I think #46495 and #46493 are relevant for macOS builds. Likely not directly affecting (blocking) this ticket. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket Status: Reporter: ddeanbrown Owner: (None) Type: Tasks Status: Open Priority: 5 - Medium MileStone: 3.1.0 Component: Bootstrap Severity: 5 - Medium Resolution: None --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket details: Spun off from #46342 It looks like it is possible to build a self-contained Mac app bundle with meson, using static libraries. This would allow an end user to download a zip file, un-zip it, put freeciv.app in their Applications folder, and run it without having to install homebrew and the homebrew packages. Would need a script to build it, and a MacAppREADME.txt file to include in the zip file. The main issue is that meson.build needs to replace (at least some) calls to c_compiler.find_library() with calls to dependency(). -- Ticket information of Freeciv project Freeciv Project is hosted on OSDN Project URL: https://osdn.net/projects/freeciv/ OSDN: https://osdn.net URL for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/projects/freeciv/ticket/46474 RSS feed for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/ticket/ticket_rss.php?group_id=12505&tid=46474
