Aw, no love: both esc-q and esc-f work, but not esc-[1-9] EDIT: the event drops the sent char somewhere between sdlEvent in Chat.cpp and keyPressed in EscapeBox.cpp

Odd. I had the same issue on mac-intel, while it worked straight out of the box on mac-ppc. By the way, when I start the game I land in spectator mode. How do I spawn a ship from there?

Yes, I had the same problem. Basically the build process breaks while running the tests, even though the aedGUI actually compiled properly. So just run 'make install' after you get the error above and the lib should install fine.

I had to install both, as freetype seems to be a requirement for aedGUI.

Hi, I just built the client on mac/PPC and thought I'd share the couple extra steps I had to go through to get a working binary: I installed the required dependencies via fink. Note that other than the listed SDL deps (SDL, SDL_image, SDL_net) I also had to install SDL_ttf GUI dependencies reported in README: aedGUI actually depends on freetype, which you'll have to install first cd-ed to ss-discretion/client and ran configure (went fine), make there's no libtool in ss-discretion/client! copied the one in aedGUI (hint: libtool is probably svn:ignore'd) src/Modules: SDL include and lib dirs in the makefile are a bit messed, had to prepend AM_CXXFLAGS with " `sdl-config --cflags` `sdl-config --libs` -I/sw/include " in src/Modules/Makefile (these should probably go into Makefile.in ?) src/Frontend: Makefile there didn't find src/FrontEnd/cskinviewer/bak*, copied deps/aedGUI-0.1.8a/src/bak* and deps/aedGUI-0.1.8a/include/bak* to src/FrontEnd/cskinviewer/ After these steps make, make install went fine. The game starts and I can enter the single-player zone, but can't spawn a ship yet. Anyway, glad to see progress is being done, thanks to Bak and all those working on this!

Wondering: have you uploaded any source code yet? I'm not seeing anything while browsing the CVS repo...

Yes, Discretion compiles relatively well on PPC Macs (okay, I had to patch a couple files) and, when started up, brings up the main menu. Unfortunately it doesn't go much further than that: when you try to enter an arena it just spits an error message to the console. I'm waiting for Bak to move the code over to Sourceforge so that I can keep up with the development. Oh, for SDL, your best bet is to get fink up and running and install these packages: sdl, sdl-image, sdl-net, sdl-sound.
