Latest mac SVN won't start

[Phlogios]

I get a really, REALLY long error string:

Code: Select all

...

Then, when the window is loaded, and I press Campaign, the program quits unexpectedly, and the terminal says:

Code: Select all

...
</Planet>
</system>

UNIT HAS DIED: wormhole.stable  (file wormhole.stable)
UNIT HAS DIED: wormhole.neutral.stable  (file wormhole.neutral.stable)
Bus error

I updated VS just now, to see if the white-background-problem had been fixed.

*poke*

I want to see the new derivative :(:(

[Phlogios]

I still can't play

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Looks like any one who knows is on a bit of a vacation Phlogios hang in there

I suspect some invalid data. Are you running a stock SVN version (no local modifications)? It's possible that a modified version of units.csv conflicted with the stock version.

If you aren't sure, type "svn status -q" and look if there are a lot of changes (especially watch out for any C's since they conflicted and are now corrupt)


For debugging, first of all, make sure you are using Windowed Mode... else it will get stuck in fullscreen after it crashes. Then, run the game using:
gdb ./vegastrike

(this should be inside the directory "VegaStrike.app/Contents/MacOS"

Then, at the (gdb) prompt, type "run".
When it crashes, type "backtrace" and post the output (hopefully it has some useful function names.

Thanks ace!

units.csv and modelview were conflicting, so I restored units.csv and it works!

... but the game is still unplayable; It seems it hasn't been compiled since before the texture name changes. The background is white.

Unfortunately the Mac binaries are a bit hard to compile in a cross-platform way... it's supposed to be possible to compile it as a 10.4 universal binary but I haven't figured out how to set that up for all the libraries that VS links to. Hellcat knows how to do this.

But I should at least be able to get a 10.5 Intel binary compiled on my macbook.

[Phlogios]

I need an intel binary for 10.4 :/

MacBook Pro

[ace123]

the mac does seem to have a 10.4u SDK but statically linking libraries is the hard part.

Yeah for the most part 10.5 and 10.4 are pretty compatible because they use the same compiler.

Anyway I'll talk to hellcat to see how easy it is.

[Phlogios]

I just got a new MacBook Pro with the latest OSX, and the white background problem is still there.

You said it wasn't much trouble to compile a new binary for 10.5?

Feel free to use my computer to compile it, if you don't have a mac yourself. Just tell me what to do
