Universal (Mac OS X) build for Scummvm completed

[aubin]

Hi,

I've made a proper Universal build of ScummVM; it's compiled identically to the mainline packages (i.e. Vorbis, MPEG2, FLAC, etc.) and is native on both platforms.

It's tested and working fine as far as I can tell, and the only changes I made were for endianness (due to assumptions about PPC) and disabling NASM in both FLAC and ScummVM.

Despite the disabled ASM stuff, it is pretty darn fast on my MacBook

I'm wondering what I should do with it now; would the maintainers like to host it or would you just want the patches?

I've put together patch against the SVN source tree.

I've also patched "configure" so it does a proper altivec test. I've tried it on a MacBook as well as my old Powerbook G4 (which has Altivec) and the patches seem to be cross-architecture properly.

The patch is here:

I'm putting up my Universal Binary temporarily, but I'm hoping upstream will take it over:

Thanks . I modified this some and committed it.

I'm putting up an x86 build in a bit, and hopefully an Universal Binary soonish (Need to set up a proper build environment on my Mac Mini).

Edit: x86 build is up, check the Downloads page.

You can use Lipo to make your universal binary before you have your build environment. You probably know this, but just in case:

Code: Select all

lipo -create scummvm_intel scummvm_ppc -output scummvm

Yeah, I know . Didn't mean a crosscompiling build environment, just a native one, so I can get that PPC binary in the first place . My Mac Mini is currently a bit messed up.

Oops. The build yesterday was linked against a somewhat bugged version of zlib looks like, so it wasn't able to load scumm savegames. If you downloaded this yesterday, you might want to redownload .

Oh dear god...AGI-support!!! Can someone make a new UB snapshot?

I see that the universal binary version is still only listed in the "Subversion" section on the download page.

When will there be a "official" release of the universal binary version? I just got myself an Intel based iMac

Quite simple, there will be an "official" release once there is a new release, i.e. once 0.9.0 gets released.

...and when will that be?

[fingolfin]

As soon as it is ready, of course.

Done! Link is in the SVN snapshot section, as usual.

Thankee, Vintersum.

I just tried it and it works great on my Macbook Pro 17.

Except: I can't get music for Curse of Monkey Island. I have the original CD in the drive, but it doesn't even spin up. The instructions talk about a command line interface to map a drive letter, but macs don't have drive letters.

Any clue?
