Couldn't make on Mac OS X 10.8

[Overv]

Which version of nasm do you have? The manual states that dq is supposed to be an 8 byte constant.

[drakmail]

@Overv my nasm version:

MineAssemble|master ⇒ nasm -v
NASM version 0.98.40 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 11) compiled on Aug  4 2012

[Overv]

@drakmail I'm afraid you'll have to find a way to update NASM on OSX, because it seems incredibly out-of-date:

overv@li517-161:~# nasm -v
NASM version 2.08.01 compiled on Jun  2 2010

[drakmail]

With nasm from brew:

MineAssemble|master ⇒ /usr/local/Cellar/nasm/2.10.07/bin/nasm -v
NASM version 2.10.07 compiled on Jun 18 2013

Now something is wrong with gcc :)

[Overv]

You can substitute -Ofast with -O3 -ffast-math. (It's not the same, but it has the same intent.)

[drakmail]

Almost done:

[Overv]

From some searching around the internet, it seems like the OSX version of ld doesn't support elf. I'm not sure what the implications of changing everything to the mach-o format would be.

Try changing -felf to -f macho and -m elf_i386 to -arch i386. (See this post)

[drakmail]

Another error... and man ld on mac os x doesn't include any reference to scriptfiles.

I'm afraid then that the OSX version of ld is too restricted and will not work.

[drakmail]

I'll try ld from the brew soon.

[Overv]

@drakmail Any luck?

[drakmail]

@Overv couldn't find ld in brew =/

[Overv]

@drakmail I'm afraid then that this is a case where OSX simply doesn't offer the tools for a niche use case like this. When I worked on my MacBook on this, I used a Linux VPS to compile :V

[SevenBits]

Well, that really sucks. OS X is the only *NIX machine I have consistent access to. I want to try this... I might just fork the problem and see if I can get it working.
