I know that since the developer team has little or no access to Mac machines it's been hard to get Mac builds up. In the past, at least in the case of 1.08, users has been contributing builds themselves. For 1.08, malex984 did the work to get it running pretty much flawlessly. Can it be done again, for 2.0 this time? Anyone else with the skills up for it?

 

Also, congratulations on the new release! Milestone stuff!

Here's a quick guide to installing, so you can see if you missed any steps:   1. Download the 2.0 binaries from Malex' mydrive: mydrive.ch with username darkmod@malex984 and password darkmod 2. Downlo

I may be interested to do the Mac adaptation, depending on the interest in it.Who will be ready to help out and test it?

Hi Malex, I was the one who updated the instructions to the wiki for your 1.08 update. I now have a 'Hackintosh' (Core i7 2.6Ghz, nVidia NVS4200) which should be just about fast enough to do testing on.

TODOs i am thinking about:

* make a git repository with official sources (exists already) and fixed sources for OSX (not yet),

* produce instructions on creating working setup and building binaries

 

 

Besides, I will likely refrain from producing binaries for everybody (there will be source updates only).

Therefore please get and install XCode (preferably the latest available for your OSX) if you want to help or test.

 

Any comments?

Least I can do I guess, although I'm not very apt in compiling. :)

For the next 'major' release I plan to have us moved over to cmake/sdl, which will remove a lot of the work/effort on the OSX side of things, I will need people to test it. But yeah, I do plan on trying to make the OSX side a lot more pleasant to build :)

Next major is still far away I suppose?

I had a hard time dealing with BOTH scons and xcode projects when i was adapting TDM 1.8 for OSX :(

For me a build system with cmake would be very handy :)

What is its state right now?

I am going to do the whole port from scratch again, it took 3-4 full days last time to get it perfect-ish. I will be porting on FreeBSD -Current, so we share a fair bit of similarity, should be fairly easy once its all done.

 

I will start on it this weekend. I assume we'll do a minor revision for some path issues in the next few days (just new bins), but... yeah other than that I don't see a point trying to rush the porting work.

My git repo (https://bitbucket.org/malex984/tdm/) is a bit out of date right now but i will update it soon.

This repo is private but i can invite any bitbucket user as a collaborator - please register and let me know your nickname there.

 

ps:

Alternatively, i could make this repo. public, but i am not sure about the current policy of the TDM core team with respect to the mirroring of the official SVN repo.

Please let me know if it would be Ok?!

Besides, as i was out of touch for quite a while - what about an official git mirror for TDM?

I also tried compiling using this guide and got no where, though I didn't have much time to try and figure out where it went wrong. I installed scons using Homebrew so this might have caused some problems with environment variables. The very first error that cause the compilation to fail was:

In file included from game/../idlib/precompiled.h:135,
			 from game/precompiled_game.h:28:
game/../idlib/../renderer/qgl.h:47:16: error: gl.h: No such file or directory
In file included from game/../idlib/../renderer/qgl.h:58,
			 from game/../idlib/precompiled.h:135,
			 from game/precompiled_game.h:28:

 

and then a slew of errors after that.

 

I'm not sure what the flag MACOSX_TARGET_ARCH="i386" is supposed to do. I could not find a reference to it in the SConstruct file, though I admit I dont know much about scons.

 

Anyways, I'd like to help in the work of getting a Mac build of the game.

My specs are:

Model Identifier: MacBookPro3,1

Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Memory 6 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB

Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)

Why, i wonder, ONLY x86 bit cpu architecture is supported and 32 bit host machine is assumed during the build process?

Does this mean that there will be no 64 bit build of TDM?

 

Further on, what is the point of GLimp? GL-logging?

The Dhewm 3 branch merge should resolve the 64-bit question. As for the lack of PPC? This may be a remnant from changes that were made when it was presumed we would not

be getting any assistance with the MAC builds? Perhaps this will help you find the missing bits:

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
