Re: [hatari-devel] Mac build 1.8.0 #2 sanity check request

Troed,

The new OS X binary looks fine. It’s using the CAPS 5.1 framework because the Lethal Xcess IPF finally works! I agree that the other items can wait until 1.8.1. If the Atari-Forum user really wants the screen capture fix early, I can compile a Mercurial binary for him. However, I’m still seeing crashes when recording video in OS X with the Mercurial code. Therefore, it is much better to use the 1.8.0 released code for OS X.

I have only one suggestion. Could you add Intel to the filename to make it clear that this is only an Intel Mac binary? While there are relatively few PPC Mac owners now, they are still very vocal. I would rather prevent the download from someone who thinks this is either a Universal Binary or that you compiled a PPC version.

Great job. I can’t test the libedit change since I’m running 10.9.

Hi all,

Nicolas sent me an updated version of Capslib (5.1) yesterday and I've now produced a proposed update to the current 1.8.0 release for OSX.

Changes:

1) Capslib 5.1
2) Links to libedit.dylib instead of libedit.3.dylib (i.e, will work on Leopard/Snow Leopard also)
3) The mounted image has "rel2" tacked to its name and the README-first.txt has "#2" after the version. Also, README-libraries.txt is updated to reflect the new Capslib version.

No other changes (I have purposely not synced Mercurial since 1.8.0)! While we're discussing fixes for screen captures (app path) and SDL settings I don't believe they're severe enough that they can't wait for 1.8.1.

I'd like for other Mac users on the list to test this image as well before release to make sure I didn't mess up one of the still too many manual steps I have in between the generated Xcode and my build config :/
