OSX

[Larzans]

Is there any prebuild package for osx or does that not exist anymore?
It says everywhere win, linux, osx, but i can't see the binaries.

Is there a doc on how to compile on osx, if possible?
I know the old site and forum has been deleted, i downloaded the backup, but i can't seem to find my way around it.

So it would be appreciated if anyone could give me a tip on how to proceed on osx :)

documentation needs updating / transfer from old site yes.
Meanwhile can see the MacOS build in CI, e.g. the last one as of now https://github.com/ygrek/mldonkey/actions/runs/10589860995/job/29344666172 and see the commands it runs. Or see the github actions file at https://github.com/ygrek/mldonkey/blob/master/.github/workflows/workflow.yml
The binaries built by CI are available at the bottom of the page https://github.com/ygrek/mldonkey/actions/runs/10589860995 , i have no idea if they are usable :) but you are welcome to try

Thx @ygrek ,
that got me an executable, but it was compiled for osx 14, which i don't have.
Could you also compile for OSX 13, then i could test if it works and show you the possible error messages.

[ygrek]

i have no idea how to do that, but you can follow what ci is doing and build yourself
and please lmk what works and what doesn't

@Larzans I am planning to update it in MacPorts now.

@barracuda156 Interesting, with which target? Currently it is OSX 14 minimum, but i have 13.

CI is run on pulls as far as I see, so you can just replace all the "macos-latest" with "macos-13": (I counted 3, but there might be more I missed)

mldonkey/.github/workflows/workflow.yml

Line 33 in cb0da53

os: macos-latest

mldonkey/.github/workflows/workflow.yml

Line 56 in cb0da53

if: matrix.os == 'macos-latest'

mldonkey/.github/workflows/workflow.yml

Line 61 in cb0da53

if: matrix.os == 'macos-latest'

Do a pull, and collect the artefact yourself from the action tab (then close the pull afterwards, whether it works or not).

[ygrek]

or better submit a PR to do macos-13 builds

[HinTak]

Oh yes, replace the first with [macos-latest, macos-13], and the other with some ... or .... In that case you need to make a 4th change to distinguish the two output artefact names, perhaps too?

@Larzans As long as it is feasible, MacPorts will support 10.5+ on all 7 archs.

Normally I build everything on 10.6 PowerPC and then CI must pass on 12–14 x86_64 and arm64. Everything in between is not guaranteed, but we may fix it if something fails.
