How does one install TA3D on Mac?

Post by rellewkram » Thu Nov 04, 2010 11:57 pm

Hello all!

this is my first post here, and I think it's great that you're working on making this awesome game even more awesome!

I've looked around on the site, in the FAQs and help guides and such and can't find any concise instructions on installing this game on Mac. How is this done? Also, I just downloaded the .dmg containing a version for Snow Leopard, and when trying to open it, I got an error saying that the application couldn't be opened by my kind of Mac. I'm working on installing TA3D on my Windows partition, but would love to have it available on the Mac side. Any suggestions? Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks and keep up the good work!

The issue is that the version from the DMG is 64bits only, which your hardware is unable to handle. I will make ta3d build again on OS X (with the latest features) and I will provide you an universal binary as soon as possible.

Hi !

Could you try this one ?
http://downloads.ta3d.org/binaries/maco ... .r2727.dmg

This version is universal Binary and should work. I had to recompile all the libraries to build it but I don't have a 32bits-only capable processor to test it.

can there be something like a Ta3d lite version suitable on Mac and Windows?
Because even on my windows 7 it lags the hell out of my computer :(

Not that its anything to do with this thread but turn down the graphics settings on your computer if it lags. The game can run on notebooks.

alexclimber : this version, as the path suggested it, is compiled for 10.6. It seems there are some incompatibilities, probably from the SDL library. The root of the problem should be somehow related to how the macport's packages are compiled with the OS X SDK (10.5, 10.6). As nobody asked, I've not really investigated. But this can be overcome :)

Thank you, because if I can run supreme commander on all *ultimate* graphics settings, and have decent speed, then I should be able to run ta3d normally.
