OSX port / maintainer about meka HOT 10 OPEN

It was a few month ago that I set this up, so I can't remember if I tried to use allegro from some packaging system at first. But what I do remember is that I had to grab a patch from a more recent version of Allegro to keep it from crashing if a controller was plugged in. So the libs I added to the repo are the patched ones I built myself. I wanted to use the same Allegro version as the Windows build used.

It seems that Allegro 5.0.11 is available through brew, so I can try to change the Makefile to use the libs provided there instead. With the possibility that MEKA crashes with a controller.

Might be a new package perhaps. Bit annoying it has that sort of bugs.
If you end up with using the package would be nice to squash or redo the branch so that it doesn't carry the file size for the unused allegro binaries. It completely forgot that part when moving from SVN to Git but the Windows binaries are probably not a great idea there.

I just tried it and the crash seems to be fixed in 5.0.11.

I'll remove the current feature-macosx branch and replace it with one where the allegro libs are not committed. I just hope nobody merged it yet.

I have been trying to get the code above running on my machine (running Yosemite), and the binary compiles just fine. I also managed to get an application bundle built by altering some lines in the dist_bin_osx.sh script.

Is work still being done on the OS X port? Should I file a pull request to @blind 's repository?

from meka.

I'll do it now. Sorry I didn't realise the branch had been updated without the binaries.
Thanks a lot @blind !

from meka.

OK i am back here - @blind afaik your branch doesn't have any remaining changes right now?

from meka.

That is correct, I haven't done any changes since @dajero s osx support commit.

from meka.

Where can I find the latest binary?

Or (easily) buildable Mac source?

from meka.

As pointed by this thread there's no Mac maintainer and probably no trivially buildable sources.

from meka.

OK, thanks.

I'm running the latest Windows beta/proto using CrossOver/Wine on my Mac. Works well and got the debug information I needed!
