Hello,I have downloaded the 2006-02-21 Mac OS X source package and tried to compile it. Unfortunately, some files are missing:- config_mac.h- fmod.h- fmod_errors.h- fmoddyn.h- terrain.cpp- trees.cpp- wincompat.hMoreover, the project is looking for some SDL header files.I guess the project is not up-to-date and has not been used to compile the Mac OS X version...It would be great to have a package which can be compiled. :wink:

Look in the tools/osx folder. You'll need some files in there. See the Mac OS X FAQ for more information.

i just verified and you are right...

the important thing is this one"(Sometimes the source release is broken on Mac OS X, so you have to use svn in this case)"i really don't know why "config_mac.h" was left out, which seems to be the only real problem to build this release...but if you check out svn trunk it should build fine

And which SVN revision corresponds to the Mac OS X build realised : 841, 842, 846 ?I wanted to point out that it is pity to have a 40 MB archive file that contains normally the complete source code of this nice project and that this package cannot be compiled/used...

sorry i don't really remember....but it shouldn't really matter since the problem was that some files were left out and not that a revision was released that wouldn't build on mac...

since i don't think that the SVN info files were stripped your download should not be wasted but could serve as a baseline to download other svn revisions or missing filesso AFAIK you could just do a "svn update --revision 854" to get a working copy...

When I build the source package, it is built on Linux. I try to include all the files added by other developers to the source package so that everything is available there, but as you see some things were missed...The way I build the packages is done with SCons. I have a build target called src-package, that just copies all the files for the source package into a separate build directory, then creates an archive. Thus the .svn folders which contain the SVN checkout information should not be present in the package.There are compelling reasons for using SCons on OS X and Windows to build VDrift. This is one of them...
