How to build the UltraStar application on MacOS 10.13 (make macosx-standalone-app)

[FerrisStorke]

I compiled the latest version of Ultrastar Deluxe on MacOS 10.13, but I am stuck on the last two steps:

Now build the UltraStar application make macosx-standalone-app

Run by clicking UltraStarDeluxe in your build folder or open UltraStarDeluxe.app

I do not know where to add the "make macosx-standalone-app" line. Thanks for your help.

[jbretsch]

Type the command make macosx-standalone-app into the same Terminal session that you used to run the ./configure command.

[FerrisStorke]

That creates the following line: make: *** No rule to make target configure', needed by config.status'. Stop.

[jbretsch]

The error message says that there is no file called configure in your current working directory. As the instructions state, this file is generated by running ./autogen.sh.

Perhaps you should re-run all commands listed in the build instructions.

If you get the same error message again then probably one of those commands (prior to make macosx-standalone-app) generated an error. Inspect those error messages!

I'm getting the following message, when re-running the commands:

[jbretsch]

Looks good. Now just run make macosx-standalone-app in the same directory in which you ran ./configure.

[FerrisStorke]

So this is what I put into my terminal windows once ./configure was executed:

xx:~ xx$ make macosx-standalone-app

and I get the following message: make: *** No rule to make target configure', needed by config.status'. Stop.

I don't really know what you mean by "run x in the same directory".

[jbretsch]

Strange. I can only reproduce the error make: *** No rule to make target `configure', needed by `config.status'. Stop. if I delete the file configure after running ./configure and before running make macosx-standalone-app.

[FerrisStorke]

There is a "configure" file in the directory that I ran the commands in and I did not touch it, but I am still getting this error message.

[jbretsch]

What is the output of make --version? And what is the output of make --debug macosx-standalone-app?

[FerrisStorke]

The output of make --version is: GNU Make 3.81 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

This program built for i386-apple-darwin11.3.0

and the output of make --debug macosx-standalone-app is Reading makefiles... make: *** No rule to make target configure', needed by config.status'. Stop.

[jbretsch]

Mmh. And what is the output of stat -x configure?

[FerrisStorke]

I'm getting the following line:

stat: configure: stat: No such file or directory

[s09bQ5]

@ferrisi9, I believe we are all a bit puzzled because on December 31 you posted the output of the configure script (= all those lines starting with "checking") and shortly after the script appears to be gone. Nothing should cause the configure script to be deleted. Are you really sure that you are in the correct directory?

[FerrisStorke]

There is still a "Unix executable" file named "configure" in the folder that I ran the ./autogen.sh and ./configure commands from. I think the previous problem was that I didn't run the make command from the same folder. I changed that by using cd and then dropping the folder in terminal and running the command. Now I am getting the following outputs:

• the output of make --version is "GNU Make 3.81 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

• the output of make --debug macosx-standalone-app is "GNU Make 3.81 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Thank you all so much for your help. I really appreciate it and I know I'm a novice, so sorry for taking such a long time.

[s09bQ5]

That still does not look like you are in the correct directory. The Makefile in the correct directory does contain a rule to make the target macosx-standalone-app.

Let's try it again:

• open a terminal window
• cd into the directory of USDX that contains autogen.sh, configure.ac, and Makefile.osx-helper
• execute ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make macosx-standalone-app (all in one command line)

[FerrisStorke]

Thanks, this finally worked and I now have an "UltraStarDeluxe" app. However, when I open it, the screen turns black for a second and then the applications closes again and nothing happens.

[FerrisStorke]

When running the ultrastardx file from the MacOS folder, I'm getting the following messages:

An unhandled exception occurred at $0000000100026759: EInOutError: Invalid file handle $0000000100026759 $000000010006602C

Thanks, this finally worked and I now have an "UltraStarDeluxe" app. However, when I open it, the screen turns black for a second and then the applications closes again and nothing happens.

MacOS Catalina 10.15.2

I have the same issue... open the app.. . turns black .. and then it closed automatically. Any Ideas?

[s09bQ5]

@ferrisi9, please attach your ultrastardx executable so we can try to resolve those addresses.

[FerrisStorke]

Unfortunately, I cannot directly upload that file type here, so here's a link to the file I uploaded: https://www.file-upload.net/download-13846421/ultrastardx.html

[s09bQ5]

$100026759 is inside CEnterCritialSection from the cthreads unit. $10006602C is after the call to TLog.LogConsole in _ConsoleWriteLn inlined from ConsoleHandlerFunc from the UCommon unit. Log must be <> nil to be able to reach that line, so Log.Lock should have been initialized...

Can you pass --enable-debug to configure and compile again?

[FerrisStorke]

So I typed the following in terminal: cd (dropped the folder here and pressed enter).

./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-debug && make macosx-standalone-app

The application that is created will still not open. Here's my log: https://pastebin.com/fnLXp42u

[s09bQ5]

The question is: What will it output now if you run it directly from the MacOS folder?

[FerrisStorke]

I'm sorry I do not understand what you mean? What will what output if I run what from the MacOS folder?

[s09bQ5]

On January 4 you posted the following output:

An unhandled exception occurred at $0000000100026759: EInOutError: Invalid file handle $0000000100026759 $000000010006602C

Please repeat what you did to get that output with the application built after running configure with --enable-debug. The output should look more verbose now.

[FerrisStorke]

I ran the command line: cd (drag and dropped folder) enter ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-debug && make macosx-standalone-app

Then I right-clicked on the ultrastar deluxe app and clicked on "Show Package Contents". I then double-clicked the ultrastardx file in the MacOS folder and I am getting the following lines in terminal:

An unhandled exception occurred at $0000000100026759: EInOutError: Invalid file handle $0000000100026759 $000000010006602C

logout Saving session... ...copying shared history... ...saving history...truncating history files... ...completed. Deleting expired sessions...43 completed.

[Process completed]

Did I do the "--enable-debug" part wrong to get the same error message again?
