2.4 Stable crashes on start up

<< < (5/5)

H-Hour:
I'm sure it's frustrating for Mac users, but I think you've got it backwards. 2.5-dev seems to be the most stable the game has been for Mac in several years. It's still far from stable, apparently, but it's been a pattern of improvement rather than regression.

Until we have an experienced programmer dedicated to keeping our game stable and running on Mac, support for the platform is likely to be patchy and reactive. But that doesn't mean it will ever be "dropped". I think everyone on the dev team would oppose any design decision that would close the door on future support for Mac. We're pretty committed to open-source, cross-platform development.

Thanks for the update concerning the mac support. Great to hear taht you won't let it die.

Is there any chance to download the 2.5-dev somewhere. I'm not really into git... and so it's nearly impossible for me to compile it on my own.

Thanks anyway - great game!

Compiling on your own is not so hard as it looks. Just try it. I did it just by following wiki. The only tricky thing for me was figuring out exact names of packages with required libs (some of them is different on Gentoo). And you should download not only source but game data too (instructions is in wiki).

As i understand - absence of mac version caused solely by absence of maintainer with Mac OS on his PC. :)
