Failed to compile on OS X 10.6

[victor]

I get this error after trying to compile ICE for OS X 10.6. Any guesses as to a possible fix?

Hi Victor,

Seems that your iconv doesn't support x86_64 architecture, the default 10.6 libiconv supports x86_64 so seems you have override it with other.

Check that:

otool -fv /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib 
Fat headers
fat_magic FAT_MAGIC
nfat_arch 3
architecture x86_64
    cputype CPU_TYPE_X86_64
    cpusubtype CPU_SUBTYPE_X86_64_ALL
    capabilities 0x0
    offset 4096
    size 1078816
    align 2^12 (4096)
architecture i386
    cputype CPU_TYPE_I386
    cpusubtype CPU_SUBTYPE_I386_ALL
    capabilities 0x0
    offset 1085440
    size 1053936
    align 2^12 (4096)
architecture ppc7400
    cputype CPU_TYPE_POWERPC
    cpusubtype CPU_SUBTYPE_POWERPC_7400
    capabilities 0x0
    offset 2142208
    size 1063552
    align 2^12 (4096)

If your iconv don't shows x86_64 architecture, you need to get a version that support this architecture, restoring from the 10.6 default or building it from sources with support for this.

Thanks for the help.

I bashed my head over this one for quite a while until i finally tried running make with sudo and it finally ended up linking with libiconv. (But I really have no idea why that helped.)

After that, I slowly collected one dependency after another and rebuilt (rinse and repeat) until this little beauty showed up:
make[3]: gmcs: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [../../bin/Ice.dll] Error 1

the entire output of the failed command is bellow:

edit: i guess this was a bit of a premature post on my part. slice2cs for C# but I'm guessing that mapping isn't supported on OS X.

You need to install mono if you want to build Ice for .NET. gmcs is mono compiler for 2.0 .NET runtime.

Most likely you have another iconv version installed in /usr/local and it's not used when compiling with sudo.
