# Attempting to build the Cocoa frontend fails with NSInternalInconsistencyException # macOS Specific Issues
## Attempting to build the Cocoa frontend fails with NSInternalInconsistencyException
When building on macOS, the build system will make a native Cocoa app by default. In this case, the build system uses the Xcode `ibtool` command to build user interface files. If this command fails, you can fix this issue by starting Xcode and letting it install components. After this is done, you should be able to close Xcode and build successfully.

SameBoy on macOS expects you to have SDL2 installed via Brew, and not as a framework. Older versions expected it to be installed as a framework, but this is no longer the case.

## Tools and Libraries Installation
For the various tools and libraries, follow the below guide to ensure easy, proper configuration for the build environment: For the various tools and libraries, follow the below guide to ensure easy, proper configuration for the build environment:

For [libSDL2](https://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php), download the Visual C++ Development Library pack. Place the extracted files within a known folder for later. Both the `\x86\` and `\include\` paths will be needed. For [libSDL2](https://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php), download the Visual C++ Development Library pack.

#### rgbds ### rgbds
After downloading [rgbds](https://github.com/bentley/rgbds/releases/), ensure that it is added to the `%PATH%`. This may be done by adding it to the user's or SYSTEM's Environment Variables, or may be added to the command line at compilation time via `set path=%path%;C:\path\to\rgbds`.

#### GnuWin ### GnuWin
Ensure that the `gnuwin32\bin\` directory is included in `%PATH%`. Like rgbds above, this may instead be manually included on the command line before installation: `set path=%path%;C:\path\to\gnuwin32\bin`.

Like rgbds above, this may instead be manually included on the command line before installation: `set path=%path%;C:\path\to\gnuwin32\bin`.
If errors arise (i.e., particularly with the `CREATE_PROCESS('usr/bin/mkdir')` calls, also verify that Git for Windows has not been installed with full Linux support. If it has, remove `C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin` from the SYSTEM %PATH% until after compilation. ## Building

#### Error -1073741819 ## Common Errors
### Error -1073741819
If encountering an error that appears as follows: If encountering an error that appears as follows:
> make: *** [build/bin/BootROMs/dmg_boot.bin] Error -1073741819 ``` make: *** [build/bin/BootROMs/dmg_boot.bin] Error -1073741819```
Simply run `make` again, and the process will continue. This appears to happen occasionally with `build/bin/BootROMs/dmg_boot.bin` and `build/bin/BootROMs/sgb2_boot.bin`. It does not affect the compiled output. Simply run `make` again, and the process will continue. This appears to happen occasionally with `build/bin/BootROMs/dmg_boot.bin` and `build/bin/BootROMs/sgb2_boot.bin`. It does not affect the compiled output. This appears to be an issue with GnuWin.
### The system cannot find the file specified (`usr/bin/mkdir`)
If errors arise (i.e., particularly with the `CREATE_PROCESS('usr/bin/mkdir')` calls, also verify that Git for Windows has not been installed with full Linux support. If it has, remove `C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin` from the SYSTEM %PATH% until after compilation. This happens because the Git for Windows version of `which` is used instead of the GnuWin one, and it returns a Unix-style path instead of a Windows one.
