the package is long gone and people don't read a doc about a missing package when they don't expect to find one
the doc is called install even though it's not a real install and have nothing to do with make install. People just read it the first time they see it when it's called install ;)
G4 have no problems using G3 code while G5 can, but really benefit from getting their own optimised code (Apple: G5 is not just a fast G4)
Also changed FAT_BINARY to UNIVERSAL_BINARY since Apple removed most (all?) references to fat binaries on their homepage two days after I added FAT_BINARY
This increases the execution speed a lot since GCC can't detect the OTTD macro as an endian conversion
while Apple's code uses the instruction to convert endian instead of a series of instructions to produce the same result
Since we don't have that many endian conversions in the game, overall performance should not increase noteworthy
you can still use SDL drivers if you like and you have to run "make upgradeconf" to start using the cocoa drivers (or manually write WITH_COCOA:=1)
since SDL breaks the cocoa drivers, you can't compile with both SDL and cocoa support
Using cocoa drivers makes it easier to make universal binaries and it solves:
-FS#18 [OSX] SDL is weird in universal binaries
-FS#2 [OSX] lazy pointer crash on exit
-FS#10 [OSX] linking error when linking statically to SDL 1.2.8 (needless to explain this, but it means it should be able to compile statically with the default settings now)
-[ 1215073 ] Switching to large size out of fullscreen crashes
Using SDL drivers will still have those issues though
now PPC code is always compiled before x86 code
strgen and lng files are only compiled once, which results in shorter building time
the makefile now assigns default values to undefined values so much less needs to be set up
the code is now easier to maintain
it needs both PPC and x86 libs to compile
due to this fact, compilation with libPNG or SDL is not tested (dedicated servers only)
only PPC part is tested as I don't have x86 OSX
This is not a fix for the issues with static linking, more like a workaround. Static linking still got issues
Apple recommends to use dynamic linking anyway, so I guess this doesn't matter much
- Don't track dependencies on system headers
- Add an include path
- Silence a warning regarding a bad signal prototype
- Remove executable flag from pictures
- Add proper OTTD icon
This results in shorter and hopefully easier to maintain files.
Note: I had to change paths in #include statements of some unrelated files, because I added the ottd base directory to the include path (-I.)
This fix solves the issue for now by installing scenarios in the system-wide data dir.
- Add: 32x32 xpm format icon, used for debian packaging.
- Some minor updates to the os/debian directory.
