I used Macports to install all of the dependent software right before compiling so it should all be the latest versions. When I ran make, I got:

```auto
make all-recursive
Making all in src
  VALAC easyrpg_editor_vala.stamp
editor.vala:283.2-283.31: warning: method `Editor.save_project_data' never used

make[2]: *** [abstract_imageset.o] Error 1

```

Any ideas as to why? Thanks.

Hi redspark!

Which is the output when running:

gcc --version

I have a virtualized OSX 10.8.2 for further testing at home. Did you use homebrew or macports?

Thanks for responding. I’m using Macports on a non-virtualized OS X 10.8.2. The output is:

`i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)

Your current gcc version is a bit old, however your error could be fixed by removing the line:

-Wno-unused-but-set-variable\

from [configure.ac](http://configure.ac) and run ./autogen.sh again.

Would it be better to upgrade the compiler? I think I’m using whatever came with Xcode or Mountain Lion by default.

It will be necessary if you want to compile EasyRPG Player for OSX, but for Editor is OK with gcc 4.2.x. The -Wno-unused-but-set-variable is just a “don’t show this warning” setting only and can be safely removed.

Ok. Thanks. I’ll up date it.

I’m getting a tonne of compiler errors. I don’t know if I did something wrong or not but here they are:

It’s OK, all compiler issues were just warnings. It’s normal for Vala translated to C source code.  
Compiling was successful, only one issue with the linker: “unknown option: --export-dynamic”

Edit src/Makefile.am and remove this:

easyrpg\_editor\_LDFLAGS =   
-Wl,–export-dynamic

Then run ./autogen.sh again

Ok. It seems to be running now. A lot of the glyphs are broken images but it seems to be working so far. Thanks.

Yes, the broken glyphs is a known configuration path issue and it happens in Win32 and GNU/Linux too.  
I’ll try to improve the settings for OSX building fixes, according with your feedback. Thanks!
