Running 0.2.8.0 on Mac 10.7

[Concord]

I wasn't able to find any packages of 0.2.8.0 for the x86 architecture, so I guess I need a little hand holding on building those old version from the source, if it's possible.

Without touching anything, I get this,

The run destination My Mac 64-bit is not valid for Running the scheme 'Armagetron Advanced 10.2.8'. The scheme 'Armagetron Advanced 10.2.8' contains no buildables that can be built for the SDKs supported by the run destination My Mac 64-bit. Make sure your targets all specify SDKs that are supported by this version of Xcode.

Armagetron dedicated from this same source compile just fine.

Thoughts?

Got over the aforementioned hurdle, maybe.

Now my error reads:

heh gotta blame dlh for that

you'll have to figure out there that directory is hard coded in most likely the makefile

I found the line that referenced dlh and changed it to my user's name, but it still can't be found. I get the same error, but we can't blame dlh anymore

Why does it have to be 0.2.8.0 in the first place? I can't remember when we made the change, but later 0.2.8 builds are definitely available as universal binaries.
What you could try is take the build files from 0.2.8.3.2 (or whatever is the closest build that works) and transplant them back into 0.2.8.0. You may need to remove some nonexistent files from the project, but I think nothing much else changed.

I'll give it a shot.

I'm trying to watch an old aarec.

(Also, according to this, the first package for x86 is 0.2.8.2)

[Jip]

Have you tried to play it back with this one?

[Concord]

ok, that problem's solved, I realized that it was referencing ~/armagetronad/MacOS, but the folder was named armagetronad-0.2.8.0. Easy enough.

Now, I'm on to

Argument list too long: recursive header expansion failed at /Developer/Documentation/DocSets/com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.DeveloperTools.4_2.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/recipes/instruments_help-basic-help.

…which doesn't look like something related to the game's code.


Jip, that one won't run at all for me.

An easier solution is to use make instead of Xcode to build the game. You won't get a packaged .app, and you'll need to use the command-line to start the game. However this is much more simple than updating the pre-universal Xcode project.

• Install macports
• Install SDL and other dependencies:

  Code: Select all

  sudo port install libsdl libsdl_image libsdl_mixer

• Download the sourcecode for 0.2.8.0.
• Configure the game:

  Code: Select all

  ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" LDFLAGS="-framework OpenGL -framework Foundation -framework Carbon -framework Cocoa" HAVE_M4=false

• Build and run:

  Code: Select all

  make run
  ./armagetronad --playback old_recording.aarec

thanks, will do

I gave this a shot a couple weeks ago. everything went as expected ( expected being fine) but of course the actual playback (also a kind of expected result)

shelved it, but am giving it another shot this weekend.
