I have constructed a build file for MacPorts that builds the tip of the 1.9 dev tree. No intervention should be required. Just download the Portfile to any folder, and "sudo port -v install" from that folder, and the latest version of widelands should install for you into /Applications/Macports. Move 1.7 or 1.8 out of the way first or it'll get overwritten. https://github.com/ken-cunningham-webuse/myports/blob/master/games/widelands-devel/Portfile ![]() ![]() |

Thanks for doing this, Ken! Maybe it makes it easier for people to get into development of Widelands on Mac. If your goal was to only play the game, there is a simple way though: I provide nightlies of the tip of trunk for Mac OS X. They are build the same way that the Mac OS X releases are done (I do those too), so they should work on most Macs out of the box. ![]() ![]() |

The old definiton is really old :-) port search widelands widelands @build17_7 (games) open-source real-time strategy game inspired by Settlers OK, was build sucesfully, and I could open it!. Just the Icon has this ugly "No parking" sign. Not sure if this is not some kind of "build" artifact.

I hope you find it useful! There are some idiosyncrasies to using it this way, but it's easier than most build methods.
One other thing about the way macports builds things when using source control systems like bzr, git, or similar -- all the downloaded files are dumped at the end of the build, so next build, you get to download it all again. I think there's no way around this easily. But C'est la vie. It works.
here, there is something to know. when you download the build file and build it as I mentioned ("sudo port -v install" from the download folder") macports will use the new build file. but if you "sudo port info widelands" macports looks into it's own database, finds it's own last portfile (which in your case is the 1.7 version -- BTW you should There is a way to have macports see your own portfiles -- by setting up a local repository, which most macports 'power users' seem to do, and as i do. Instructions are here https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.local-repositories.html and I have some more of my own instructions here https://github.com/ken-cunningham-webuse/TigerPorts for a Tiger port repo I maintain. Once you figure out how this works, it's very powerful. You can do a lot to the build using macports this way. Adjust your own options in the portfile, and adjust your own dependencies. You can download the source (sudo port extract), tweak it in the download folder (cd the steps are slightly different if you're using the portfile 'loose' in a folder as I initially indicated, or if you've set up your own local repository (my recommendation), or if you're building from the macports repository directly. I hope this helps to make it all more useful and interesting for you. K ![]() ![]() |

Hello ken, I used your Portfile to build widelands dev on some old iMAC (24" late 2008) For the Record, just using port install will do, -v will just produce a lot of verbose output looks like this worked just fine Here are the widelands where people may dwell, walking around care that evrythings well. ![]() ![]() |

Will do, thanks. I have had a 'widelands-devel' port up for consideration to include in macports for a while now https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52542 but to be honest things can move slowly on macports and they've never gotten around to including it. Perhaps they never will.... ![]() ![]() |

Hello ken, please remove the dependency from SLD.NET, as of https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands/net-boost-asio we do not need this any longer. I will check once you canged it. Thx Here are the widelands where people may dwell, walking around care that evrythings well. ![]() ![]() |
