Make executable from DAT file - Mac

[Sunlis]

I'm part of a team developing a game for the iPhone/iPod, and I'm the only one on a Mac so they've tasked me with compiling the game for the app store. I was given a .dat file and told that I just needed the geapp xcode project (which I got) to compile.

I have the latest Xcode (3.2.5) and iOS SDK (4.2). I've been unable to find ANY documentation related to this, so here's what's going on:

I opened up the xcode project and changed the Code Signing Entity to my certificate and changed the Base SDK to iOS 4.2.
Figured I'd go for broke and try a debug compile there, but I just get 2 errors and a warning:

Code: Select all

[BEROR]error: There is no SDK with the name or path 'iphoneos3.1.2'
[BEROR]Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer: Andreas Kindlbacher (CL9NK6TTMF)' doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain
[BWARN]warning: Build setting "iOS Deployment Target" should not be empty (current IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = "").

I really don't know where to go from here. All of my experience with programming has been small-scale and Xcode boggles my mind. For example, what the heck do I do with this .dat file? Is it supposed to go somewhere within the xcode project?

Thanks for any help. =)

Hello. Just checking, have you looked at these two topics? I'm told following the first one works, whether or not it is what you need.

That first one got me close, now I'm getting an error relating to the 5th/6th step.

Code: Select all

Code Sign error: a valid provisioning profile matching the application's Identifier 'com.omniarts.kidkrusader' could not be found

Could have something to do with the fact that I can't select the actual certificate under gameEditor iPhone Player's info, I can only choose "iPhone Developer" or "iPhone Distribution".

Figured that one out. I had to plug in my iPhone and put a Provisioning Profile on it.

Now I'm getting some HUGE errors, which require more parsing before they're ready for the public, but here's the headers for them:

Code: Select all

  "___restore_vfp_d8_d15_regs", referenced from:
{Insert massive list of files/functions here}
"___save_vfp_d8_d15_regs", referenced from:
{Insert massive list of files/functions here}

Make sure u are compiling for Device. Emulator is not supported.

Well I've finally been able to get it to compile and install on my iPhone, but it crashes about 5-10 seconds after launch. Only a black screen shows.
GDB doesn't report any errors, in fact it tells me that the program exited normally.

Then the engines seems to work and couldnt find your datfile. Make sure you attached your datfile to your project and has the same name
as project:

Project: game then datfile: game1.dat

You can also name it game1. Then it should be found everytime the engine starts.

[Sunlis]

The project name is "KidKrusader", so I tried naming the .dat file:

KidKrusader.dat
KidKrusader
KidKrusader1.dat
KidKrusader1
game.dat
game
game1.dat
game1

None of which worked.

Send u a request for professional support. Requires to be licensed.

same problem here. what did you do to fix this?

EDIT: nevermind, got it. was because of "build active architecture only" or something...
