mac build doesn't work

[vichug]

it says "could not open because of a problem" (yes, very specific) but reason was image not found :

MacBook-Pro-de-Vic:~ vic_hug$ /Applications/LiberationCircuit-1.0.app/Contents/MacOS/LiberationCircuit ; exit;
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/freetype/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/LiberationCircuit-1.0.app/Contents/MacOS/LiberationCircuit
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

osx is 10.10.5, only tried the compiled build form itch.io

I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about the Mac build. Someone on the allegro forum (at https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/616791/0) made it.

FWIW, the offered Mac download doesn't work.

Trying to build following the instructions, I get:

do    bin/libcirc
do      ../src/g_game
do        c_compile.o
do          precompile.h.gch
do            precompile.o
precompile.h:1:10: fatal error: 'allegro5/allegro_acodec.h' file not found

I just tried it using the "Compiling on macOS" section of the README.md file and I did not see that error.

Compiling on macOS

To build on macOS (Sierra (10.12) with latest Homebrew and Xcode)

git clone https://github.com/linleyh/liberation-circuit.git 
cd liberation-circuit 
brew install allegro 
./do 
cd bin 
libcirc 

Have you got homebrew and Allegro installed? (what does brew info allegro give you?)

Also by the way @linleyh on the last line it needs ./libcirc to run an executable in the current directory

OK, as you see it can't find the allegro headers (allegro5/allegro_acodec.h being the first one that stops it)

1. Has homebrew actually installed them - on my system they're in /usr/local/include/allegro5
2. Also try pkg-config --cflags allegro-5
3. Is clang looking in that place? (try echo|cc -E -v - and look for /usr/local/include in the list which starts '#include <...> search starts here:'

Alternatively try the Makefile - it will probably fail at the link stage as it's missing allegro_main-5 from the list of packages but if gets further than the do-file, then it's easily fixable.

What I get on my mac
