Re: [hatari-devel] How to include EmuTOS in Hatari.app when building it yourself on macOS?

[Frank Danapfel <frank.danapfel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I’ve now managed to figure this out myself. 

All that is needed is one small change in the src/CMakeLists.txt file to include tos.img in the list of files that should be included in the app bundle:

--- CMakeLists.txt.orig 2025-06-27 19:52:06
+++ CMakeLists.txt 2025-06-27 19:52:26
@@ -25,7 +25,7 @@
      gui-osx/CreateFloppyController.m gui-osx/SDLMain.m gui-osx/paths.m)
  set_source_files_properties(${GUIOSX_SOURCES} PROPERTIES LANGUAGE C)
  set(GUIOSX_RSRCS
-     Hatari.icns gui-osx/stdisk.png gui-osx/en.lproj gui-osx/fr.lproj)
+     Hatari.icns tos.img gui-osx/stdisk.png gui-osx/en.lproj gui-osx/fr.lproj)
  set(GUIOSX_DOCS
      ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/manual.html ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/images
      ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/compatibility.html ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/toc.js )

And the tos.img file has to be copied to the main src directory from which Hatari is built.

Maybe somebody can include this change in the official repo, so that others who want to built Hatari on macOS themselves can also get a version of the Hatari.app that inclused the tos.img.

Regards,
Frank
