Hi,
I am trying to compile ChatScript on a Mac but am having some problems. I tried compiling using

but am getting this error:

I tried also compiling in 32-bit, but to no avail:

So the question is: is it possible to succesfully compile ChatSript on a Mac?

Thanks

I don’t understand you trying to compile (and link) a single file.

Chatscript compiles under Windows, Linux, Mac, Ios, Android.

My Linux compile command while standing in the top level of ChatScript is:
g++ -lpthread -lrt -funsigned-char src/*.cpp -O2 -oLinuxChatScript 2>err.txt

Thank you for your reply. Wasn’t sure on how to correctly compile the code.

It seems that it still is not compiling even with the command you supplied. The output file “LinuxChatScript” is not being created. Here are the contents of err.txt.

Thank you for your time.

Yes, I can see you are not getting a compile w/o errors, hence no link.

I have seen the compile errors you got recently on another system.. and changed that source.

I will try to upload a new version in the next day.

Would appreciate that!

Thank you for your support and dedication!

new version up in sourceforge.

Ignore the warning messages about synsets as it starts up.

It’s working now, thanks! Had to remove the “-lrt” since Mac OS doesn’t seem to have librt. But the server has started fine, apart from the warning messages about synsets you mentioned.

Thanks again

Right.. there is a top level folder called MACHOS which stands for the OS of Mac (MACH)
and it has that correct build line.

I will figure out the synset complaints some time and fix those.

Didn’t notice the MACHOS folder. Are the synset complaints something to worry about?

no worries.

I keep strengthening the self-checking and validation capabilities of the system.
Then I discover “bugs” that have been there all along.
The system functions just fine.  Maybe a few neurons in the brain aren’t functioning perfectly but that doesn’t create a real problem. And those synsets are SO UNLIKELY to be used in a chatbot, flaws in their dictionary entries are of no concern. When I have the time, I will pin them down and fix them.

Liked that analogy! :D

Thanks
