FreeWheeling doesn't work on newer Mac OS (Sierra for example). #2

"doesn't work" is a bit vague - this would require more information and also someone with a mac computer and some free time to get it working again

does it fail to compile? if so what are the errors?
does it compile successfully but then fail to run properly? does it segfault? freewheeling outputs quite verbose state traces if launched in a terminal these could point to the problem

It appears the new versions of Mac have shuffled around the locations of the sound libraries:

Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/Vorbis.framework/Versions/A/Vorbis
  Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/FreeWheeling.app/Contents/MacOS/fweelin
  Reason: image not found

I have no idea how to fix this.

thanks for the info - as i said though i do not have a mac so freewheeling can not support mac untill someone with a mac joins the dev team

for now you will need to find someone with a mac who knows how to compile and trouble-shoot mac programs to help you - if you do not know such a person you could perhaps ask someone for help on the IRC such as #macdev on freenode

if you can get it working i would be happy to accept a pull request with your changes for the benefit of others
