Title: Mac OS X
Post by: davedude on November 01, 2014, 04:30:15 PM

Hi!  My name is Davedude (call me Dave), and I am a little familiar with Enigma, but have not been very involved with the community or the project.  I do not know how to code (I want to change this and am planning to take a computer science course starting next fall so I should have a basic knowledge of Java by Summer 2016).

I own a Mac running the latest OS (10.10) and I was wondering if it is possible to run Enigma on this computer.  If so, how do I do it? 
I have Xcode as well...

I would love your feedback! Thanks!

Edit: I read some more...
I used python install.py mac but didn't get any binaries.  I ran it twice.

I know my basic way around computers, but would not call myself an expert.  I am considering a Linux VM but would LOVE to compile to Mac.

Also, does Enigma compile to android?

From there, you should be able to run lateralgm.jar using Java. Do you have Java installed? Running java -jar lateralgm.jar should open it.

The short answer to compiling for Android is "not right now." Our Android port is ancient and unmaintained, and no one has gotten it working in a long time.

We have made some improvements in the graphics department however with Android. Our OpenGL3 graphics system is being actively worked on by TheExDeus in the hopes of porting it easily to OpenGLES, which is OpenGL for Embedded Systems. I wonder if sorlok could weigh in here as he has built for Mac before, I'll ask him.

I am not a Mac developer, and my current approach is to cross-compile from Linux to OSX. However, I have compiled in ENIGMA on OSX in the past. A few things I remember about the experience:

• The default gcc-lvm didn't work for me (due to a JDI issue with strings). Instead, I used gcc48 from MacPorts, or possibly clang from MacPorts (can't remember).
• ...so, in other words, I had to hard-code the compiler into the compiler/ENIGMA Makefiles.
• I remember having to add "-I./ENIGMA" in a few places, although I've been told that's not required.
• Run "python install.py" and check if you have MacOS/build/Release/EnigmaXcode.app/Contents/Info.plist. If so, the command worked.

Try building and tell me what issues you run into. I can probably help a little bit (although, again, it's not my exact area of expertise).
