[Swarm-Support] Re: Swarm 2.2 on Intel (and PPC) Mac OSX

[Brandon M. Gabler]

To Bill: Thanks for the Swarm help!

I now have Swarm nearly functioning on my Mac.

However, when I first compiled my code, here are the errors I received 
(multiple
of each type when compiling, but different filenames, such as 
ObserverSwarm.o in
place of Main.o below):

/usr/bin/ld: warning -L: directory name
(/Users/billn/Public/Swarm/swarm/macosx/build/src/collections) does not exist

/usr/bin/ld: main.o bad magic number (not a Mach-O file)

/usr/bin/ld: warning /usr/local/swarm2.2/lib/libswarm.dylib cputype (18,
architecture ppc) does not match cputype (7) for specified -arch flag: i386
(file not loaded)

I'm guessing I have a reference to the wrong directory somewhere in the
architecture, as well as a few other flags that need to be changed to -arch
ppc, but I am not familiar enough with the Mac yet (only have had it a 
week and
a half) or unix to mess with this stuff without getting lost along the way.

Does anyone have suggestions for fixing those errors? I'm going to try 
to piece
through the -arch i386 errors myself to find those files, but I am 
unsure about
the rest, since I thought setting SWARMHOME would resolve the other issues.

Thanks,
Brandon
