I'm wanting to help the project by making a port to Mac OS X Platforms at the moment I'm using a Hackintosh without Dual Boot with Windows Because of TPM2.0 : (

But do you have any documentation on port to other platforms?

alemart commented 2 years ago

Hi, thanks for your interest in the project.

There is a cross compiling guide in our wiki. The game engine is built using the Allegro game development library. Allegro is cross-platform, so porting the engine shouldn't be too difficult. I don't own a MacOS, so I'm unable to tell you the specifics.

I tried compiling OpenSurge on my Hackintosh with macOS Catalina but cmake couldn't find the allegro5 library

What this means is that Allegro 5 is not correctly installed. You can install the latest Allegro via Homebrew:

brew install allegro
brew install pkg-config

To whom it might interest: the latest release of the game (0.6.0 at the time of this writing) is also available for macOS. An application bundle is being provided by community member SGWaS.
