Oolite Bulletins

First this: ./oolite-1.90-test.linux-x86_64.run Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing Oolite 1.90 ............................................................................................................................................................................................

I'm trying to reproduce this, but something's apparently missing. OK, I've created a branch on 1.91 (called "failed_mac_build") that has all the code I'd currently changed to get to the previous point (ie. compiles OK, shows splash but fails to get any further). Note that I had disabled t...

Sorry... red herring... 4.1 via glfw only works in core mode, not compat

I wish I could help more, but I have a serious lack of time, and don’t understand the intricacies of OpenGL and its shaders vs what is possible on a Mac well enough to give a summary that I would trust myself. My interest is in keeping the Mac in play for Oolite 1.91+ so when I find a few minutes I ...

Hopefully I‘m not beating a dead horse here, but this seems to be a way to use OpenGL 3.3 on modern MacOS versions: https://github.com/zamirmf/OpenGLOnMac?tab=readme-ov-file In short glfw is needed, and some hints as shown in the main.cpp example. Now of course I have no clue if that helps in our co...

I am playing around with Whisky , which combines Wine with Apple's game porting toolkit to translate OpenGL and DirectX to Metal (if I understand it correctly). Installing, loading, running and playing the vanilla 1.90 version seems to work fine, I flew from Lave to Diso without a glitch. So far I d...

Update: Winston is aware but not able to fix anything before Monday

I found his email address and informed him just now.

Very encouraging results, thank you for putting in your time!

Yes, Sparkle is Mac-specific. It (used to be) used for automated updates of applications. In the interest of simplicity I would probably remove this dependency if I were a Mac developer.

It does: Opening log for Oolite version 1.90 (x86-64) under Mac OS X Version 14.5 (Build 23F79) at 2024-07-11 08:08:55 +0000.

I just tried your latest build on my M1-based MacBook Air. No luck either I'm afraid: Opening log for Oolite version 1.91 (x86-64 test release) under Mac OS X Version 14.5 (Build 23F79) at 2024-07-10 17:32:47 +0000.

Thank you for picking this up! I have not done anything else on it because at the time, I could not expose more data externally in a reliable way. I wish I had the time to contribute but unfortunately don't. Very interesting to have the MQTT bridge included in your Oolite Starter! Macs & iphones...

Thank you for attempting to build for Mac! I tried running it on my MacBook Air with the M1 CPU on macOS Sonoma 14.5, but received the same exception.

Here's a contentious one... Does The Blue Danube date Oolite?

It dates Elite, IIRC my C=64 was playing it when using a docking computer.
