Talk:Build-MacOSX
From Freeciv
[edit] Build vs Install
Building the application is another layer of complexity of the subject, and if someone just wants to know how to get freeciv, we don't want to send them into the may of the beast, and drown them in compiler talk, and dependency hell. That should all be done by the developers.
[edit] Quartz-ified GTK
I'm trying to compile freeciv against the quartz version of gtk. Although the x11 version works, the quartz version will be faster and simpler to setup than the gtk2 +x11, and more feature complete (at least gui-wise) than SDL.
Unfortunately, the gtk2+quartz doesn't seem to be quite ready for release, and currently throws assert failures.
my current options with OSX 10.4.11, freeciv 2.2.99 / r14419 are:
% export CC="/opt/local/bin/gcc -no-cpp-precomp -I/opt/local/include/ -L/opt/local/lib/" % ./configure --enable-client=gtk2 --prefix=/opt/local/ --export-readline
