Continuum on a Mac

[Wyrm]

Incoming post on the exact procedure, but it's very similar to the Linux version. Just hacked together the current wine in order to be compatible with i386-darwin rather than i386.

 

Hopefully won't require as many dependencies as I have installed, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work on macs.

 

If you want a walkthrough before I post up the full details just PM Marche, I'm usually located on Hockey Zone.

Which method did you use? I tried with winebottler and it failed.

Here's a tutorial I wrote Edited August 7, 2010 by Lynx

[Guest Joe Bloggs]

Cheers Lynx, giving that a try now.

 

In the tutorial you mention getting the macports binary from the site and then in the instructions you are getting it again. So I installed the binary and skipped it in the step-by-step.

 

Silly question perhaps, is it possible to import the windows registry data into the wine configuration? I forgot my passwords, got annoyed at windows so formatted the drive But I kept a copy of the continuum passwords from the registry and saved a copy of the profile.dat file.

 

No big loss if not. I can always dump it onto a netbook I got kicking around the house somewhere.

[Guest Joe Bloggs]

So after this line....

 

sudo port install bison ftgl libpng xrender fontconfig freetype xorg

 

I get...

Running OS 10.6.4 with xcode 3.2.3

[Guest Joe Bloggs]

Incase anyone gets the same problems. The error is in version 2.67 of autoconf : Here is the ticket on it... https://trac.macports.org/ticket/25509

 

So I have reverted back to version 2.65 using these (noob friendly) commands...

sudo port uninstall autoconf

sudo svn co -r 60743 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/autoconf

cd autoconf

sudo port install

 

Now Ill leave it alone to install for the next week....

[Guest Joe Bloggs]

$ sudo port uninstall autoconf
$ sudo svn co -r 60743 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/autoconf
$ cd autoconf
$ sudo port install

[Wyrm]

Well, I'm currently using FINK and piggy-backed off of the Linux diff file (the diff file obviously doesn't work anymore but the code change is still the same.) Then I recompile wine and ran the local wine.

 

I'll append the wine I'm currently using, so if you have a version of wine installed and working for other applications, try just running the wine in the source tree here and see if it'll run continuum.

 

I've been busy with work which is why I haven't written a full tutorial, and also my system is a little obfuscated because of all of the FINK applications, but in theory that wine tree will work.

 

Cheers.

You can run the registry editor by typing "wine regedit" into the terminal. From there, you'll be able to import/export registry keys - so in theory you can export your password registry keys from your Windows computer, save them somewhere then import them into regedit on wine.

 

That tutorial I wrote is quite antiquated, and I wrote it when I wasn't too sure what Continuum needed to run. It should run fine without bison, ftgl, libpng and xrender. If the messy package (autoconf I believe) is being called by any of those three packages you should be fine but knowing how much of a pain freetype can be, I'd bet it's probably coming from there.

 

If you're all using OS X 10.6 you can just install wine from your favourite package manager, navigate to the location of kernel32.dll.dylib (I think OSX uses dylibs, I forget) - then share that between you guys. You'll still need fontforge, freetype (for rendering fonts) and xorg to display the windows, though.

 

If you're having a lot of trouble with a package manager, then you can always install the packages from source, too.

Hi,

 

I have tried and follow both Lynx and Wyrm's suggestion in using wine to run continuum without success. For whatever reason when I start continuum, multiple instances of wine starts (4) and i get the error from console

wine: Bad server socket 255 : Bad file descriptor. Can someone explain to me what could be possible solution to this. Thank you.

[Guest BermuDa]

I'm following the tutorial and everything is working fine until:

 

make depend && make -j 2

 

where i get the following message:

 

make: *** No rule to make target `depend'.  Stop.

 

Any ideas what this could mean? I'm really clueless!

 

I'm using OS X 10.6.4 and Xcode 3.2.4.

Looks promising but in your youtube video i see that its running on 17fps, is that even playable? (maybe the fps is lower due to a recording program?)

If it does run at 17fps then i would advise people to just use bootcamp or parallels unless you just want to chat, for which 17fps is fine.

Yes, that's actually a viable point. I would also like to know this before spending X amount of hours getting this thing to work!

My first assumption would be the kernel32.dll file is not being properly patched - hence the multiple instances of Wine starting. Make sure that you're running ./configure, then you're applying the cont.diff patch, then you're compiling - if you're certain you've done this correctly then it is something to do with Wines server initialisation process - if so, I'll leave a message on the Wine forums to see what they think.

Please send your complete terminal output, just so I can verify that everything else is set-up correctly. There's a few reasons that error could appear, but the few reasons I can think of are unlikely to occur in this case.

