Title: Mac help
Post by: Nicanor on May 19, 2013, 05:19:48 pm
Hi there!

I'm excited to have found Enigma and also to see some names from the old game maker community (pre yoyo games). Can anyone provide a walk though for how to compile for MAC or have a current working DMG for Enigma that you are willing to share?

Thanks!

Our Mac maintainer seems to have fled his country, so I really don't know how ENIGMA is doing on Mac. We've tried to coordinate with him, but have just recently begun moving on as interest in the platform is very low. We'd be happy to walk you through trying to get it up and running again, but I can't promise anything at this point.

It's my understanding you'll need Apple's developer tools, along with a copy of ENIGMA's repository. If you're feeling jumpy, you can try to see how it's installed on Linux from the Wiki Git installation page (http://enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Install:Git). Otherwise, just check out from git, run install.py, and then run LateralGM's jar file, probably using [snip]java -jar lgm16b4.jar[/snip] in your terminal window.

Let me know how far that gets you.

Cheers

Thanks for your reply. I hope your Mac maintainer is okay.

For now I've dusted off my netbook and installed Enigma there. When I have some spare time I'll try to compile it for Mac.

All right; good luck, and let us know how it goes. Eventually, another Mac fan with a knack for C++ will come along and pick up the torch. I imagine our original Mac developer is just busy with university.

I dunno, but you have MacPorts, so maybe you have packages:
g++ zlib1g-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libalure-dev libvorbisfile3 libvorbis-dev libdumb1-dev

Regardless of packages, those are essential libraries that must be obtained in whatever way mac provides, and I'm fairly certain the mac installation instructions and dependencies pages on the wiki explain how to get those sufficiently.

I think XCode ships with 100% of all libraries ever written for OSX. I also think TGMG made sure Install.py took care of the rest of the setup and binary acquisition.
