I'm just wondering if anyone on OS X has tried compiling free Orion?
I tried to once on my current computer, but I kept getting errors and such as I believe there were components missing.
I am however getting a new computer soon (Dual 2.5ghz G5, swish!) and I would like to try again.
Essentially what I'm looking for is either a list of all the stuff that FreeOrion relies on so that I can make sure they are installed before hand. If someone could even package all these things together with a single install script it would simplify things immensely!
Once I've got it running fine under Unix I can then start trying the the process of creating an application that runs natively in OS X. Once I've figured that out then I can start doing the same thing every time a new version comes out, and let some Mac users in on the action
I'll create a progress thread or add to this if I have any trouble
Compiling FreeOrion for Mac?

Someone already has it running under Mac OSX. You can try out preliminary binaries here:

Which version of OSX do you run? The latest CVS includes some changes that helped get it running on a Mac. You might be able to get it working easier now if you couldn't previously. This page doesn't have instructions on OSX, but may have useful information for you anyway:

It is not working on Mac OS X

What are the files "freeorionca" and "freeoriond"?
Thanks
I tried to run install the game and it did not work... When I click on the file "freeorion" it opens the terminal and givesYou can download a precompiled (out of date) version: for windows from here.
for Mac Os X : (v0.2)Binaries & gamedata and the needed frameworks
All the Frameworks have to be put into the /Library/Framworks/ folder.
~Library/Frameworks or System/Library/Frameworks should work too...
Would be cool the hear if it works on a different OsX machine. Has only been tested on Panther 10.3.5.
