Mac OS X?

[cha0s]

A patch? Wow! Anyone with a Mac tried it?

[jboadas]

Yes I Tryed with the precompiled binaries a simple "hello world" and work good also tryed to compile a simple sdl example but no works, making a further reading in the page of the gameengine they are using this for making games with sdl on OSX with FreeBasic

So... you made a mac port? GREAT!

[jboadas]

I made nothing for now just use google and found a site of very good programmers that made a mac port for their game engine.

Here is the link:

I replied on Castle Paradox. I gave details on my port in parkovski's At&t syntax emitter thread. Look there for details. I haven't done a thing since then (see CP for details on that). I don't know what became of his port, anyone know? It's a much better approach than mine.

jboadas, to link to SDL on OS X you have to link to SDLMain and change the entry point of the FB program from "main" to "SDL_main". My port adds a new compiler flag, "-entry" to allow this. (In C, this is accomplished by a macro included in SDL.h.) You're actually meant to do this on all platforms, but as it happens it's not actually necessary on BSD, GNU/Linux or Windows. The OHRRPGCE's build line looks something like this:
fbc -lang deprecated mainfile.bas -Wl -framework,SDL -Wl -framework,Cocoa -Wl -F~/Library/Frameworks SDLMain.o -entry SDL_main

Note that's it's not necessary to use frameworks: you can compile SDL using its Makefile rather than XCode, and use plain-old unix libraries instead. However, I can't remember where you're meant to get SDLMain.o if you don't compile it from SDLMain.m yourself, as I do: is it in the framework?

BTW, although the OHRRPGCE is licensed under the GPL I'll grant anyone right to do whatever they want (public domain) with the OSX-related parts (I'm the sole author of those parts, except SDLMain.m which is forked from the SDL source), including anything related to compiling, packaging for OSX or in a #IFDEF FB_DARWIN block, and the AppleScript. Not that there's much.
