Re: [Bug-freedink] Free DinkEdit on OS X?

[Simon Klaebe]

Hi,

Yes, thanks for that. I installed XCode and then ran the MacPort install, have updated the SDL library, still getting issues with:

SDL_tff and gettext and libzip dont appear to working, although I thought I had those installed using the port command. I'll try what you suggest and see what happens.

Thanks,

Simon

Hi,

I have no mac, so I can't test, but here's what I got with a few
search engine requests:

- The C compiler - searching "osx install gcc"
 https://medium.com/kr-projects/6e54e8c50dc8
 So either install XCode, or install the lighter "Command Line Tools
 for Xcode"

- The dependencies - searching "port install sdl-ttf"
 http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/MacOSX_port
 TheManaWorld is a different game, but it relies on the same
 technologies as FreeDink.
 As far as I understand, it first get SDL from the official website,
 then gets additional game libraries using macport.  Not sure why
 they don't grab everything from macport...

- Suggestion: use Davide's old version by typing
 sudo port -d sync
 and
 sudo port install freedink
 in a terminal.
 This should install everything you need (except the compiler).

 Then compile the newer version as you did below, so it will upgrade.

- In case this doesn't work, The file "BUILD" in the source archive
 also provides instructions for various GNU/Linux distributions.  You
 can get inspiration from this, because macport is inspired by the
 GNU/Linux packaging systems (e.g. the same of the packages should be
 similar).

 At first glance, I'd say the complete dependency list is:
 sudo port -d sync
 sudo port install pkgconfig libsdl libsdl_gfx libsdl_ttf libsdl_image libsdl_mixer fontconfig libzip zip

 People at the MacPort forums may be able to help too.

Cheers!

Hi,

Yeah I found that page, but couldn't see any relevant files. as such. Something called patch-configure.diff and patch-src-paths.c.diff

I have d'loaded the frredink vers 120121209 and tried running the ./configure in a terminal shell,  but I get the following error messages. I'm guessing it can't find a compiler (amongst other things). I did download MacPorts, but not sure what to do with it. Any help or pointers you can give would be great.

Hi Simon, long time no see :)

Giovanni Davide (in Cc:) made a MacPort package for FreeDink and

FreeDinkedit but it's terribly outdated now:

http://www.gnu.org/software/freedink/get-distros#packages-os-x

See this message in the archive to see what Davide did (compiling from

source after installing the libSDL dependencies from MacPort):

Hi,

How do I set up FreeDinkEdit etc on Mac? Not sure what I have to compile or whatever. Any help you can give would be great. I'm running Lion. I have DinkSmallwood HD and that works, but have thought about the whole Dink DMOD creation side of things.

Thanks,

Simon
