openFrameworks and AppCode

|

Developing an openFrameworks app with AppCode is pretty easy. However, if you just open and run the project created by the project generator, you might see the following errors:

Building a stock openFrameworks app results in these errors

Why doesn’t it just work?

This is because openFrameworks doesn’t support 64 bit builds yet on the Mac, due to a dependency on the deprecated QT framework. More on that here.

What’s the quick fix?

Set your project’s architecture to i386 (32 bit) in it’s build settings:

Ensure that you set both, your project's architecture, as well as openFrameworks' architecture to i386
Ensure that you set both, your project’s architecture, as well as openFrameworks’ architecture to i386

Once you’ve done this, your run configurations should shortly say 32 bit Intel instead of 64 bit Intel:

Run configurations now say 32 bit. Yay!
Run configurations now say 32 bit. Yay!

Kudos! Run your project now, and it will work right out of the box!
