Re: [hatari-devel] Hatari 1.6.1 test build for Mac OS X

["Stefan Meier" <stefan_meier99@xxxxxx>]

@Bob: I have completely recreated the project and now the build runs as fast and stable as Jerome's one. My new build doesn't have portaudio anymore, but is still linked to libpng. I would still have to find out, if the build is really self-contained or referencing libraries on the system.
If you are building on 10.6 or 10.7, perhaps you build has libpng referenced anyway. If I understand the cmake script right, it checks for the presense of libpng and enables it in config.h. Since 10.6 and 10.7 have a libpng onboard, it might be linked through the cmake scripts. Can you run otool -L hatari.app/Contents/Mac/hatari and check whether your build has libpng included?

Unfortunately I noticed that even with Jerome's SDL build, the "switch to Mono bug" still occurs. I guess it is some kind of race condition. Sometimes the reset works, sometimes it crashes.

I guess Jerome's build are perfect for being added to the binary downloads.
