Re: [Enigma-devel] Enigma on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

[Ronald Lamprecht]

Hi,

your report is good news :-)

When you have finished all testing, especially that the compiled Enigma 
version runs on 10.4, 10.3.9, too, please send me the cleaned up diffs.

Please report the SDL version you used. Did you use SDL_mixer 1.2.8? I 
do ask, as we need a confirmed support for "ogg" and "mp3" for the next 
Enigma release and 1.2.8 is compiled with support of these formats on 
Windows and Linux.

Please try to compile the current trunk version. You need to add support 
for "curl" (see doc/REQUIREMENTS). If you need some testcode please drop 
a note.

Thanks,

Ronald
