I think I can fix that, not entirely sure. If you have the developer tools installed, try following the instructions here: http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/30104 That should make the wrapper program not appear in the dock, so only the tmw executable will (The other way around would be b...

You can find a nice mac-like version of that binary at http://devserver.org/david/tmw-0.0.14.1-mac.dmg I'll be posting on the wiki with instructions and source for packaging the raw binary/data files up, adding an icon, making the get info box work right, etc... (most of which I haven't done for thi...

<snip> I think we'd better keep the platform wars off this forum. Who's trying to start a platform war? I run both platforms and they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, the Mac has a substantially smoother and more graphically rich user interface. I was responding to Tenche.

I still prefer my Windows machine over my Mac mini... the Mac is just too slow by comparison (only a 1.25Ghz Power PC G4 processor). I guess its not really a fair comparison though, since I run a Dell 1600 PowerEdge server as my desktop computer (with a 2.8Ghz Hyperthreaded Xeon processor). :D I th...

Link to the Cocoa wrapper app's source: http://home.comcast.net/~Catfish_Man/ManaWorld.zip

Pretty minimalist (just uses NSTask to launch the tmw executable in the app bundle), but it's a bit more "mac-like" than the raw executable.

Some of the development forums have their names spelled as "developement"

Yes, but Blorx and I have pretty much given up for the time being. However, gene now has a Mac, so maybe we'll see some progress again.

Good luck! I'm around on IRC periodically, and still sorta remember how I solved some stuff (and I've got the nice Cocoa wrapper left over if you get the binary working), so feel free to ask.

As far as I know, there isn't currently anyone who can build the latest source; Blorx was working from my 0.11-era binary, and my build setup is screwed up and I haven't worked out how to fix it.

coders > you

(meant jokingly, of course )

I believe the intention of the mana world is to create a new game, not a clone of another one.

Yeah, my guess is that it's because the binary is rather old. I'll do my best to unbreak my build setup (I kinda messed up my libraries trying to fix linking issues) and make a new one.

Please do! :) Have you used make and autoconf? Do you know much about linking? Those are the main areas I'm having trouble with at this point. Once it's linked in a way that'll run on machines other than mine we can start stomping bugs, but that's eluding me so far. Drop by the IRC channel sometime,...

I've found at least one method that doesn't work. Does that count as finding something out?

elvenprogrammer: there IS a way... i recently took a look at the old mac .dmg file.. which contains the complete deps Good thought :) I'll have a look, and see if I can work out how it was done. My thought yesterday was to pass ./libraries as the path to look for stuff, and then put that in the app...
