OSX Trunk

[mattington]

Hi,

I'm not sure where to ask.. I play crawl local tiles for OSX and the trunk version is nearly three months old. I'm dying to try out new Vehumet and changes to recall for minions. Does anyone know the update policy for OSX trunk?

Thanks.

The new stable version (.12) will definitely be available for Mac and it's not ludicrously far away now.

Thanks for getting back to me. I wonder if we could bother him to make a monthly or bi-weekly build.

Or maybe I should just play stable .11

In my opinion it'd be good to at least get a Mac build immediately after the code freeze which is very soon so we can catch Mac-specific bugs before release.

You can always grab the source and compile it yourself of course! (It's not as hard as it sounds!)

It's not as easy on macs, from what I've read.

It's actually super easy. Just install XCode via the AppStore, go into XCode prefs to install command line tools via download preferences (see http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/ ... e_4_3.html) and make sure you have git.

Then it's:

git clone git://gitorious.org/crawl/crawl.git
git submodule update --init
cd crawl/crawl-ref/source
make APPLE_GCC=y NO_PKGCONFIG=y CONTRIB_SDL=y TILES=y
./crawl

I haven't been able to get XCode to build an app bundle, but the above works just fine.

The OSX build instructions in INSTALL.txt seem somewhat out of date - they don't mention Xcode or the command line tools. At some point if you have time, since you know the platform, do you think you could write some slightly updated instructions for that doc?

[mattington]

Thanks a bunch, HenryFlower! On my system the below worked, but could be how I've configured git. Regardless, your instructions got me there.

git clone git://gitorious.org/crawl/crawl.git
cd crawl
git submodule update --init
cd crawl-ref/source
make APPLE_GCC=y NO_PKGCONFIG=y CONTRIB_SDL=y TILES=y
./crawl

[HenryFlower]

Gack, those are the right instructions. I'll edit INSTALL.txt, and attach a diff to a Mantis ticket.

Also noticed that since Crawl forces gcc/g++, will stop working, because Apple has moved to LLVM. See:

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/ ... e_4_6.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012895-SW3

I'll see if I can make progress on this but I'm not a Makefile guy.

Interesting ... we'll have to cross that bridge when we get it, I guess. Thanks for your help anyway, I'll apply your patch today.
