Hi Cara, Matthew will probably correct me on a lot of this, but from what I can find out, one of the main problems is in compiling the zquake engine and associated binaries for mac os 10. One of the problems seems to be actually geting the makefiles to detect the intel version of mac os 10, as this seems to be done using the processor architecture.
It is important that the code correctly detects mac os 10 because of playing the game sounds (it uses Core Audio for this on macs). However it also appears (at least to me) that the makefiles also need to detect the correct processor type for the assembla portions of the code (as well as for providing the correct options to the compiler for compiling for intel processors). If you follow the sections of the development manual which talk about compiling the engine, and then look at the makefiles in the directories it mentions (under zquake I think), you'll see what I mean about the os detection thing. The main problem I'm having is that I'm geting a lot of errors relating to assembly. One of the main ones is "unknown pseudo-op: .extern". It seems to be something to do with apple's gcc, but I can't find a work around. Hope this helps, all the best, Adam. On 4/26/08, Cara Quinn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey matthew, no prob at all!
