Problems building on OS X

[tnlogy]

Have anyone managed to get InfiniSim running on OS X? I've made a small attempt, but haven't had much success. I did get it to show the start screen, but no events are working (maybe due to that I had to rewrite some code).

Summary of making it compile:
Change to using https://github.com/trenki2/SDL2Test/blob/master/cmake/FindSDL2.cmake to find SDL. (Installed with the downloadable dmg-file with development libraries from SDL homepage https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php)

Then I had to change some code in the Alarmcontroller.cpp:
auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now(); alarmTime = now; time_t ttAlarmTime = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(now);

Then I had to remove the call:
// SDL_CreateThread(tick_thread, "tick", NULL);

And modify the while loop to force the UI to be visible:
SDL_Event e; bool quit = false; while(!quit) { SDL_PollEvent(&e); if (e.type == SDL_QUIT){ quit = true; } // SDL_Delay(LV_DISP_DEF_REFR_PERIOD); // lv_tick_inc(LV_DISP_DEF_REFR_PERIOD); // Crashed when called here or in tick_thread. fw.handle_keys(); // key event polling fw.handle_touch_and_button(); fw.refresh(); usleep(LV_DISP_DEF_REFR_PERIOD * 1000); }

If I run it with unmodified code it crashes with: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'nextEventMatchingMask should only be called from the Main Thread!'

Maybe this can be of help if someone else tries to make it work on a Mac?

I couldn't build on Mac OS Ventura (M2 Apple silicon) neither.

I had the error :

DateTimeController.cpp:72:66: error: no viable conversion from 'time_point<[...], duration<[...], ratio<[...], 1000000000>>>' to 'const time_point<[...], duration<[...], ratio<[...], 1000000>>>'
  std::time_t currentTime = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(currentDateTime);

Thus, I made a change on DateTimeController.cpp on line 72.
I added a cast like this :

std::time_t currentTime = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(
    std::chrono::time_point_cast<std::chrono::system_clock::duration>(currentDateTime)
);

---

Then, to be able to run the simulation, I also did the changes to main.cpp (As tnlogy said above) to fix this error :
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'nextEventMatchingMask should only be called from the Main Thread!'

But I pretty sure we can find a better fix.

PS: I haven't investigate yet and I don't know what is the given infinitime firmware, but nothing seems to work. I can't quit (without a kill), can't touch anything...

I'm having issues as well. I had to make the same change to DateTimeController.cpp as @adrienluitot. I've had to do the same SDL2 stuff.

However, I am running into a different issue. I cannot even get the project to build. I get linker errors:

I can see issue #144 is closed. OP has same linker issues. However, they fixed by using a VM (aka sidestepping the entire issue). So I think it's worth to keep this issue open.
