CODEF2EXE produziert doch keine MacBinaries oder? Ein G4-Mini kann ja leider kein Windows ausführen.
Oder meinst Du direkt im Webbrowser mit Java die Dinger anzusehen (wab.com). Muss ich da noch mal nachlesen.

War eigentlich dieses INC-Logo mit dem Punkt also (INC.) für PC/CGA anno 1987? auch von Dir?
Hab das gestern erst am EuroPC mit 1084 gesehen dat hier => http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=67628

Zu blöd dass die keine Ahnung vom coden habe, das hätte mir bei PureBasic sicher geholfen...
so fische ich halt im Trüben...

Looks fantastic! Scrolling is very nice! (Tested on iMac27" Wine)

Sorry for Off-Toppic
@INC => Ist das CODEF2EXE von Dir?
Die EXE's gehen vermutlich aber nicht of einem Lowend-PC der P4 Klasse mit Win2kDX9?
Hast Du da ein paar Specs zu den Anforderungen der CODEF2EXE (CPU/RAM/GPU/DX/OS).

I am currently checking out how to fix the last issue. Seems to be a bit problematic.
Perhaps it has reason why no one ever did old-school-effects, remade cracktros/intros on an old mac with an old os.

Next thing to fix (after fixing 1-3)...I am already searching the web.
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1066

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/problems/ccp4onMacs.php#39
If your packages doesn"t experience a problem linking C and C++ code  together, then you don"t have to worry about this. On the other hand,   if it does, you"ll see this:
 ld: Undefined symbols:
 _fprintf$LDBLStub
 ...
 
In that case, you need to add -lSystemStubs to the compilation command.

How can this be done with purebasic?

Thx! updating with "runlib" is the next thing to do. I upgreaded to XCODE 1.5 just recently.
Hopefully I get the "superuser" up on Panther and then the runlib-command. Let's see what is next.

I am sure that I will get something to run on my machine. Thx for the help from you guys!

Panther (OSX 10.3) macht bei der Tastaturkombination für Screenshots komischerweise PDF's spätere OS machen JPEG's warum auch immer.
Ich habe mal parallel bei Macuser im Entwicklerbereich einen Thread aufgemacht. https://www.macuser.de/threads/entwicklungsumgebung-einrichten-g4-mini-panther-10-3-purebasic.802915/

Mal sehen wie ich weiter komme.

Here we go. I got the copperbar-example and I loaded it in my pb-setup.

First run: see Problem1.pdf
I googled and found out that "GetAsyncKeyState" is not usable on a mac, so I went for "KeyboardPushed..."
Result: problem seems to be solved

Second run: see Problem2.pdf
I googled and found out that "can't locate -lcrt1.o" indicates that the CLT are not installed.
I found out, that on OS 10.3 through 10.6 they are on the Install DVD and that's true. I installed them.
Result: problem seems to be solved

Third run: see Problem3.pdf
I have no Idea what to do?
EDIT: Seems to be my problem, but how do I fix this: https://www.mac-help.com/threads/library-out-of-date-rerun-ranlib-1-cant-load-from-it.104449/

Because you need to re-run ranlib whenever the modification date of a .a file changes.

My "latest" Windows is Win2k. I switched to the mac YEARS ago, before there was a short period of Linux.
I can tell you that it's not the same watching these stuff on a 27" iMac widescreen-display. (either with wine / or native booting win which I currently have not installed anymore)

For me it's all about RETRO! I have all the old machines (Amiga, Archimedes, C64, Mac's, PC's XT/AT/386/486/P1-4 etc.) But I would like to "do" some cool stuff that is not done before.
I would like to use my MacMini G4 because it's a powerful tiny silent machine with 30 watt's. MacOS9 is now usable, MacOSX PPC for sure and MorphOS (AmigaOS 4.x should work too).

It would be a hell of a thing to port some of the great stuff to OSX/PPC.

I wish me luck too.

I contacted some other guys that have already some experience in mac-coding.
But a native soundplayer or a library is not funktional within purebasic.
So there will be lot's of work to transform that stuff in a purebasic library.

I think my approch of beginning with some oldschool-effekts is the best way
of getting anything working on my environment.

That sounds pretty bad

But I have choosen that platform and are willing to do some coding on that. There are none oldschool-demos/intros/cracktros existant on the mac, especially PPC!
It would be a cool thing, creating some stuff on my little silent and powerful retro-mac.

First I will try to do some old-effects like starfield and rasterbars. I found some sources and do some experimenting. Perhaps I can learn some basics with that.

I already recognized that is not that easy to download cracktro sources for PB and compiling a runable OSX-PPC-Binary.
I tested nearly all the stuff that is available for download here. None worked.

So I will do another approach. First checkout how effects are done and then trying to find workarounds for the sources that are released here.

Btw. this seems to be an alternative for some of the soundformats http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/

OSX/PPC MX Userlib 1.01 (OSX) http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=46937
An older version with less commands that has ppc support can be downloaded at http://www.w73.nl/pb/oldLibPBMX.zip
OSX/PPC SIDplayer http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=50626
OSX/PPC SNDHplayer http://xsc.atari.org/download.php

Now I have to convert OSME to OSX...

Did you do that ?
Seems to be essential for getting oldschool-music working on OSX.

"OSME library" not available for OSX/PPC

Any "alternatives" kown?

Someone also use PB on OSX here?

Have you done more stuff on OSX?

« on: May 14, 2018 »

Thx! compiling environment is set. I purchased PureBasic and installed Version 4.61 on my PPC G4 MacMini OSX Panther 10.3.9.
That will be my machine for making/compiling 68k intros/cracktros to OSX/PPC. A platform which has none of this stuff.
Should be powerful enough for most of these things (G4-1.4Ghz, R9200/32MB)

I have PureBasic 4.61 for OSX up and running on my MacMini G4 PPC 1.42Ghz OSX Panther 10.3.9!
I will have to complete my environment with librarys that are needed in order to get "music" played and gfx "displayed".
Hopefully some of them exist on the mac-plantform.

« on: April 30, 2018 »

Hi, I am totally frustrated because mostly none of the fantastic intro/cracktro-remakes do work on my system.
So I decided to compile them from the sources on my machine.
I sent an email to the purebasic-guys to sell me a version that IS working on a P3/1400 with Win98se (the current demo does not).
I also asked for a native MacPPC Version for my 1,5Ghz MacMini. It would be a big deal if I can compile them on the mac too. I think none has done that before.

I'll keep you updated!
