anyone knows how to build tmw on mac?
i want to use patch.

You will need Xcode which is available free from the Apple Developer website.

You will need all the dependencies as listed on the wiki to build.

Patch the files, then Open up the .xcodeproj file from git, and click Build and Go.

This will build the game and run it.

I'm trying to compile the TMW client on my Mac (OS X 10.5.8 Intel). I downloaded the .DMG image, but for various reasons would like to compile it anew.

I don't know how to use git, so I downloaded the source code from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/theman ... 9.1.tar.gz

I've installed XCode 3.1.4 and the following through macports (http://www.macports.org):
- libpng 1.2.44
- libvorbis 1.3.1
- libxml2 2.7.7
- libsdl 1.2.14 (includes /opt/local/bin/sdl-config)
- libsdl-image 1.2.10
- libsdl-mixer 1.2.11
- libsdl-net 1.2.7
- libguichan 0.8.2
- phyfs 2.0.0

In short, I tried to follow the instructions at http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/MacOSX_port

After extracting the tarball, I run
$ ./configure
<snip lots of autoconf joy>
checking for curl-config... /usr/bin/curl-config
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for gcnGuichanVersion in -lguichan... no
configure: error: *** Unable to find Guichan library (http://guichan.sf.net/)
$


Since I see guichan in both /opt/local/lib/libguichan and /opt/local/include/guichan, I try
$ ./configure --libdir=/opt/local/include
and
$ ./configure --libdir=/opt/local/lib
and
$ ./configure --libdir=/opt/local/lib/libguichan
...and get the exact same error.

What am I doing wrong?

Building on Mac:

1. Get a gun
2. Get a bullet
3. Insert bullet into gun
4. Aim gun at head
5. Pull gun's trigger
6. ???
7. PROFIT!!!

That's very funny, Kage, but not quite true. My OS of choice is OpenBSD (and not always on x86), so I'm used to compiling stuff from source in a BSD environment, including this Mac.
Don't get me started about all the OSS that implicitly assumes you're running either Redhat or Debian GNU/Linux on x86.

For OSX compilation, xcode would be best, due to how Apple changed things. Or try the Mana repo and CMake. Mana 1.0 WIP: http://gitorious.org/mana/mana/archive-tarball/1.0. Automake stuff is in there, but depreciated.

It is completely possible to compile Mana under OS X the oldfashioned way: you just have to handle dependency hell yourself as normally.

The last I've bothered to try has been in 2008 and the most issues were with Guichan. Sorry I cannot be of more aid here, but best of luck on your chosen path.

Felt like necroing an old thread today.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I took another shot at it with the source for 0.5.0 and, exactly as Rotonen said, I'm stuck on a missing guichan framework. Unfortunately, the zip file that trapdoor posted a few years ago is now a dead link.

I have learned a bit of XCode through my efforts, and once I figure this out, I will try to provide client binaries (and build documentation) for MacOS. Learning about Carbon frameworks makes my brain hurt, and any assistance is welcome.

trapdoor promptly supplied me with the guichan.framework.
Now I'm just working through the normal compilation errors like "undeclared variable" and whatnot. Hopefully this won't involve hacking header files.
Yay!

Uhm... No need to build anymore unless you want to develop. If you are a developer than the guide on the wiki should be more than enough.

Awesome instructions! Thanks mr ManaSource guy! I shall try this tomorrow.

Please note that the SDL client is no longer supported for latest Source of Tales.

You will need github.com/tales/tales-client as client. Compiling on mac probably works out of the box... But I am not sure wether anyone tested the client on OS X already. However it should be easy to get running since the client is only based on Qt.
