FreeOrion-0.3.13 won't launch on Mac OS X 10.5.7

#1 Post by agorski »

Just downloaded the 5-26-09 release. Tried to launch in both admin and standard accounts. Don't have the Developer Tools installed (needed?).

Trying to launch, nothing happens. Console log consistently returns the same message:

com.apple.launchd[116] ([0x0-0xc40c4].org.FreeOrion[1274]) posix_spawnp("/Users/agorski/Applications/FreeOrion.app/Contents/MacOS/FreeOrion", ...): Permission denied
com.apple.launchd[116] ([0x0-0xc40c4].org.FreeOrion[1274]) Exited with exit code: 1

TIA for your help.

Does the binary "/Users/agorski/Applications/FreeOrion.app/Contents/MacOS/FreeOrion" exist and is executable?

I chmod'ed the binary to 766 and that helped (thanks!), so there is one problem with the Mac download that needs to be fixed. However, upon launch I get "The application FreeOrion quit unexpectedly" dialog.

The console log now says:

[0x0-0x114114].org.FreeOrion[1592] dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../SharedSupport/libBulletCollision.dylib
[0x0-0x114114].org.FreeOrion[1592] Referenced from: /Users/agorski/Applications/FreeOrion.app/Contents/MacOS/FreeOrion
[0x0-0x114114].org.FreeOrion[1592] Reason: image not found
com.apple.launchd[1391] ([0x0-0x114114].org.FreeOrion[1592]) Exited abnormally: Trace/BPT trap

There's no SharedSupport folder in the application bundle.

I remember getting a message about a missing dylib with the last version download, and had to use an installer someone else created special that I found a link for in the forum. Is something missing in the download?

Thanks. Looks like folks are aware of the issue. I'll just wait to see if a new installer is released.

It looks like some things got lost on the upload to sourceforge. I checked myself and verified:
1) the execute permission got stripped
2) there's ~40MB missing

Thus, it doesn't work.

Someone will need to try uploading again. Would that be tzlaine?

But maybe before that happens, you can try my own upload that works for me at least and let me know if you find any other problems.
Here is my upload.
The zipfiles can be unzipped & combined with the `unpack-FO` bash script example.

Can you provide md5sums of that files?

Why did you split those files? It would be much easier for users to have just one ZIP to extract, which then works out of the box.

I downloaded the files to my server and upload them.

/Edit: files are uploaded here https://sourceforge.net/project/showfil ... _id=685272

I have:

MD5 (FreeOri1.zip) = 4f16ce0eb8185c1175916fedf89cd503
MD5 (FreeOri2.zip) = 2ef6545a11009bc7a8b9c7891c0770fc

I agree that it's preferable to have a single zip file.

I split them for these reasons:
1) reluctance to start using my own machine as a webserver.
2) not a member of the FO project on sourceforge yet, and can't directly upload.
3) not wanting to pay for file hosting, and mediafire only does up to 100mb files for free.

Maybe its less of a hassle if #2 is no longer an excuse. Do you think think can be arranged?

And those appear fine, if split files is the solution everyone wants for now. Thanks, kroddn.

You don't need to be a FO project member to upload files on sourceforge. You can upload if you have a sourceforge account, and we then can release the file shortly after your upload.

Its quite easy, read http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/source ... %20service

It's "Developer web content" that I want right?
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/source ... oper%20web says:
"Developer web is available to members of projects hosted on SourceForge.net."

I tried both my SSH and web access, and it doesn't authorize me. So I think I need to be a member of at least one project, which I am not. Do I just start my own or get added as a developer on FreeOrion?
Correct me if I'm doing something wrong.
