Darn it Simon >:O stop dodging the question! There IS a way to compile on it, if there isn't, then there is a way to compile FOR it, on WIndows or Linux or WHATEVER, or else we wouldn't have an OS X version on the site now would we...
Can you please just tell us how to do it, yes we have XCode, and yes we have tried just randomly loading the files on whatever random setting we used and pressing build and having it fail due to the lack of a decent guide, you don't have to make a big detailed guide, just give us some rough steps!
It's already getting tiring and annoying from people suggesting whatever comes on the top of their heads without actually thinking about what they're saying not knowing that just by saying 'XCode' or 'Simon uses a hackintosh'' is not going to help us with the MAIN problem: Compiling for/on OS X.
Simple as that, if you can answer this SIMPLE question, anybody, not just Simon, then please, post away. If you are going to give a totally off answer just for the sake of adding to your post count, don't even bother.
Someone, somewhere, someHOW, has done it, and it would be extremely generous and helpful to those who would like to do it as well. Let this be the last and only thread on this topic, because I'm hoping by then someone would finally have given us the right answer.
Is it supposed to magically find the source and compile it into a perfectly executable app? Because I'm doing exactly what you just wrote and it doesn't do that, seeing as how that's my only goal at the moment, be specific
Still no help, thanks though everything is all over the place!
I'm not asking to create detailed play by play 100 page guide on how to do something as simple (well it should be simple!) compiling a 1mb source on a mac...Would it be SO hard to at least post a decent guide on how to do it step by step, or at least not in a mess, so we could at least know where to start and where to finish, this isn't rocket science and neither are we rocket scientists so it would help you guys to help us as well.
ZebraineZ You've already got all the information you need in this thread.
Essentially follow something along these lines. Install the Apple development stuff You'll probably want to make sure you've got the prerequisite libraries installed as well (Check the Linux build instructions under the wiki and piece together what you'll need) "cd" to change directory to where the source is then run "make powder-x"
Also how the hell would it help me, or anyone else for that matter, to help you?
Well I didn't really know how to explain that bit but I meant along the lines of if I was to be helped and could do it, then I could pass that along, at least for the Mac side of development.
People do use macs, if the numbers were so low there wouldn't be a Mac binary, and it would help if some of the new betas and whatnot were able to be compiled for it so that they could get some love too :/
And I am TRYING to figure it out so eh, guess I'm just looking for help in the wrong place.
