Getting source files
- Current version (You need to install the subversion program) :
svn co https://eduke32.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eduke32/polymer/eduke32
- Source tarballs (Lite subversion snapshots, it does not include metadata, Apple compiled libraries, third-party jaudiolib and Photoshop files).
- Old and Older versions.
Compiler Setup
- Install Xcode.
- Copy SDLMain.m and SDLMain.h from the Apple/ directory into the root eduke32/.
- You need to define the root directory of your SDL installation. Edit the file eduke32/Apple/Makefile.shared. In most cases you only have to change the APPLE_TARGET to match your setup. For example: if you have MacPorts (aka DarwinPorts) installed then use /opt/local.
- Run ./osxbuild.sh and hope for the best!
Frameworks
EDuke32 requires the following frameworks to function:
The error message at the right will be displayed if these frameworks are not properly installed. You may install these at any or all of the following locations:
