I was wondering when we could expect a playable Mac alpha?

Star Control 2, re-released, for free, for Mac OS X, open-source, with internet play, and editable everything under the sun, and maybe even more... I need to change my pants.  Yes I said Mac. Pants.

Related question: is the OSX port going to use Aqua or XDarwin?  Is it going to require Jaguar or will it run on 10.1.x as well??

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, you're ahead of me.  I can't seem to get past the "Simple MediaDirect Layer not found." message...

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.
