Is it going to require Jaguar or will it run on 10.1.x as well?? Title: Re: Mac port Post by: Chad on December 10, 2002, 08:25:42 pm Unless I totally misunderstood a discussion on the developers's e-mail list, a Mac OS X port is now up and running. I have no idea how well though. I don't believe the OS X port was working at all when the other "alpha 0.1s" were released.
Title: Re: Mac port Post by: quux on December 10, 2002, 08:56:55 pm I have the game running on my TiBook and it runs very well. There are some small bugs unique to the mac, but they should be fixed quickly. I can't speak for the core team, but I'd expect that the next alpha release should have a binary for OSX. I don't see any reason why the game wouldn't build on 10.1.x, but I don't have any 10.1 boxes to test with.
The game uses SDL, which uses Quartz or OpenGL on MacOS X for graphics, so XDarwin isn't requred. Title: Re: Mac port Post by: Nic. on December 10, 2002, 09:44:49 pm <MR LASTNAME="Burns">
Excellent. </MR> Title: Re: Mac port Post by: random guy on December 12, 2002, 01:37:12 am quux what did you have to do to the build scripts to build on osx?
Title: Re: Mac port Post by: quux on December 12, 2002, 09:35:34 pm Quote quux what did you have to do to the build scripts to build on osx? Not much, i had SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, and Ogg Vorbis installed via fink. The only thing i needed to do to the version in CVS was modify build/config_proginfo to make the build system look in /sw/include and /sw/lib for vorbisfile. Title: Re: Mac port Post by: iamlindoro on January 01, 2003, 06:55:43 am Okay, went into the config_proginfo file, and switched references for vorbis to /sw/bin and /sw/lib, where I have fink installed.. I have installed ALL the fink vorbis packages, from stable and unstable--
the build gets as far as checking for vorbis, but cannot find it.. any guesses as to what the problem is? libvorbis0-shtools and libvorbis0 are installed, and fink will not update them, soooo... Any help would be appreciated. Iamlindoro Title: Re: Mac port Post by: macNoob on January 01, 2003, 10:07:35 pm Well, you're ahead of me. I can't seem to get past the "Simple MediaDirect Layer not found." message...
Title: Re: Mac port Post by: Quobobo on January 02, 2003, 10:07:54 am Hmm... someone needs to be so kind as to post a compiled version on sourceforge. :)
Title: Re: Mac port Post by: Niles.Donegan on January 02, 2003, 08:44:34 pm I'm at the point of having SDL 1.2.5 installed (I got it from www.libsdl.org), so instead of having the "layer not found", I get a fatal error saying the version of SDL can't be determined. Hmmm.
