OXCE v7.12 MacOS

[DumboSquids]

Hi DumboSquids,
I try it but on Monterey (Intel) it has a grey circle on it, no way to use it. Is this ONLY for Ventura or ONLY for M2?

My version definitely won't work on Intel Macs, sorry.

[Fox Mulder]

Could You be so kind to try to compile a version for Intel too?
Or list the detailed steps to compile it, maybe if I do them on an Intel it could works..

Hi all,

I've compiled OXCE 7.9.10 for Ventura 13.4.1 - see attached.

As always, you will need to put in the original game files into the Contents/Resources/UFO folder.

Works on my M2 MacBook Air. Any problems, I probably can't help you!

Good luck!

Works very smooth on my macbook m1! Many thanks!

Can you please, if possible, update build process for mac on github. I've tried many ways, but it just did not compile or crash when start on Ventura.

Thank you again!

How-to-build MeridianOXC/OpenXcom:
-- set HomeBrew path lib in cmake/modules/PostprocessBundle.cmake , for M-series something like
fixup_bundle("${BUNDLE_PATH}" "${BUNDLE_LIBS}" "/opt/homebrew/lib")
-- and just copy libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib into Contents/Frameworks/

Attached build script, tested on 7.9.11

Hi, I downloaded the x64, but the app has a deny circle on it, is it for Ventura only? Why does it not work on Monterey?

[craiz]

If msg "is damaged and can't be opened" -- try Terminal

xattr -cr /Applications/openxcom.app
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/openxcom.app

UPD. Intel build in attachments.

Craig, thanks for the tentative, I downloaded it, opened the dmg and put it on desktop (no more deny circles) and put inside it the xcom files, like the older ones,  it starts, but shows only a black screen and nothing, no msg, no music, if I press any key it simply exits, no error, no msgs, nothing

[craiz]

black screen and nothing, no msg, no music

Looks like UFO (or TFTD) files not found.

Try this steps:
1. Extract openxcom.7.9.11.x64.Monterey.zip two posts above
2. Move openxcom.app to /Applications
3. Right click -- Show package contents on /Applications/openxcom.app and copy original installed UFO files into Contents/Resources/UFO (screenshot)
4. Sign application
xattr -cr /Applications/openxcom.app
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/openxcom.app

UPD. Also you may compile app for your own system (updated build script in attach).

Tried the xattr and the codesign, both ok, same problem.
But if You say it could be a files not found problem I have to say that your list is different from mine, I never used a DOSBOX folder, my files, working up to 7.5.8, are taken from my original dos/windows veersion, and are these in the attached file
I report them also in clear text

Does your program require dosbox?

I do not develop openXcom, but installation section says about "some" version: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/OpenXcom/tree/oxce-plus

"X-Com: UFO" by GOG works good for me.

You may try this Mojave build too: it works everywhere I tested.

[Fox Mulder]

I don't know why, but Mojave version of 7.9.11 works perfectly in MacOS Monterey, with my files structure
Thank You!

Here you are! Running a few submods but they're all cosmetic apart from the one that makes me begin in 1994. Not sure if that messes anything up without it. Likely doesn't, but including it anyway. Hope it can be resolved!

If it helps, I"m using the M2 Macbook Aiir, specifically the ARM build of OXCE.

Meant to post this on a totally different board, in a totally different thread. Whoops.

Hi all,
I didn't want to ask for an already compiled for Macos .dmg of 7.9.14, so I try to do it by myself, I installed Brew (I'm on a Mojave, 10.14.6), then all the commands to download and compile the 7.9.14, but it says: cmake: command not found
I attached the log to all I have done, if somebody wanted to see it and help me
