compiling GH2 for mac

[Tripsky]

Hi everyone,

i'm having a bit (read lots) of trouble compiling GH2 0.628 for my wee mac and was wondering if there was a precompiled version anywhere, or failing that if someone would be oh so kind as to post one. i would love you forever and you would get a seat of honour at my wedding.

plus i think this would open the game up to a lot of players that might just walk on by at the mention of compiling.

What version of the Free Pascal Compiler are you using? The older versions of fpc required JEDI-SDL (which could be a real pain to get set up).

i have the most super up to date version of fpc at the time of writing - 2.4.0. the problem is that my mac doesn't have the dev tool xcode installed, and being second hand i don't have the original discs - so i can't even install fpc. so that's really where i hit my snag (sans sausage).

but if everyone out there (mac users, anyway) is compiling each time there's a release, does it not make sense to have a precompiled version available for download? if it wasn't for the fact that i was hooked back on GH1 i would have passed this game by, which is a shame cause it's a cracker of a game.

Michalis had something about this on his page. I just emailed him to see if he can do a compile of the latest version.

So newer ones come with it bundled?

EDIT: Yes, they do.
