Help running 40d9 on OS X
« on: February 24, 2009, 04:15:20 pm »

Hey folks, just got a macbook pro and I'd like to run 40d9 on it. Got the 40d from the website running fine but I'd like to see if d9 would make my game faster. Alas I don't understand what I must do with SDL and what is the script I should be running; frankly I'm just at a loss. Pardon me if such documentation already exists, but I've been unable to find it.
Eagerly awaiting your help,
    Thanks, FJTurkey

Here's how you run it.

1. Open the "Terminal" program.
2. enter the following keypresses, followed by ENTER each time;

cd desktop (changes your directory to the Desktop)
cd df_osx (changes your directory to the df_osx folder, from the Desktop)
sh df (runs the shell script named df)

As intermediate steps, you may enter ls to list the objects in a given directory.

Huh. Graphics aren't working for you, either? I guess that's a bug or somesuch then.

If you have the df_osx folder in Applications, you can make type this into Applescript and save it as an application, then you don't even have to worry about starting up terminal

Code: [Select]
do shell script "cd /Applications/df_osx; sh df"

Thanks folks.
Yeah Warlord, no characters, not even the tileset.

This is very similar to dos; I'm just rather new to macs (except for Oregon Trail school days).
