"Problems" compiling on MacOS

[juanmcasillas]

Hello,

I managed to compile all the things, except the boxeditor and costview (due the gtk2.4 requirement). It's posible to downgrade the gtk version to something like 2.24 or upgrading it to gtk3 ? macOs with brew is something "weird" about releases and compiling outside libraries.

Thanks for your work.

I'm sorry but I don't have much time for SummC nowadays. If somebody else like to do it a PR to port these tools to Gtk3 would be welcome.

Hello!

I manage to compile it using the available gtk distro (brew install gtk+) on MacOs Sierra 10.12.6

It's a little clunky, but it works. You should put the script in the build dir (scummc-0.2.1/build.iMac/x86_64-darwin-LLVM-8.1.0-debug) and it compiles boxeditand costview. Also generates the costview_help.h. Maybe touching a little the Makefile should work, but I'm not a Makefile expert, sorry.

I attach the shell script below, hope it helps.

Kind Regards,
Juan M. Casillas

I've been fascinated by ScummC for a while but never used it myself. I have recently created this Homebrew tap to make installing ScummC on macOS easier. However, at this point only the binaries are installed. Due to my lack of experience with ScummC, I'm looking forward to feedback to be able to complete the formula!

Hello,

I managed to compile this project on macOS (Apple Silicon) with the following steps.

1. Update ./configure to allow arm64/aarch64:

3. Install dependencies (assuming your're using homebrew):

brew install bison gtk make

4. Default macOS versions of bison and make are outdated, use homebrew versions instead:

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/bison/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/bison/lib"
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/make/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

5. Build:

make distclean
./configure
make

Binaries can then be found in ./build.HOSTNAME/arm64-darwin-clang-CLANGVERSION-debug/

6. Build example game:

cd examples/openquest
make tentacle

This builds the example game such that it can be detected as "Day of the Tentacle" by ScummVM.
