<p>Bryan: notes on compiling for osx</p> <hr /> <div>== Compiling on MacOSX ==<br /> <br /> HebaruSan's 0.12 version for OSX didn't run for me, I think because it is a 32-bit executable and my system is 64 (in particular, my SDL libraries are).<br /> <br /> So, I decided to try compiling the lastest version myself. I cloned the repository, and checked out the lastest release tag, which is 0.16.3 as of this writing. Without any changes, running `make` gives some errors, but they are actually all benign and the executable ./bin/designer is successfully built and runs perfectly.<br /> <br /> * The same dependencies as Linux must be installed, I use [http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ Homebrew], but the process should be similar for any other OSX package manager.<br /> ** brew install sdl<br /> ** brew install sdl_image<br /> ** brew install sdl_ttf<br /> * Apple's command line developer tools must also be installed; they are freely available from Apple.<br /> <br /> '''Notes'''<br /> <br /> * The symlink to ./bin/designer is not created, because the --symbolic option to `ln` is a GNU thing and is not recognized by BSD's `ln`.<br /> ** Can be fixed by changing --symbolic to -s in the Makefile<br /> * Lots of errors from mkdir about directories that already exist, which are harmless, but can be squelched by adding the -p option to mkdir.<br /> * A handful of linker errors, which appear to be benign.</div>
