Mac version still 0.19

[badvision]

The Mac binary is not up-to-date and crashes when you try to use Japan tracks. Are there tips on how to build mac binaries from the current source?

First, you'll need to get SDL. This can easily be done through homebrew or macports. Due to a boost API change, you'll need to edit frontend/config.cpp and change all instances of

boost::property_tree::xml_writer_settings<char> settings ('\t', 1);

to

auto settings = boost::property_tree::xml_writer_make_settings<std::string> ('\t', 1);

I had trouble passing the TARGET argument, so I just changed the default target to macosx. Finally, I had to change the architecture flag in the makefile from x86 to x86_64 so that Cannonball could be linked with 64-bit SDL. That should be all you'll need to do. Roms should be stored in a folder called "roms" in the same directory as the executable.

Thanks! Yeah that is basically what I had to do, but I did manage to get it working as well. Is the master branch going to be updated to reflect the boost API change or should this sort of thing be maintained in a fork for the newer Boost library?

Some preprocessor directives might be the best option in order to maintain compatibility with both the old and new boost APIs.

Any chance of a binary release of a current macOS port? Thanks!

I don't maintain the Mac port unfortunately. But anyone is welcome to create one from the latest source code.
