Updated macOS app bundle #179

Closed queengooborg closed 4 years ago

queengooborg commented 7 years ago

Ali's compiled versions are a little outdated and don't support the newer macOS builds as well, so I thought to compile a new version of MKXP with better support for more recent systems. 🙂

Note: compiled pull request #174 (since MKXP fails to compile without it, and the PR is working perfectly now)

Thanks @vinyldarkscratch! I should prepare new builds soon too, but your builds will help those that need them now. I wonder if you saw my builds on box.com or the mediafire one which uses newer openal for fixing issues with newer versions of macOS. If you have noticed other issues with newer versions of macOS, please let me know.

Heya Ali,

I actually hadn’t seen the MediaFire ones that you were referring to, is it linked somewhere on this repository? One of the biggest issues I was noticing was that the ones on Box didn’t have proper Retina display support, which caused a few graphical bugs here and there. I assume SDL updated since your Box builds, so a simple upgrade should to the trick, but I haven’t done my research on the matter, apologies! 😛

Hi Vinyl,

The link is on the other Mac related issue, but I noticed I have only put one public build in there, I made tons later, but they didn't end up going to the public folder.

Deciding on the SDL version is a tough one, if you go with 2.0.4 and up, you end up adding more issues, like missing window titles and resized windows. Try replacing the MacOS and Frameworks folders of any Freebird Games game or Rakuen with your MacOS and Libraries folder, then open the game. Change to windowed mode, you will see the window is slightly resized, and the window title is missing. But if you don't go with newer versions of SDL, you will end up having some minor full screen issues with newer versions of macOS.

I have one suggestion though, I have noticed that your build was made against Ruby 2.3 that comes with macOS 10.13, earlier versions of macOS come with older versions of Ruby, so if you don't bundle Ruby in your Libraries folder, your mkxp build will effectively only run on macOS 10.13.

Heya Ali,

For the SDL version, it definitely can be a challenge (and luckily they have a lot of backwards compatibility). However, on SDL 2.0.6, I haven't actually experienced those problems with the window title and resizing, at least not with MKXP? (I haven't played around with other programs that use SDL. :P)

As for Ruby, oh shoot, did I not include it in the bundle? I knew there was something I forgot about... Thanks for letting me know! (I will admit I'm still learning about deployment of applications, heh...) Fixing that right now!

Thanks for your contribution, closing this right now to declutter. Hopefully we can get automated builds going in the future.
