How to compile a no GUI server for Mac OSX

[missingpiece]

Dear forum,

I have used the search to gather as much information as possible on my question, but did not really end up with much that I could use; if at all, people are trying to compile a full game on Mac. Now, I want to run a simutrans server on my Mac at home to play with my family.

To get my feet wet, I installed the published simutrans Mac OSX binary and necessary dependencies on my machine. Obviously, that was very easy.

So far, I found a guide to compile and integrate a simutrans CLI server on Linux-like systems. That I can certainly follow to some point, but I was wondering if anyone had better information. I know something about using the OSX command line but may just easy get lost, too.

Who can help me compiling a CLI server on Mac OSX 10.6?

[prissi]

Just using the posix backend in the config file together with COLOUR_DEPTH = 0 should be enough. Or just use the normal graphic program to start the server. Any normal executable can server as well; it just needs to be started as "simutrans -server " on the CLI.

[missingpiece]

Compiling worked like a charm....so I thought. Only a few warnings that do not indicate anything serious to me.

See the compile output here of version 111 ( revision 4911 from trunk ):

I then copied the pak folder ( pak64 for 111 ) as downloaded to the build and also copied my simuconf.tab from the game I had run on the mac from the regular install into a new subfolder conf of my build.

The build folder already looks much different than the downloaded version 111. And running the result also did not turn out too successful either :

Where did I do a mistake ?

[Dwachs]

the language files are missing. See:

http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=2894.0

Download a full archive, copy the text folder to the desired location (in the same folder, where the executables sits).
