Wesnoth 0.8.3 for Mac OS X

scott · Post by **scott** » August 28th, 2004, 2:04 am

It is time for the grownups to come back and assume the burden of making binary packages. I know what the problem is when trying to compile, it's the gettext libraries. After hacking at the problem for about a week with the CVS version, I am feeling really [censored] about the whole thing. That is all.

scott: thanks for trying to get it to work, even if you're having trouble this time, the mac community sure appreciates your efforts.

dude at least ur trying... i jus look at the files fer 5 minutes get a headache and go out side...

Thanks... Well, I had the same problem with SDL, but it was a lot easier to know exactly which SDL files needed to be referenced by the project file. With gettext, if I try to reference the whole thing, I get some error with .y files, and if I try to pick and choose, I miss something. I'll keep trying!

i have gettext from Fink, so i staticly linked it in (so people don't have to have it), see:
http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2863

EDIT: for new comers, here is the final link (to my build, with data):
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wesn ... p?download

the two main things about it are that it won't work on OS X 10.2 (only 10.3), and it doesn't have any translation files, so only english works (sorry

)

Penguin, your help was invaluable. Thanks!

Here is the link to your binary from the user forum:

Doesn't work. Here is the crashlog:

Yep, ditto for me, no go in 10.2.8.

Works in 10.3.5, though...missing the full tags for weapon modifiers when you go over to the RH info for the creature highlighted, just shows 0% Vs. <blank>, -10% vs <blank> (doesn't actually say <blank> !!)

Did you cross compile it for both 10.2.8 as well as 10.3?

Works fine for me (10.3.5).

Thanks a heap, scott.

However, there is one bug, I'm not sure if it was there before or if it's new; (in windowed mode) If you resize the window while the story/intro is being shown, the picture is not redrawn, all you get is a white window. Return button takes you to next screen though, but it is drawn in the same size as the original window size.

Post by **penguin** » August 29th, 2004, 4:00 pm

that's probably because wesnoth doesn't support sizes lower than 800x600 - but yeah, it should just not let you go lower instead of messing up like that.

scott: no problem

btw, i generally don't use Xcode to compile, i just do it all in the terminal, it's really quite easy (if you have the SDL libraries with fink). once it's set up all i have to do to update is go
cd wesnoth
cvs -z3 up -dP (or "cvs -z3 up -r vX_X_X -dP" to get to a version)
make
make install (optional, i usually do this when i go to a version, and i have it set up so "wesnoth" runs the installed version, and "wescvs" runs the cvs version)

Sorry I was unclear: It is both when I enlarge or shrink the window (in windowed mode) that it goes blank. I don't think it has anything to do with resolution. Once the actual game starts it redraws the screen, and the trouble goes away.

I didn't cross-compile (I'll look into it). I think the text problems aren't my fault (honestly!). Try using the help screen if you want to see what I mean.

What I like about the Mac that I don't necessarily about Windows is that you don't feel like you're going to hose the system if you try something. So I might try doing it in the terminal.

On the other hand, I would be willing to store your binaries, penguin. The university doesn't seem to mind yet. But really if we're at the point where someone really knows what he's doing, *cough* *penguin*, you should just put it on sourceforge.

Resizing code is kinda difficult to write, so we haven't written it for every possible screen, only the screens where we think resizing is likely -- title screen, in-game, and multiplayer lobby. If you resize it on a screen that doesn't support resizing, the window will likely resize with the extra area being blank. The problem will correct itself when you arrive at a screen where resizing is supported.

I think this is a reasonable compromise...

Dave: On mine, if you resize on a no-resizing-intended screen, the window starts flashing and it can't be fixed until you put it back at the original window size.
