Difficult to say from that crash log, but try disabling APE and seeing if that changes anything. It's usually fine, but has been known to make programs crash in the past.

I am a mac programmer, but im nervous about joining tmw development because of my lack of SDL knowledge and experience. Also, why does SDL have to be used to play sound on the mac? There are other tools for accomplishing the task that might work better for us mac users.

Splitting the codebase ...

No, I think nayr was explaining what you meant more thoroughly to Tenche.

they do? good thing! ever tried extracting a .sit on something else than a mac?
btw, dmg -does- actually have compression - but a sucky one, unfortunately. using bzip2 produces files about half as big.

You can get a bit better compression with .dmg by fiddling with hdiutil (the command line tool ...

Stuffit is not included in the latest version of the system. Zip is, as is .dmg. I'm pretty sure Apple is trying to get rid of .sit.

Emulation will stop being hardware emulation Hardware emulation is probably by far the best reason that Windows emus suck, they just can't get it to do it right, but please, please tell me that Macs still won't need sound cards!

nForce motherboards (among others) have onboard sound for PCs, so I ...

for x86 progs, yes. but think about all the old mac progs, which'd either need porting, or a ppc emu. and afaik there aren't really any ppc emus to speak of (pearpc is SLOW!)

A PowerPC emulator is built into the x86 version of OSX. Reportedly a 3 ...

Good luck with it. I assume you've seen the wiki page on the Mac port?

Yeah, the last link I posted does appear to be busted. I'll have another shot in a bit (hopefully after I get a new binary to work with).

This is the OLD OLD Mac build. Note the date on that post.

Working for me now

arg. Still won't download at all for me. I'll fiddle with it some more later.

New build up at http://david.devserver.org/tmw-0.0.14.1-mac.dmg

(well, once the DNS updates, anyway)

Yeah, the sound code crashes at the moment. I'll post a new build shortly that a) has only one Dock icon (it worked even better than I'd expected), b) has sound turned off, and c) has an application icon.
