Version 1.6.0 for Mac OS X?

Post by ummonk »

Will there be an SDK for Mac OS X?

Edit: nvm. Guess I posted too soon. Really nice that Irrlicht uses XCode.

No official release yet, sorry. I may get around to packaging it up this weekend, but no promises! The standard release will work for OSX though, it just doesn't come with an installer and you'll have to static link instead of using the .framework.

That's fine. The demos compile without any trouble (well, after you comment out the libKlang), and I want to link statically anyways.

However, I did have problems with most of the demos not launching, and the helloworld and demo windows being blank white until I hide them by moving another window over them and then moving that window back out.

I will do some tweaking and see what either I or the sample code is doing wrong.

Yes this is a known bug, the OSX device doesn't support the software renderers yet. If you'd like to try fixing it, look at the present() method of the Cocoa device (CIrrDeviceMacOSX.mm) and submit a patch :)

The official OSX release will have the software drivers removed until this is fixed
