Mac OSX port would be lovely

[rude]

You're my new hero.

I want to ask, where does libpng come into this??? : / Why is it not loaded....

libpng is used by DevIL. I don't know why it isn't loaded ...

However when I run love, it results in segmentation fault when loading the timer module.

What was the solution to this?

My compiler (g++/gcc)

Which version?

I'll check out the MAC-source right away, then get back to you.

Awesome work!

I reinstalled libpng AND DevIL and everything worked fine. Time to clean up my system...

However when I run love, it results in segmentation fault when loading the timer module.

What was the solution to this?

I removed "-shared" so I had to put something else in. It was replaced by "-bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup"

My compiler (g++/gcc)

Which version?

i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)
i686-apple-darwin8-g++-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)

Not the newest one but I think that works too.

Ok, on appleide's request (PM), here are a few obey-enhanced Apple avatars:

apple-obey.png (5.76 KiB) Viewed 7198 times

apple-obey2.png (8.76 KiB) Viewed 7199 times

apple-obey3.png (5 KiB) Viewed 7199 times

Sorry for not PM'ing, but looks like I can't attatch files that way.

Now, about the modified source:

I tried compiling the modified source in Windows .. and it works (no warnings), so I guess we can just keep the changes. Need to try it in Linux, though. I keep finding SDLMain.h/SDLMain.m all over. Can we put it in platform/mac/ or something?

Thanks!! The images looks awesome!! You're my hero too since you made LOVE with your friend mike . :mrgreen:

It's not going to compile for Linux.
The make files, I changed all the .so extensions to .dylib and the LD flags.
Either we make another set of make files just for mac, or I make some XCode Project files. I might give that a go tonight or tomorrow morning.

Also I want to ask something.... There's different 'modules' for LOVE right? So are we going to place them in the LOVE folder, or put them in the user's preferences folder so when they upgrade they keep the modules ? Either would be okay. I would just go with windows for now because LOVE would update heaps and might break compatibility with those modules every several versions? There seems to be currently a different scheme for windows and linux... so I am not sure.

Oh, the puns. You've seen the pun thread, right?

It's not going to compile for Linux.

Not with those makefiles, no. I was referring to the source code.

Oh, and if you want to make XCode project files, that would be awesome too. (But that's up to you).

Also I want to ask something.... There's different 'modules' for LOVE right?

The .dylib modules should be placed in the LOVE folder, if it is common to do it that way in MacOS. Like you said, using arbitrary versions will break compatibility at some point.

There seems to be currently a different scheme for windows and linux... so I am not sure.

In Windows, it's (fairly) common to put .dlls in the installation folder. On Linux, it's (supposedly) common to put them in /usr/lib/<appname>, if installed properly.

The different "schemes" are just these:

• In Windows, modules are assumed to be in the same folder as love.exe.
• In Linux, modules will be loaded either from the same folder as the love binary, or from /usr/lib/love. (Checked in that order).

In any case, it was never the intention that user should update these modules themselves, so keep them out of preferences/home folders.
