxinfo | grep -i ati_draw_buffers

I don’t have a clue about why ffmpeg behaves oddly. Note that you can also switch to OpenAL by editing the Config.prc file and replacing “p3fmod_audio” with “p3openal_audio”. I have no clue how stable the OpenAL implementation on OSX is, though.

[WhiteFang]

The outpu from glxinfo yields nothing, so I grepped for “ati” with the following result:

$ glxinfo | grep -i ati
    GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, 
    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_MESA_allocate_memory,

    GL_NV_vertex_program3, GL_ATI_texture_mirror_once, 
    GL_ATI_texture_env_combine3, GL_ATI_separate_stencil, 

I ran a simple project I have on ffmpeg. Figure that it decides to (mostly) work now (it doesn’t all that well on my laptop)

The error it spits out is:
:audio(error): _channel->stop(): An invalid object handle was used.

If I get that error, the subsequent sound won’t be played (usually, although finding a pattern isn’t that easy…)

But if I switch to OpenAL, life gets more… umm… interesting

So, apparently, OpenAL isn’t the way to go - here…

@rdb

If I only had a Mac with a graphical display I would have been able to debug and fix this.

Every time you say that I have this recurring fantasy where I tell my good friend Steve Jobs to send you a computer.

Ok, back to the audio issue - if anyone has an idea

The system uses ffmpeg (since OpenAL doesn’t work at all on OS X)

@Roger

!!! pview Works On OSX !!!

So I am making good progress. What IS my environment?

1 All code from CVSs root.
2 Darwin 10.4 . 10.3 and earlier have a bug in dylib loader and c++ constructors.
3 External modules are loaded from Darwin ports collection .
4. Build enviorment is pprenake ( ./configure osx as target)
5. Python version is 2.4 from python.org/download/mac/ (used installers)

Roger

I kinda hate to resurrect such a old thread, but it does apply.

I am trying out panda on mac tiger and trying ./configure osx, but it stops very soon complaining that it can’t find install-sh,and ‘.’ is a path it claims to not find it in, and im sure it IS there.

Is this a weird mac path issue or some ENV path issue or something I"ve yet to setup ?

thx anyone

I suggest you use the makepanda script to compile Panda3D rather than ppremake. It’s a lot easier to use. This thread dates back to when makepanda didn’t support OSX yet.
