Problems with MacOS

[t-spy]

I've made an aplication with glbasic wich runs on windows but on a Mac computer it does nothing. Just open and closes inmediatly. I just copy the .app dir to Mac. May i did something more to run my application?.

I'm using an iMac with Snow Leopard and the latest glbasic version.

Sorry for my bad english.

[MrTAToad]

Does it require any media ?

Does it require any media ?

Indeed - that was my first guess too. Have you copied the Media from the Windows version into the Media folder for the Mac version? GLB doesn't copy across the Media contents, you have to do that manually.

However, lack of media desn't generally cause a program to close (on Windows anyway).

[MrTAToad]

No, it should be - unless of course the program is designed to.

Try running the executable part from Terminal - hopefully that should show something...

It's probably the permissions thingy. See this thread:

http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=5437.msg42586#msg42586

Or in short, the solution is this:
I'm assuming you've got GLB app called MyGame

- Open Terminal window
- navigate to the folder where MyGame.app is saved
- type "cd MyGame.app/Contents/MacOS"
- type "chmod +x MacOSX"
- type "./MacOSX" to run it (or click on app icon in Finder).

Changed the permissions and now i have this error (i'm not using any resources):

Can you check to make sure that the SDL library is in one of the Framework directories ?

[t-spy]

Yes. It's on the Contents\Frameworks\SDL.framework\Versions\A directory of my app.

Here is all the contents of my app.

[MrTAToad]

Is the directory structure 9/pru.app/Contents/MacOS/MacOSX) correct ?

[t-spy]

Is the directory pru.app/Contents.

[MrTAToad]

I'm just wondering why its MacOS/MacOSX

[t-spy]

MacOSX is te executable file. It's located on the MacOS dir and is how glbasic generate the package.

[MrTAToad]

Ah yes

[Kitty Hello]

I should have named it glb-macos-exe 

[MrTAToad]

It comes of not having a Mac to check
