Ok, I've build another image for MacOSX who is expected to fix previous issues, you may download it from

ftp://victor.teaser.fr/pub/lwa/wesnoth/ ... 0.9.5a.dmg

(47Mb)

Changes from previous images :
- add the map editor
- fix "Web" menus
- when you press the Control key during startup, the frame rate is displayed
- faster due to a correct SDL framework
- binary may be run from terminal at any place
- some useless and dangerous startup routines removed
- really compiled for MacOS 10.2.8 deployment target (I hope so)
- minor typos and bugs fixes.

Really nice work. The framerate doesn't drop as low when scrolling as in the former version. :) It's smoother.

Thanks. :)

If it works, let's put it on the downloads page because I can't update apple.com until there's a download link. Can anyone confirm it's compatible with 10.2.8?

On the other hand, if 0.9.6 is coming soon, then it can wait. Thanks, Iwa!
Hope springs eternal.

Thanks Iwa, it seems to work great on OS X, 10.4.2.

Tried it out. It ran as good or better than 0.9.4 on my system running OS X.3.9. Thanks for sharing this with us.


One possible issue:
When I attempted to copy the Wesnoth application into my applications directory (overwriting the old one), I got an error message. It wouldn't copy it because "libiconv.2.dylib" was in use.

I restarted the computer, copied 0.9.5 into my Applications folder and it worked. Then, just to try it out, I copied the 0.9.5 app into my Applications folder again after playing the game, and I got the same error message.

Is there some dynamic library stored in the game that remains running after I exit? Is this supposed to be happening?

Probably another Mac OS X ghost.
I included libiconv to be compatible with MacOSX 1.2.
libiconv is shipped in Mac OS X 10.3 and may be used by other apps.

What you can do, is to seek the application who need libconv
with this command in the Terminal :

Code: Select all

sudo lsof | fgrep libiconv
(If you kill the listed apps, you should be able to make the copy.)

Could someone repeat the operation described by Rogue, get the issue, run the code before killing anything and send me the output ?

I'm unsure that libiconv is needed by Wesnoth itself. But tt was required
by gettext who is needed by Wesnoth.

If theyre is still unexplainable issues about this, I will link a static version of libiconv but it will make the build process more hairy is someone else would want to build a release. Another possibility is to remove the 10.2 compatibilty.

I would positively like to know. It is compiled for, but the 10.2 SDK
is unavaiable for C++ (Westnoth is written in C++). 10.2 is just the target and it could remain some unresolved symbols.

Fine. On next image, I will localize the name of the Application, when
the translation is avaiable (french speaking people will have a "La Bataille pour Wesnoth" app, by example)

Yet another Mac OS X build :

ftp://victor.teaser.fr/pub/lwa/wesnoth/ ... 0.9.5b.dmg

(41Mb, for some reason, it's smaller)

Changes from previous :
- new menus un windowed mode. In fact, most of them
are keyboard macros (excluded turbo, mute, fullscreen)
and work only in a game.
The menu is unavaiable if theyre is no shortcut attached
and some may do nothing depending the context.
This new menus are localized.
- The name of the applications are localized.
- Manuals have a .txt extension (instead of .french, for example)
- Update ambigous "Launch editor" menu entry.
- Removed the need of libiconv to avoid conflicts
- Disk image name containt the version number
- Background logo in the image for the Finder
- Rewritten the Xcode project to make less uneasy to build.

IMHO, the windowed mode is less playable than full screen, but
the menus may help beginner to learn shortcuts.

If it didn't work in Mac OS X 10.2 before (who knowns ?), it is a little chance to be better now.

Oops, the third-party framworks are missing.
I didn't noticed in my test because I need to have them installed to compile.

I will drop a fixed image monday. If you want to test until then,
you may copy with the terminal the Contents/Frameworks directory from the application bundle of a previous Wesnoth binary.

Thanks for report.

You may be interested to know that Sithrandel has released his version of 0.9.5.

And if the changelog is anything to go by, 0.9.6 may be imminent.
A witty saying proves nothing.
