Mac Osx Install Of 0Ad

[Ykkrosh]

Does it work better if you update to the most recent SVN (r8973 or later)?

[Quacker]

Lo and behold, r8973 compiles without issue, ./test gives 3 failures, and on ./pyrogenesis, I get this:

WARNING: Invalid locale settings
WARNING:   LC_ALL="(unset)"
WARNING:   LC_COLLATE="(unset)"
WARNING:   LC_CTYPE="(unset)"
WARNING:   LC_MONETARY="(unset)"
WARNING:   LC_NUMERIC="(unset)"
WARNING:   LC_TIME="(unset)"
WARNING:   LC_MESSAGES="(unset)"
WARNING:   LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
WARNING: Setting LC_ALL env variable to: C

And the application starts to run, but never actually comes up with anything; no GUI. It shows up in the dock and such, but I get stuck with a pinwheel till I force quit. With the "latest release" (8832) the game would actually load and I could see the GUI.

[Ykkrosh]

The test failures are expected. The game shouldn't hang, though - perhaps you could run it in gdb to find out where it's stopping?

Run the game with the command "gdb ./pyrogenesis" (assuming you've got gdb already - might need to do something like "port install gdb" if not), and it should say some stuff and then it should say "(gdb)", and then you should enter "r" (and press Enter), and wait a while for the game to start up (then it should hang like it did before), then do ctrl+c in gdb and enter "thread apply all bt full" and post the output from that.

Hmm, odd. Could you try recompiling with "make CONFIG=Debug" (instead of CONFIG=Release) and then run "gdb ./pyrogenesis_dbg" (the _dbg is the new executable) and do exactly the same thing? And then (assuming it still hangs), after the "thread apply all bt full", type "fin" and press enter several times until it stops printing new messages?

[Quacker]

One line alone:

#27 0x0000000100423733 in main () at locale_facets.tcc:2578

[k776]

I just tried to compile the game myself, got as far as opening up the game executable, and the same thing happened. The game had no GUI, it just printed some LC_* messages and did nothing.

Compiling threw no errors, only heaps of warnings from spidermonkey. I also remove atlas from the update workspaces script to it could compile. Not sure what's going on here.

Here is the backtrace from GDB: http://pastie.org/1597119 . It seems to hang in timer.cpp:152 (the 'fin' command never eturns to another gdb prompt).

A quick search shows this file was changes since Alpha 3. http://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/8515 and http://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/8516 .

All changes since revision 8000: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset?old_path=ps%2Ftrunk%2Fsource%2Flib%2Ftimer.cpp&old=8000&new_path=ps%2Ftrunk%2Fsource%2Flib%2Ftimer.cpp&new=8973

However, if I revert those changes, update workspaces, and recompile, it still doesn't work, so there looks to be multiple regressions :-(

P.S.  I've written up a guide with some very simple and quick instructions for Mac users. http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/MacBuildInstructions

[Ykkrosh]

Thanks, fixed.

(Technically it wasn't actually hanging forever, but you would have had to wait 41 years before it returned from the InitResolution() function.)

[k776]

WOOO! It works on Mac again. Hopefully with these instructions, it'll make compiling for Mac users a lot easier :-) http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/MacBuildInstructions

Edit 1: Aww, so close. I can load the game and submit my user details, but when I go to play a map, I get this: http://pastie.org/1599061

Here is the profile I got from the Mac. http://feedback.wildfiregames.com/report/user/2af9e2ea0a3e9dd5ffee421a14999d79e76e7f3e

Any ideas?

Edit 2: Talked with Philip on IRC and it turns out the error came from toggling from full screen to windows mode. A new ticket was made to handle it later on.

[feneur]

About the build instructions: How much is duplicate from: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions#OSX ? Or that doesn't matter too much, just make sure we only have one document in the end

[k776]

The new instructions use Homebrew, the old ones use MacPorts. The new doc is just a place for me to put my install instructions.When someone else confirms they work on a new laptop, I'll probably make the old instructions link to the new page.

The only thing that I can see (besides the "coming soon" and /path/to/source obviousness) is the link to Java Dev Package. That was definitely needed for my compile.

Under step four, Kieran, I'd put something like "for the latest official release, the source files are available (link) here. For the work in progress, follow the svn process." Otherwise, looks good. Much needed for those who come after us forerunners, lol. Thanks for starting it up, Kieran!

Phil, I actually looped around the sun and timed it to 40.99 years, so I was able to watch the game launch...but the dust on the computer caused it to overheat and crash once the game launched. Then I saw your post about fixing it and just decided to come back by going backwards around the sun. It's building now.

Edit- Build & Compile went smoothly, and Phil, it runs! Thank you so much for helping me sort this all out. I look forward to helping improve things on the Mac through testing and such.

Any improvement to play 0ad under OS X.

Any DMG file of Alpha 4 to test it.

Thanks for your amazing work.

[General Octavian]

When the Mac version comes out, will we have to download the macport or the program on the disk?

[Quacker]

Gen. Octavian, the goal for the final product is to have a self-installer, just like a game you'd buy off the shelf.

memmaker, if I understand your post correctly, you're asking if there are self installers or such for the game's Alpha 4 release. There is this page, which will take you where the latest official release is. That page has a link for two files in order to download the game's files, but you'll still have to compile. I recommend this page instead, which has the full process of downloading files through Terminal. It can be somewhat daunting, but we're working on a instruction sheet that will give a bit more detail and make it easier to follow.

The advantage of the second method (downloading all the files through Terminal) is that it allows you to update the game whenever one of the developers updates the files on the public server, and that ends up being several times a week, I've discovered. But don't hold them to that It was certainly handy when the build was giving me an error, and Ykkrosh (Phil) updated a file for me, I downloaded it using the Terminal method, and my game worked.

Does anybody successfully compile 0 A.D. Alpha 4 Daedalus for Mac OS X? Please offer a download link here.

You probably need to run "make clean CONFIG=Release" before rebuilding.

Do'h! I'm an idiot, don't mind me. Thanks.
