Documentation about running OBS under OSX #45

Closed lewisdawson closed 8 years ago

lewisdawson commented 9 years ago

The README makes reference to the (potential) fact that OBS can be run under OSX in simulator mode:

This fork is created to make bonescript more feature rich, faster, fix bugs and make it work in simulator mode under Mac OSX and Linux.

After digging around a bit, I couldn't find any additional information about this. No tutorials, no documentation, nothing about how to get this to work under OSX. I get the following error when I try to run OBS under OSX (I'm running node v0.10.38):

        throw e
              ^
Error: Symbol epoll_module not found.

If OBS can in fact be run under OSX, it'd be really awesome to have more information on how to make that work.

Any information the team can provide on this? Thanks!

Hi, When I made OBS, I made is compatible with OS X in simulator mode. That means you can use it in projects and run the code. It will call all pseudo functions during execution. In recent version of OBS, I have updated the epoll library and I did not test it on OS X.

I will test it this weekend and update OBS so it can again run under OS X in simulator mode.

Hope it helps.

I asked epoll creator about this issue. I will update when he reverts. If epoll does not work with OS X, I will make it optional and then you will be able to run in simulator mode.

Thanks for the update @adityapatadia. Let me know what route you decide to take.

lewisdawson commented 9 years ago

@adityapatadia Any word on this?

adityapatadia commented 9 years ago

The epoll question I asked did not have any response. I will make it optional tonight. Upgrading to new version will fix it.

The epoll question asked was answered on the day it was asked https://github.com/fivdi/epoll/issues/12#issuecomment-138341563

Ok my bad, I missed it. I am going to make it optional by this weekend.
