Sublime on Mac OSX: /bin/sh: love: command not found

[callcenterhero]

Hey friends. I have the licensed version of Sublime Text 3 on Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite. I installed all necessary packages according to the wiki page: https://love2d.org/wiki/Sublime_Text

This includes installing the packages to sublime, creating a build setup and adding love to my Mac's PATH variable (located in ~/.profile).

Whenever I try to "build" my code in Sublime, it errors out with the following input:

Code: Select all

/bin/sh: love: command not found
[Finished in 0.1s with exit code 127]
[cmd: ['love ']]
[dir: /Users/andrewcarr/Google Drive/GameDev/LUA/FuckinAround]
[path: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin]

However, I'll enter "love" into the Mac's Terminal and the program comes right up.

Any idea what could be causing this to happen?

I've no idea about Sublime, but...

Code: Select all

[cmd: ['love ']]

... there seems to be an extra space there. 'love ' is not the same as 'love'.

As you can see, sublime does not use the modified PATH you set in your .profile. This is likely because .profile is not always read, and I assume OSX does not read it before executing GUI applications. The easiest way is probably so specify a full path to love.

i could probably do that. Where in sublime would I specify the full path?

Try editing/creating ~/.bash_profile instead of ~/.profile when adding love to PATH.

It's weird. I am making everyone's suggested changes and it's like Sublime doesn't notice them. I set the build system, build a new build system, run "build with"... nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong

Another thing is that I can't figure out is how to get it to stop opening with /bin/sh. Mac OSX almost never uses that tool.../bin/bash is the default terminal. and the "love" command works just fine in bash. /bin/sh, however, does NOT recognize the love command. I can't figure out how to get sublime to notice that bash exists... it would be so much easier to just use that program instead.

Any other suggestions? I appreciate the help but I'm starting to run out of ideas. Sublime works just fine with Love on Windows 10... I don't understand why it's gotta be so damn difficult on Mac OS X lol

Hey,

I tried to make the instructions clear in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVZv3JePH60

The space in the path "Google Drive" might be the cause. Try running the build in a path that has no spaces.

.profile and .bash_profile changes might only register after logging in again. As seen on https://love2d.org/wiki/PATH , run the following in a terminal to make it work for the current session;

Code: Select all

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/love.app/Contents/MacOS/

Hope it will eventually work.
