Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/cy384/ssheven/issues/32

Trying to compile the 68k version of ssheven results in linker errors on my end regarding pretty much all of OpenTransport.

Log output

I imagine I have something misconfigured (did I get the wrong download for the Interfaces and Libraries? Is MPW_fully_updated.sit from the Macintosh Garden not good?) but I'm not sure what. The PowerPC version compiles just fine, but not this one.

That sounds like the 68k libs are missing from your retro68 install. I got my copy from http://old.mac.gdn/apps/mpw-gm.img__0.bin and used basilisk with a shared file mount to copy the files out. Note that you need to have the resource forks preserved:

Especially on non-macOS platforms, make sure that the Mac resource fork of the PowerPC library files is included in a format recognized by Retro68. Recognized formats include MacBinary II (e.g., Interfacelib.bin), AppleDouble (._InterfaceLib or %InterfaceLib) or Basilisk/Sheepshaver resource forks (.rsrc/InterfaceLib).

I believe the PPC data is stored in the data fork (doesn't get lost easily) while the 68k data is stored in the resource fork (does get lost easily).

Well in this case the library files are just archive files right? You might need the rforks for some files but not these ones.

oh, I forget if it has one set of files for both or if there are actually separate library files for the two platforms

I haven't tried it, but there's a script included with retro68 that can extract the files appropriately from a disk image: https://github.com/autc04/Retro68/blob/master/install-universal-interfaces.sh

Downloading from your source and then using the script (which seems to have given me what was given earlier) did not work. I can actually test with nm to confirm nothing shows up.

➜  Retro68 nm ./toolchain/m68k-apple-macos/lib/libOpenTransport.a | grep OTBind
➜  Retro68 # nothing

I'll look into the rfork thing.

Actually are you able/willing to give me your copy of InterfacesAndLibraries so that I don't have to dig out my brother's Macbook and extract it there?

...embarrassingly I don't know what I was hoping to accomplish when I asked for this after establishing that it was an issue with rforks.

I should have asked if you can give me the translated archive files that go in the toolchain folder, since those don't have missing information I have to worry about.

I develop on linux, so those files should work fine on any OS regardless of resource fork filesystem support. Alternately, here's the 'processed' version that the build process assembles; extract as a folder called "universal" in the folder called "toolchain".

Well, this works for your project.

Funny thing though...I actually didn't have interest in building this project. I was trying to use your port of libssh2/mbedtls to make an SFTP client. And after doing this, that project still gets linker errors...weird...

I wonder what I'm doing differently?

Other then that I guess I'll close since it's not an issue of the repo anymore.