Yeah, it is unplayable at 17FPS, however that only occurs if you play using the full screen. If you play using a windowed screen at the highest resolution possible you should find that your FPS is around 40, which is perfectly playable, but unfortunately not what you'd expect on a Windows system, or a 16bit version of Wine running on Linux.

 

A solution for performance would be finding a copy of XCode 2.x, which will allow you to compile a 16bit version of Wine. I've not tried this myself on OS X (I think I might try this later in a virtual machine), if there are significant performance upgrades I'll let you know.

[Guest BermuDa]

Ok, i tried to do it again and the same error occurs, actually there was an error previously to the one i mentioned. I've also attached the complete terminal output (skipped the macports-part since it's already installed).

 

I'm guessing the problem is here:

 

configure: error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built.
Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this.
iMac:wine-1.1.29 rundstrom$ cat cont.diff | patch -p1

iMac:wine-1.1.29 rundstrom$ make depend && make -j 2
make: *** No rule to make target `depend'.  Stop.
iMac:wine-1.1.29 rundstrom$ 

 

Just to make sure, since i am running xcode 3.2.4, i'm supposed to use the 16-bit option like so:

 

./configure --disable-win16

 

Just wanted to make sure!

40fps in window mode is still pretty low though, I now run through bootcamp and get 200+ fps (if you deactivate the framerate limit of 60, 60 being pretty much compulsary for ideal play. Even though i am experiencing me own problem which is also posted on these forums .

 

I still think its great that people are working on it, but for now its probably not worth the effort for me to get it working (Since i get annoyed if a game isnt running 100% smoothly and to my liking)

[»Lynx]

I think the wine source tree might be located in the src folder, try changing directory to the src/ dir before running make depend && make...

 

cd src

 

It's been a while since I've used a Mac and compiled Wine, so sorry if my memory is rusty. =/

I've got a Mac OS X virtual machine setup on this computer, I'll see if I can find a way of getting Wine to compile as 16-bit without the use of XCode as the compiling tool, if so, I'll write a .mpkg that will install everything without all this hassle.

 

I also agree that at 40fps it's not the best playing experience, but it's certainly playable.

[Guest BermuDa]

Unfortunately, there isn't any folder named src in the wine-1.1.29 folder.

 

This is what i have:

 

iMac:wine-1.1.29 rundstrom$ ls
ANNOUNCE	LICENSE.OLD	VERSION		configure.ac	fonts		programs
AUTHORS		Make.rules.in	aclocal.m4	cont.diff	include		server
COPYING.LIB	Makefile.in	config.log	dlls		libs		tools
LICENSE		README		configure	documentation	loader

 

I've tried to search for "src" in the folder without any luck of finding it.

[»Lynx]

Hrmm, do you have Dev Tools/Unix Tools (It's a mpkg in your apple install DVD) installed?

[Guest BermuDa]

Hrmm, do you have Dev Tools/Unix Tools (It's a mpkg in your apple install DVD) installed?

 

I wasn't sure so i installed it from the DVD. Still getting the same error. Hmm.. Maybe i should try it on my macbook and see if it works better, could be something with this computer i guess..

[»Lynx]

I can't replicate the error unfortunately, try to separate out the commands so:

 

make depend
make
sudo make install

 

If the error still persists, but it does not appear to happen on your Macbook, then I guess the only option would be to clean anything installed and try again..

 

Sorry to be pretty useless =O

Hi, try to separate out the commands.

 

make depend
make

 

If there are no errors, then

 

sudo make install

 

If that doesn't work, then if you could print copy/paste me your ./configure output so I can check for any errors.

[»Lynx]

OKay, the issue is that Wine isn't finding the freetype libs, these are beneficial but will not cause huge performance issues with Continuum as the only time fonts are rendered is either in the menus, or while using chat.

 

To configure wine without freetype, use the following command:

 

./configure --without-freetype

 

You should then have an output something similar to:

 

configure: Finished. Do 'make' to compile Wine.

 

You can then compile wine by typing:

 

make

 

And for those of you lucky enough to have Dual Core processors (Intel Core2Duo, Corei3, Corei5, Corei7) you can use:

 

make -j 2

OR

make -j 4

 

Depending on how many cores you wish to dedicate to the compile.

 

Make sure, though, that you apply the cont.diff patch to wine each time you've ./configured the compile.

 

cat cont.diff | patch -p1

 

You'll then be able to resume the tutorial where this error has left off. I'll look more into why Freetype isn't being found (the remedy is symbolically linking the freetype libraries to /usr/bin, however this hasn't worked for Verez, so I am going to look for other solutions).

 

Good luck

[VerezAlex]

So everything loaded up, BUT, $ winecfg gives me an error. Then when I try to CTRL+C out of it, it gives me the rest.

err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out

On the plus side, freetype and fontforge finished rather quickly.
