# Building Clock Signal
|
|
|
|
Clock Signal is available as [a macOS native application using
|
|
Metal](#macos-app) or as [a cross-platform command-line-driven SDL executable
|
|
using OpenGL](#sdl-app).
|
|
|
|
## macOS app
|
|
|
|
The macOS native application requires a Metal-capable Mac running macOS 10.13 or
|
|
later and has no prerequisites beyond the normal system libraries. It can be
|
|
built [using Xcode](#building-the-macos-app-using-xcode) or on the command line
|
|
[using `xcodebuild`](#building-the-macos-app-using-xcodebuild).
|
|
|
|
Machine ROMs are intended to be built into the application bundle; populate the
|
|
dummy folders below ROMImages before building.
|
|
|
|
The Xcode project is configured to sign the application using the developer's
|
|
certificate, but if you are not the developer then you will get a "No signing
|
|
certificate" error. To avoid this, you'll specify that you want to sign the
|
|
application to run locally.
|
|
|
|
### Building the macOS app using Xcode
|
|
|
|
Open the Clock Signal Xcode project in OSBindings/Mac.
|
|
|
|
To avoid signing errors, edit the project, select the Signing & Capabilities
|
|
tab, and change the Signing Certificate drop-down menu from "Development" to
|
|
"Sign to Run Locally".
|
|
|
|
To avoid crashes when running Clock Signal via Xcode on older Macs due to
|
|
"unrecognized selector sent to instance" errors, edit the scheme, and in the Run
|
|
section, scroll down to the Metal heading and uncheck the "API Validation"
|
|
checkbox.
|
|
|
|
To build, choose "Build" from Xcode's Product menu or press
|
|
<kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>B</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
To build and run, choose "Run" from the Product menu or press
|
|
<kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>R</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
To see the folder where the Clock Signal application was built, choose "Show
|
|
Build Folder in Finder" from the Product menu. Look in the "Products" folder for
|
|
a folder named after the configuration (e.g. "Debug" or "Release").
|
|
|
|
### Building the macOS app using `xcodebuild`
|
|
|
|
To build, change to the OSBindings/Mac directory in the Terminal, then run
|
|
`xcodebuild`, specifying `-` as the code sign identity to sign the application
|
|
to run locally to avoid signing errors:
|
|
|
|
cd OSBindings/Mac
|
|
xcodebuild CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY=-
|
|
|
|
`xcodebuild` will create a "build" folder in this directory which is where you
|
|
can find the Clock Signal application after it's compiled, in a directory named
|
|
after the configuration (e.g. "Debug" or "Release").
|
|
|
|
## SDL app
|
|
|
|
The SDL app can be built on Linux, BSD, macOS, and other Unix-like operating
|
|
systems. Prerequisites are SDL 2, ZLib and OpenGL (or Mesa). OpenGL 3.2 or
|
|
better is required at runtime. It can be built [using
|
|
SCons](#building-the-sdl-app-using-scons).
|
|
|
|
### Building the SDL app using SCons
|
|
|
|
To build, change to the OSBindings/SDL directory and run `scons`. You can add a
|
|
`-j` flag to build in parallel. For example, if you have 8 processor cores:
|
|
|
|
cd OSBindings/SDL
|
|
scons -j8
|
|
|
|
The `clksignal` executable will be created in this directory. You can run it
|
|
from here or install it by copying it where you want it, for example:
|
|
|
|
cp clksignal /usr/local/bin
|
|
|
|
To start an emulator with a particular disk image `file`, if you've installed
|
|
`clksignal` to a directory in your `PATH`, run:
|
|
|
|
clksignal file
|
|
|
|
Or if you're running it from the current directory:
|
|
|
|
./clksignal file
|
|
|
|
Other options are availble. Run `clksignal` or `./clksignal` with no arguments
|
|
to learn more.
|
|
|
|
Setting up `clksignal` as the associated program for supported file types in
|
|
your favoured filesystem browser is recommended; it has no file navigation
|
|
abilities of its own.
|
|
|
|
Some emulated systems require the provision of original machine ROMs. These are
|
|
not included and may be located in either /usr/local/share/CLK/ or
|
|
/usr/share/CLK/. You will be prompted for them if they are found to be missing.
|
|
The structure should mirror that under OSBindings in the source archive; see the
|
|
readme.txt in each folder to determine the proper files and names ahead of time.
