[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would love to use this on the Mac.

Indeed. I have tenuous access to macs at the moment. If I get one full time I 
throw 
some time at this.

The main-line Therapist does not work on OSX, James Farrell has worked on that 
aspect in his own branch of the code.

My understanding is that chmod is not experienced with ObjC and does not own a 
Mac for testing, and that is the reason for not integrating the code so far.

Compare

eosx.mm with 
http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/source/browse/src/dfinstanceosx.cpp

Thanks for the clarification spoooq, it sounds great.

Has anyone out there used the downloadable dmg from the 'Latest Build' Link?

When you get to the mac port, I love you for ever. Tho with Linux version. I 
know be a while. Still your epic team.

I'm trying to get mac os x port back with 31.18 version maps. I've got the app 
running on 10.6, fixed few problems and stuck with reading memory for a new df 
version. The problem is that in scaner's job there are magic references 
declared. And os x version is missing it.

#ifdef Q_WS_WIN #define RACE_INDEX_MAGIC_REFERENCE ((const ushort)0x3966) 
#endif #ifdef Q_WS_X11 #define RACE_INDEX_MAGIC_REFERENCE ((const 
ushort)0xbf0f) #endif #ifdef Q_WS_MAC #define RACE_INDEX_MAGIC_REFERENCE 
((const ushort)0x0000) // TBD #endif

I am not sure how to get it except of running another version of df for other 
platform and then scanning for whatever "value" of dwarf race index. So can 
someone post their log/run.log with line like "DEBUG    core    dwarf race: 
"0x00000000" src/dfinstance.cpp:289? (load_dwarves)" So I could scan for that 
value. Thanks.

Ok, dwarf race value appears to be 0x000000c8, someone please confirm it for 
0.31.18 win/lin versions.

Line from run.log wth 0.31.18 windows version:
2010-???-21 17:46:59.304 DEBUG  core    dwarf race: "0x000000c8" 
[..\dwarftherapist\src\dfinstance.cpp:284] (load_dwarves)

decvar, did you managed to find the offsets for 31.18 mac with therapist's 
scanner ?

thanks®ards,

I know this hasn't been touched in a while, but I'm currently working on a mac 
port and have most of the memory scanner stuff up and working, but the above 
mentioned Magic reference numbers are a place I'm currently short. Does anyone 
have any insight as to how they were derived? I've been pouring over dumps of 
the Windows, Linux and Mac versions to attempt to fill in a mac version, but 
haven't had any success yet.

The windows and linux offsets were found via disassembly mostly. Looking for 
known strings and following the assembler jumps all over the place. It's a slow 
business, but once you find the general structure of the mac version it won't 
change much from version to version. If you look at some of the methods in the 
scanner, you can see what is being looked for. Easiest (or at least it used to 
be) was finding the game's creature vector. Which is a std::vector<Creature*>

Good luck!

here goes what jofarrel told me some time ago, I hope it helps you get the race 
pointer:
"To find the dwarf_race_id i load up DF vanilla and use "The Cheat" to search 
for 200 (the dwarf race id) then load up IronHand and search for 201 (the iron 
hand dwarf race id). When i find a memory value that matches i know i'm in luck"

Good luck :)

hey i'm really interested in getting this to work. i'm not great with code but 
if anyone has anything i can do to help this become a reality shoot me a mail, 
i'll do what i can. currently using 31.25 and i've got a copy of crossover 
games (wine wrapper) as well as the latest windows and jofarrel mac versions. 
let me know :)

I may have a test build for Mac OS X soon, had some real life stuff interrupt, 
but I'm getting really close to getting it to read dwarves, have got most of 
the searches working, so it's moving along.

Original comment by taylor.f...@gmail.com on 26 May 2011 at 3:44

[GoogleCodeExporter]

And by close, I apparently meany, really, really close. I've got a version up 
and running on Mac OS X reading and writing dwarves for version 31.25. It's not 
100% yet, but most of the basics are there. What's the standard practice for 
releasing for test? I could check a clone in as is so people can grab it, or I 
can post a binary for a few mac folk to start testing.

Please post a binary for OS X 10.5

I'd be happy to test, but the Qt SDK is only compatible with Snow Leopard, so I 
can't compile an OS X version.

My little brother is using it right now on his fortress and no problems yet.  
Thank you for this.

It should have the necessary frameworks all in the binary. If you are having to 
download the Qt framework something is not right.

DT crashed on startup before I installed the above package, citing a missing qt 
framework as the culprit.  I guess something is not right then?

There was a bad release originally that cased that issue, but I quickly put up 
one that included the Qt Frameworks necessary.

So far it works beautifully for me too

Thanks for maintaining this! I would hate to lose DF for the Mac.

Beta version released on downloads page. Thanks to my predecessors, the port 
has gone pretty smoothly, all things considered.
