OXCE on macOS
« on: June 18, 2021, 08:52:49 pm »
When I run the v7.0 mac OXCE application on macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 I only see a grey box.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?

OpenXcom (any version) is not compatible with macOS 11+.
Sorry.

The fix is (probably) upgrade to SDL2.

While I don't have a Mac and thus can't test it there, I can confirm that OXCE works with sdl12-compat which is a drop in binary compatible replacement for SDL1 that actually uses SDL2 behind the scenes on Linux on both arm64 and x64 since that is what I am using for the rg351p/351elec port I am working on.
