However i updated to 10.6 "snow leopard" on friday hoping for some good news about the OpenGL, and it seems that OpenGL is now upto 2.0. so the game can now run.
the only problem is this :
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581 SDL wont build on snow leopard, but they are working on a fix in the next release, so you should be able to get it to compile if you use the UNSTABLE subversion code for SDL, however i am unsure about that.
so for anyone trying to compile spring it might be a good idea to wait to upgrade. :)
i did manage to get the old spring engine to run against the old libraries that i linked it to, so it CAN run on snow leopard, you just can't compile it yet.
Yeah, already caught out by that. Upgraded to Snow Leopard, but cannot build SDL, so cannot build Spring. Oh well :)

Fail, SDL doesn't build??

I can provide a compiled 0.80.4 for any OSX user?
:)
send me a pm with your email and I can tar.gz it?

I have just pushed the fix for sound attenuation to my branch. I'll upload the bundle later.
Spring can be compiled and runs fairly well on my Mac now, so I am trying to run springlobby on my Mac. It can be built fine expect for this:
http://translations.springlobby.info/issues/show/390 and adding #define __WXMAC_CARBON__ solved it. It can load unitsync without any problem here and singleplayer works well.
Then I run a TASServer on my Mac and connected to it. When I try to host a battleroom, add a bot in it or join it, Springlobby crashes with a following dialog.
Code: Select all
Critical error
The application has generated a fatal error and will be terminated
Generating a bug report is not possible
please get a wxWidgets library that supports wxUSE_DEBUGREPORT
Both 0.19 and the one from git have this problem. Torrent system is disabled because I haven't tried it yet.
I tried to build wxWidgets with bug report support by configuring wxWidgets with "---enable-debugreport" and building it, but I cannot get bug report support so far. Does anyone have any suggestion?

mind joining #springlobby@freenode or #springlobby in the official lobby server so i can help debugging it live?

Intel's OpenGL support on most of their chipsets is pretty weak:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA# ... d_chipsets
My official recommendation is just plain "Don't attempt to play Spring or anything at all graphically strenuous on Intel video, it will just make you miserable"

not to say anything bad about springlobby
but QT lobby is MUCH better for OSX online purposes, no crashing when joining games. Much easier to compile too :)
I will add to the spring wiki for OSX!
[edit]
Very close to a .dmg release of 0.80.4 + Qtlobby
The only thing that I can't get working properly is springsettings...
Once that is sorted, MacOSX will be a viable option for spring players
I have played about 5 games tonight using QTLobby + Spring with no crashes / desyncs
Played an 8v8, 5v5, Speed metal etc etc
So happy :D

I run Spring on a newish Windows PC with an Intel chip. Took a lot of fiddling to get it going, but it works on low settings until you get the nasty SimBase game of endless maker/fusion spam. Non-geometric-growth-games like Kernel Panic or CA work fine (except for invisible flamethrowers in CA).
Doesn't run in Linux.

ran spring on linux with an intel 945 gma, even worked in WINE.

Ive tried Spring on laptop with intel 965 gm and linux, it runs otherwise but ground textures dont show. Actually its not a huge hindrance, depending on map, I even play with it sometimes...

Since Im running OS X 10.6 Snow Leapoard, if at some point it would be possible for me to pull out a git repo and build with minimal hassle, and no applying patches or merging or hunting for special case dependencies, could someone make a great big fuss over it and can we have this mess sorted out?
I would like to see the main master repo building in all 3 major Operating systems, not 2 plus an OS X branch. Even if the main master didn't quite work as nicely, it would still be a vast improvement, and a huge incentive towards maintenance work, and a huge help.

Can you commit the changes in float3.h:36 and floap3.cpp:24 that was posted earlier in this topic to master, Tobi? It seems they haven't commited yet.
Well, could my branch be merged to master? Or will it screw up stuff in other platforms? If so, what can I do to fix it? If my branch were merged, I think it would be possible to just get the main master and to compile it on Mac following the adso's guide.

ok so. remember the 2.4 ghz laptop i offered up earlier. well i have sent it into apple so many times becouse of issues. i have had every part in 2 year replaced at least 3 times, all under apple care so it was free :). But now there gona send me one of the new 17" laptops meaning the 2.8 ghz with 4 gigs of ram with snow leopard. so now im offering that as something to test everything on. just let me know.

Guys, I am SO close to having a OSX .app ready for release.
I've just got to make sure all the dylibs reference each other from within the actual app bundle.
My OSX install has gone belly up after filddling with a few things, but I should be back in operation shortly!
I must give special thanks to Belmakor who has been helping me fine tune the release.
In the end the OSX download will be a single .DMG file with a copy of Spring, Libunitsync, QTLobby (until Springlobby is more stable under OSX) & Springsettings that can be installed in your Applications folder and run like any other application.
I feel this will be the easiest way to deploy the OSX version as most OSX users do not have a Linux / Unix background and won't want to have to compile / install things through the terminal.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please feel free to let me know :)
Or if you think there is an easier way to deploy spring, I would love to hear it!
Redwyaster5 - Spring will run fine on your laptop, I can't see the point in providing you with a WIP version just to check it. My OSX is running on a Tripple Core 2.8ghz AMD with 4gig of 1066mhz DDR2 Ram and an NVidia 260GTX
As long as there are no major problems with bundling the apps, I will have a release that people can beta test on their system by the end of the week. And once I am happy that it runs on any Intel based system, I will provide the appropriate files to the webdevs here for download.
I don't mind compiling / rebundling each update either :)
Just trying to give back as best I can with my minimal coding ability!
Okay, I'm out again!

Besides my own 3 test machines, all running Snow Leopard:
- MacPro 2 x 3.0GHz Dual-core Xeon, 12GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT + ATI Radeon X1900 XT
- MacBook Pro 15" 2.4GHz core 2 duo, 4GB RAM, NVidia 8600M (iirc)
- iMac 24" 2.4GHz core 2 duo, 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO (iirc)
Adso is very very close to having a Mac OS X build we can all enjoy - the last bundles he sent me only needed tweaking for included libs and ease of install and he also sent me an out of date unit sync (otherwise I could have played online, as I was able to run spring and hang out in the lobby using qtlobby).

Please let me know if there is a fix for this, or if i am doing something wrong. And if this is the wrong place to post this, then I am sorry.
I am compiling on OSX 10.5.8, and i have installed the latest releases of boost and so on from macports.

Look back through the thread a page or two (or three). There is some info on fixing the float stuff. Dunno why the fix isn't already in the source in the macfix branch though.
