Title: Macintosh port
Post by: jac on 14 October 2007, 17:10:37

Hi Everyone,

I have compiled a universal mac build of glest 2.0.1.

I am posting the link for application and source.

I think framework for vorbis or ogg is not loaded.
It is included in the app package.
try copy the ogg.framework , vorbis.framework to /library/frameworks/

you have to download the data files and run the app from that folder.

I have only tested in OS X 10.4.

Post by: lodemia on 2 November 2007, 04:29:06

that could be the problem.  I only have the following frameworks in my .app package:

SDL.Framework
Vorbis.Framework
Xerces.Framework

If it's no trouble, could you add the Ogg framework to the app package and upload again?  I would definitely appreciate it.

Post by: lodemia on 2 November 2007, 04:49:30

Figured it out!

Step by step:

#1 - Download executable from above link
#2 - Download the Ogg Framework Components from Here (http://http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/xiph-qt/xiph-frameworks-20060508.dmg)
#3 - Download the latest glest data package

Install the Ogg Framework Components
Create a folder, place the Application file as well as the glest data in that folder.

You should be able to click on the Glest application and it should run.

Title: Different download plz???
Post by: swiecki on 6 November 2007, 01:01:46

Please host it somewhere else!!!!!! PLEASE!

That site that you used is atrocious. It limits bandwidth based on country usage????? Seriously, wtf.

Please post to a different one.

If you're lazy:

http://www.filecrunch.com/ (http://www.filecrunch.com/)
http://www.megaupload.com/ (http://www.megaupload.com/)

=============================

EDIT: whoops! didn't realize that they allowed you to sign up for free. No need to reply, I got my download, and it works fine

Title: Mac/PowerPC port
Post by: Simon on 7 November 2007, 20:38:42

Hi,

I built a PowerPC port based on Jac's Mac OS port. The port addresses byte-order issues when loading the little endian binary files (sound, graphics, models) on big endian architectures (like PowerPC). This is the first time I have done such a thing, so this might not be the most elegant way to do it. Search the sourcecode for "BIG_ENDIAN" if you want to find the changes (the BIG_ENDIAN flag is automatically defined on Mac/PowerPC, so no additions to config_macosx.h needed at the moment). Of course it preserves full compatibility with other platforms, especially Windows.


The port is located at http://www.pg511.de.vu/ (http://www.pg511.de.vu/) in the downloads section (not a free hoster to keep you sane  ;) ).


I'm in the same project group as Nostromo ( http://www.glest.org/glest_board/viewtopic.php?t=3034 (http://www.glest.org/glest_board/viewtopic.php?t=3034) ). We now begin trying to enhance Glest's AI. If we succeed, you will surely hear from us in about 3-4 months.

BTW: The line height (in-game, resolution 1024x768) with the Mac fonts is a bit high. The text lies partly below the command-icons. Is there a way to fix this?

Title: Mac/PowerPC port
Post by: DragonFang on 12 November 2007, 06:13:29

When I try to run Glest on my Mac, all I get is a black screen.
Could someone please explain to me (in terms a non-programmer could understand) how I might be able to get it running?

System specs:
OS X 10.3.9
1GHz PPC G4
512MB RAM

Do be so kind as to tell me if my architecture/OS is insufficient to run this port!

Just an additional report -- this seems to be running fine for me (on a Macbook with Leopard).  Thanks for making it available!

DragonFang: Have you tried running it through a console to see if any errors appear? I think other people have had this problem before. Maybe updating your graphics drivers or turning off shadows might get it working.

Post by: dazmax on 20 November 2007, 07:01:47

Hey Simon, I compiled your port, but I can't find the glest.ini file that it tries to load on launch. Are there some necessary files not included in the download you posted?

Thanks, by the way.

Well, I opened Glest in Terminal, and it reported this:

Exception: Can't open properties file: glest.ini

I could be remembering wrong, but I think that was the message I was getting before I downloaded and installed the Glest data files from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=127297 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=127297)

Title:
Post by: DragonFang on 27 November 2007, 10:43:34

Well, I've got the data files so I don't think that's it.

My glest.ini file is in the same directory as the glest application file...do you have one, and if so where is it located?

Title:
Post by: DragonFang on 29 November 2007, 02:14:35

The same.
I tried replacing it with the one from the port, but that just gave the same results.

Title:
Post by: hailstone on 29 November 2007, 20:45:58

Glest might not have permission to access the file?

Title:
Post by: DragonFang on 2 December 2007, 03:22:15

I don't think that's the problem, but I could be wrong.
Any other suggestions?

Post by: dazmax on 3 December 2007, 22:31:39

Thanks for the link, markroedel. It fixed that problem, but now I'm getting the error:

Exception: Unknown sound factory: DirectSound8

before that it also spits out:
createGlFontBitmaps not implemented.
but I don't know if that's related to the problem.

Title:
Post by: dazmax on 3 December 2007, 23:54:56

Okay, I figured it out. In the glest.ini file I downloaded from sourceforge, it had the line:
FactorySound=DirectSound8
which I had to change to:
FactorySound=OpenAL

Now it works! Thanks everyone.

Title:
Post by: DragonFang on 4 December 2007, 11:25:44

Perhaps something's in the wrong place? I've got the Glest application in the Glest Game folder, along with the ini file.

Post by: bastiaan on 13 January 2008, 21:39:55

The download site (from topic starter) has apparently shut down. Can someone host the files elsewhere? Ideally, the Glest developers would host them on sourceforge...

Title:
Post by: AF on 14 January 2008, 19:44:56

How large are the files, and what're the bandwidth expectations? I 'may' host them if sent them depending on the answers.

Hi, just found this site from Moddb. I really wanted to try this out as it looks amazing, but like bastiaan says, the download link appears dead. Is there another?
Thanks, Strider
