How to compile in Mac OSX

Hello, I'm interested in trying the last improvements of the game, but I never tried to compile anything in Mac, when I can found a guide about how to do it?

http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/wiki/ ... sourcecode

The one there should help a bit. Then again, maybe not, as I'm not aware of anyone who's actually followed it.

If you have any questions, just post again. If you find anything that should be added, feel free to do so!

However, beware. OSX is not very friendly.

Yes, I know that OSX is not the best OS to compile things, but I'm using a MacBook.
I'm going to try to compile it in a Mac-intel

Good Luck! It can be done, I think hellcat put some time to get it cranking on macintel, but what hackery was required I do not know

i am currenty trying to do the same thing.
I have used mainly darwin ports, for the dependencies, however i had to use fink to install python.
In the vegastrike directory there is a script called intel-mac-conf.sh. This just calls the configure script specifying a lot of directories for the libraries, I updated this to the location of the darwin ports directories (/opt/local). I then ran the script.
On the first compile it complained that the 10.3.9 sdk were for powerpc and that did not i386. With no obvious way to change the location of the sdk files, I manually edited configure.ac and replaced 10.3.9.sdk with 10.4u.sdk it then compiled.

I am still working out the details but seems ok

Hope this helps

Tim

I have done a bare bones addition to the wiki, with the relevant changes for macintel. If someone could try and I will try and pad out where any problems crop up.
