Yes, the Mac OSX seems to be lagging this time - who put the dev version on the Versiontracker site as the latest build?

If someone is interested i put online my compiled version of Wesnoth (built using XCode 2.1 on Mac OS X.4.2, so i don't know if it works with previous configurations)
It works without problems on my old G4 and it's even faster than Sith's official version..

To run Wesnoth just download it here (12.9 Mb), unzip it, then open the Terminal..

Drag and drop the wesnoth app on the terminal window and press Enter..
You should be running 0.9.5 for mac 8)


I used the Yousendit service so the file will be available for 7 days only..

Ho hum, sorry Hellrider, but I'm getting an 'invalid or stale' link on that connection.

Could you check it over and see if there is a solvable problem.

Thanks

How can a file that small contain all stuff from BfW? The source is 40+ megs...

What makes a command line build different from one built with for instance XCode?

Anyway, is the version available somewhere?

Have you tried it? The dmg is 13 Mb but when mounted you get a 63Mb file which contains all the files needed to run the game.. I have already played a few multiplayer games, anyway if you don't want, don't download it :wink:
I just made it available for those who don't want to wait for the "official" release..

Pretty nice compressing, then. :shock:

I think I might give it a try, if school stuff doesn't take too much time this week.

Thanks for posting your build. Unfortunately, I get this:

Code: Select all

dyld: /Applications/wesnoth can't open library: /sw/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.0.dylib  (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap
Any thoughts?

That's the same problem we used to get when distributing the Xcode builds. The external libraries are being linked dynamically, which means the system assumes they will be there on your system. The other way to do it is to link statically, which I think means you include the libraries with the game.

At this point I think it would be easier to teach the mac people how to compile, since it was surprisingly easy with the command line (like ott has been saying this whole time). I have to say I still prefer the XCode version, but when in a pinch, do it yourself is ok.

There are instructions here: http://wesnoth.org/wiki/CompilingWesnothOnMacOSX
I added a summary at the end of the terminal section, and any instructions on how to do each step are included in the text above it.
Hope springs eternal.
