CocosBuilder build failed on Xcode. Can somebody pls upload a working binary?

[edudemy]

Cloned the latest CocosBuilder and tried to build it. It failed.

If someone downloaded the CocosBuilder binary file (from the previous site CocosBuilder.com) or have built a binary pls upload it on dropbox or else where, and post the link here.

Same here! I get for "git submodule update --init --recursive" fatal: reference is not a tree: b51de15acb37d72719b03314771e4caa04e57a33 Unable to checkout 'b51de15acb37d72719b03314771e4caa04e57a33' in submodule path 'cocos2d-iphone'

I also have the same problem. Please tell me how to solve.

[edudemy]

Trying to execute the ./BuildDistribution.sh file under scripts directory in Terminal.

It says missing CCMenu.h while compiling CCBPMenu.h -- seems we have to locate the exact commit of the missing file.

Seems like CCMenu folder has been altered/tampered when the project was abandoned in favor of Spritebuilder project a year back. The other folders date 2 years back - look for working commits from year back.

Thank you for your comment. I obtained working binary. And I deleted the CocosBuilder source. So I couldn't that. Sorry.

[shinhirota]

I changed 2 files and was able to build it.

[edudemy]

In which file is this second diff? @shinhirota @58721e1

Subproject commit ...

[shinhirota]

Strictly speaking, it is not a file but checkout of submodule. Please try

$ cd CocosBuilder/libs/cocos2d-iphone
$ git checkout e15080a4569a7dd80737d8c6f2206fcf91ca098f

This fatal: reference is not a tree: b51de15acb37d72719b03314771e4caa04e57a33 was quite annoying.

I have made some initial fixes that will at least get you past getting all the proper submodules: 3351040a54f590e0ae4a46ec5c8b2247777887d9

There is a multi-step process in order to make this work (detached HEAD) with the latest for tag “release-1.1-RC0”

1. Under the root directory of this repository, edit the “.gitmodules” with the following diffs:

Can you post the configuration setttings and steps you used for the build.

[ryanlee0]

Understand me though my English is a little awkward, I am not good at English. I think the reason build failed is [cocos2d-iphone] submodule. When I did "git submodule update --init --recursive" command, cocos2d-iphone folder was empty. So I just did "git checkout" to change commit to "Commit : 5e8fdee5cdc4450ad32f5a8579ee6a0fdcbb1cfa", "Date: May 22, 2013 at 2:29:31 AM GMT+9" But, there was no "ccFPSImages.m" file. So I just down load that file from another github project. And I could build it successfuly.

Okay just worked through this.

Make sure you pull branch v3.5.0.

Step 1: Follow patrickhoey's Step 1 and modify .gitmodules

Step 2: Make sure you're in the root directory of the CocosBuilder project and run: git submodule update --init --recursive

This will error on cocos-iphone-classic.

Step 3: cd CocosBuilder/libs/cocos2d-iphone

Step 4: git checkout 5e8fdee5cdc4450ad32f5a8579ee6a0fdcbb1cfa

Step 5: Get a copy of this project in an entirely separate directory. There have been files removed at some point that need to be re-added. https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone-classic

Step 6: Copy the following files from the cocos2d-iphone-classic project: cocos-iphone-classic/cocos2d/ccFPSImages.m --> CocosBuilder/libs/cocos2d-iphone/cocos2d/ccFPSImages.m cocos-iphone-classic/cocos2d/Support/uthash.h --> CocosBuilder/libs/cocos2d-iphone/cocos2d/Support/uthash.h cocos-iphone-classic/cocos2d/Support/utlist.h --> CocosBuilder/libs/cocos2d-iphone/cocos2d/Support/utlist.h

This worked for me.
