[Tutorial] Building Spring on Mac OS X

[daftalx]

In other words it is not possible to complile spring on lion right now?

Not via the MacPorts way at least. Some may have tried "manually" with success, but I for one didn't upgrade to Lion yet so can't report on that. Honestl though, compiling on Lion won't have many advantages yet, as there were no major breakthroughs in the standard code base spring relies on. As a matter of fact, quite a few ports haven't resisted the Lion upgrade and many have gone unhappy...

How did you try to contact the libdevil maintainers? Via macports?

MacPorts has its own trac system for bug reports. If you submit your bug over there (restricting your log to the libdevil portion) the maintainers will be notified.

Thanks again for your feedback. I submitted a ticket. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31744

I am using Lion hence it was shipped with my new mac . So there is no other opportunity beside not buying a new Mac :D ....

Well I could build it on my own, however I am not quite sure what to do with future changes. How do I tell MacPorts that I have have libdevil installed manually.

Not sure I follow you entirely... Why do you *absolutely* want to build spring on Lion, while you can already download and play with the current pre-compiled binaries (.app) ?
The automated build on Lion will come at some point later on, sorry if I miss the point in rushing things more than they need

Spring 88.app is working fine on lion. Where do I get the current version of the lobby client. I did find:

http://springlobby.info/macosx/koshi/

Two questions:
* The versions says 0.144 is th elatest version?
* How do I setup the unitsync shared lib path in the settings tab?

I found 0.144 here:
http://springlobby.info/macosx/buildbot/

I still have issues to locate unitsync lib...

[t_o_c]

I found unitsync on my hd:

/Applications/Spring_88.0.app/Contents/MacOS/libunitsync.dylib

However the lobby client still does not like it:

"Could not Access your settings"

"Unable to load you unitysnc lib..."

The easiest way is to use Notalobby on Mac.
