Mac Install?
Mac Install?
(Only asking this after half an hour of looking around, so either I'm a few screws loose or it isn't too obvious)
It says it's compatible with Mac OS X, but I can't seem to find the Mac compatible download. The Download & Install Instructions merely say "download the disk image and run the installer", yet there isn't a Disk Image (.dmg) on the list of downloads!
Can anyone point me in the direction of a working d/l for the Mac version?

you can take a look at this post : http://globulation2.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=51
Actually, there is no compiled version for mac because no developer owns a mac. However, you can try to compile from source.

That version is REALLY out of date. It'll give you an idea of what glob2 is like but there have been many enhancements since then. Taking a look at that page there is a link to darwinports and if I'm reading it right I think you can use that to compile the most recent code for mac but since I haven't even touched a mac since marathon1 came out (and that was on a friends computer) I can't really help you. I believe elvish pillager has a mac but he said on a similar thread that he hasn't been able to get glob2 to compile on it recently.
do not be afraid to joust a giant just because some people insist on believing in windmills.
I have compiled it without problems.Pmol wrote:I'm trying to compile the last version of Globulation since Friday.
But there some problems with the Sdl library...
I have installed ports speex, libogg, libvorbis, libsdl, libsdl_image, libsdl_net, libsdl_ttf, boost and zlib. And with the good environments variables (CPPFLAGS='-I /opt/local/include' LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib/' ./configure), configure then make went ok.

genix is the primary administrator for globulation but right now the glob2 engine is going through a massive rewrite. I'm not certain how much longer it will take but it apparently is at the compilation stage so it might be better to hold off a little before supplying a mac binary.

I've been working on installing this for a little while now, at first I couldn't get it to see sdl-config, but eventually I sorted that out. What I'm having problems with now is getting sdl_image to install (ie. what the globulation2 configure started complaining about after sdl-config).
SDL_image configures okay, the problem occurs during "make" I get hit with:
I'm on OSX 10.4.9, first gen macbook. (intel core duo 2.0GHz, 1GB RAM). Thanks in advance for the help.
Update: Solved this one by commenting "IMG_LIBS = -lpng -lz -ljpeg -ltiff -lz" out of the makefile for SDL_image, new problem is:
Of course, the wiki said not just to download and install boost, but boost-devel as well. However there is no boost-devel boost.org's sourceforge page.

/usr/bin/libtool doesn't exist, I've tried using cd to get to it. all the other sdl libraries installed without problems, I should be able to get globulation2 to configure once this is done, and I'm more than willing to create a dmg for others once this is compiled. (assuming I can figure out how of course.)/usr/bin/libtool: can't locate file for: -lpng
