Double-clicking the application icon doesn't do anything; no icon appears in the Dock.

Running it from the command-line give:

code:

whitetiger:~/Desktop daniel$ ./Dwarf\ Fortress\ 0.27.176.38b/Dwarf\ Fortress.app/Contents/MacOS/Dwarf\ Fortress
dyld: ./Dwarf Fortress 0.27.176.38b/Dwarf Fortress.app/Contents/MacOS/Dwarf Fortress Undefined symbols:
./Dwarf Fortress 0.27.176.38b/Dwarf Fortress.app/Contents/MacOS/Dwarf Fortress undefined reference to _HIPointConvert expected to be defined in Carbon
Trace/BPT trap

The '_HIPointConvert' error is because of a poor release of an upgraded Quicktime framework by Apple last year. It's very annoying, because it means PPC Mac OS X can't compile anything that uses Quicktime for graphics (i.e. anything using Carbon).

The fix is to compile the app with a deployment target of 10.3.0. Toady, if you share which version of XCode you're using, I'd be happy to dig up to documentation on how to set it. I don't know if targeting 10.3.0 will make a universal binary, it may only make a PPC version.

also the smiley face of icons in the zip folder was pretty funny

Yeah, we had done that for Kobold Quest, and I had set it up for DF, but I think at some point the DF project must have gotten overwritten.  I'm going to put up a new one in a bit (meaning an hour or lessish).

[Toady One]

Okay, I've put up another version.  Let me know if it makes a difference in your PPC error messages.  I'll keep working with this again tomorrow.

Thanks for the quick response, especially on a weekend! Dwarf Fortress launches fine now, and the "do you want fullscreen/windowed?" prompt appears. after choosing either, I get a new error:

code:

whitetiger:~/Desktop daniel$ ./Dwarf\ Fortress\ 0.27.176.38b/Dwarf\ Fortress.app/Contents/MacOS/Dwarf\ Fortress
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
  what():  vector::_M_fill_insert
Abort trap

Same problem here...
I choose either fullscreen or windowed, and then the game just quits.  

EDIT: For the record, I'm running 10.4.11

Is this problem occuring for all mac users, or just some of us?

Well, it runs on leopard... just not early OSs.

Well i'm on a PPC and running 10.5.2
and it doesn't work I get the fullscreen/windowed selector... but then it crashes

[Redcloak]

I'm getting the same exact message as falsedan after I choose either fullscreen or windowed...

code:

 
M003065052136:~/Desktop/Dwarf Fortress 0.27.176.38b user$ Dwarf\ Fortress.app/Contents/MacOS/Dwarf\ Fortress
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
  what():  vector::_M_fill_insert
Abort trap
 

(running 10.4.11 on a PPC)

(same error pops up in .38c)
