AFAIK [1]:
Mac OS X is Unix (BSD) [2]. SDL is available for Mac OS X [3].
Get the source and compile. It might work or it might not.

Mac OS X version of 0.4
Hello,
Saw this game on Friday and was disappointed there wasn't a MacOS X version, so...
I have put a Mac OS X version (in a .dmg file) at:
http://www.fairydreams.co.uk/mac/wesnoth-0.4.dmg
If you'd like to upload it to this server then that would be good. I had some problems compiling and finally traced it down to the _location_ of the widget files !?!
When I'm feeling brave I'll have a go at 0.4.7 or 0.5 (hopefully the latter).
Anyway keep up the excellent work!!!

OK... compiled the 0.4.7 version, but...
OK, clearly too addicted. I've compiled the 0.4.7 (that is now up at http://www.fairydreams.co.uk/mac/wesnoth-0.4.7.dmg )
Now for the problem
Both versions don't show the hitpoint bar updating. The numbers change when you examine units and they die on zero, but the bars insist on staying full (and staying white... on the windows version they go green -> yellow, etc).
Now compiling the code and dealing with compiler / linker errrors is one thing, but I am no expert at diving into other people's code and definitely clueless with respect to SDL
So anyone any ideas as to where I should look, what I should look for, etc???
Any help appreciated!

Sithrandel,
Thanks for your interest in porting Wesnoth to a new platform!
I have made some changes which may fix the problem with the energy bar not displaying, and checked them into CVS. Would you be able to try the latest version in CVS and tell me if it works for you?
See this thread for information on accessing CVS.

Energy Bar
Thanks... whatever you changed did the trick: the energy bars are now working well
Now all I need is to practice so I don't see them dropping so fast
I haven't uploaded the binary, will do that for v.0.5

Now that we have CVS I don't see that many releases coming (in fast pace). That is because we can test changes and new features without making a release.
When we get the code stabilized, units balanced and new features tested we will make a release... that is my opinion.
It will come when it is ready.
Dave, I am thinking about adding release meta-task [1] to Savannah (under Wesnoth sub-project, I don't think we need releases sub-project).
[1] task that depends on other tasks... when those are solved it is time to make a release. This way everyone know what is needed to make the next release.

I probably will make a 0.5 release in not so long though, because we haven't had a stable release for a long time, and....if I were to give someone a version that I think is stable, I'd probably currently choose either 0.4.7 or a CVS snapshot over 0.4
Yes making a meta-task sounds like a good idea, miyo.

Mac Versions
OK... points taken. I think the energy bar is definitely worth having as it makes the game far less frustrating, so a build is worthwhile. So now we have:
Official Stable:
http://www.fairydreams.co.uk/mac/wesnoth-0.4.dmg
Official Dev from site (non-cvs):
http://www.fairydreams.co.uk/mac/wesnoth-0.4.7.dmg
Latest Build:
http://www.fairydreams.co.uk/mac/wesnoth-latest.dmg
I shall update the lastest build one occassionally to match the cvs.
In order to make things easier I have added some text with these links at:
http://www.fairydreams.co.uk/mac.php
So if you'd like to put any of these up on the main page and update the OS list on http://www.libsdl.org, I think the Mac community would be grateful
By the way... for what it is worth, my favourite idea of those mentioned for new additions is definitely the ability to run multiple campaigns.
Many Thanks and just wish I could contribute more

Sithrandel,
We will update the web site to point to the MacOSX version.
We have nothing to do with Wesnoth's listing at http://www.libsdl.org, however I will contact them and ask them to update the listing.

Apple Updates, CVS, etc
Thanks dave and fmunoz... there is a dearth of good Mac strategy games so this definitely fills a niche.
On another note I updated the Apple Dev Tools with yesterday's update from Apple and the final missing part (which needed a fudge) has at last conformed. So now anyone else trying to build it should find it fairly straightforward.
I love the CVS... works beautifully from within Project Builder... though of course in Apple's tradition they don't tell you anywhere that you have to copy the CVS folder into the project package that would be too easy wouldn't it
So from now on I plan to keep up to date and if I ever understand how things work, maybe even lend a hand!
Thanks
