I cloned the brenwill Cinder repo:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/brenwill/Cinder.git

and built Cinder:

    cd xcode
    ./fullbuild.sh

During installation, I got this error:

    ld: file not found: /Users/mtomasello/Cinder/xcode/build/cinder.build/Debug/cinder_vulkan.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/CodeGen.o
    Command /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld failed with exit code 1

After this error, I get the messages that a series of build commands failed, all in this vein:

    The following build commands failed:
    	CompileC build/cinder.build/Debug/cinder_vulkan.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/CodeGen.o /Khronos/SPIRV/glslang/glslang-bw/glslang/GenericCodeGen/CodeGen.cpp normal x86_64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler

    ....

When I try to run the only xcode sample, FishTornado, I get the error:

No such file or directory: '../../../../lib/libcinder.a'

when running on release configuration and a similar message for '../../../../lib/libcinder_d.a' when trying to run in degub configuration because of course I don’t have these files.

I then tried running

xcodebuild -project cinder.xcodeproj -target cinder -configuration Debug

and got the error

What am I missing?

@marie

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Thanks for letting us know about this.

There was a configuration error in the submodule configuration for the brenwill/Cinder repository…which has been fixed now.

Please follow the instructions again…including the recursive clone of the brenwill/Cinder repository. It should work now.

Thanks…

Done! Thanks. Now I get the error

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_MTLFunctionConstantValues", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in MoltenVK(MoltenVK-x86_64-master.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

@marie

Hmmm…are you building on Sierra or El Capitan?

MTLFunctionConstantValues was introduced in macOS 10.12 (Sierra).

MoltenVK will run on macOS 10.11…but it is built…and expects to be linked…in macOS 10.12.
