ashitaka, that's a totally different issue.
Ricardo, is that the full crash log? If so, please state more information about your hardware (what kind of iBook is that? What processor?)
comment:4 by , 18 years ago
My iBook is a G3 900 Mhz (12"). Here is the info as it appears in System Profiler:

I have also just updated the OS to version 10.4.3 (Build 8F46), but ScummVM still does not launch.
comment:6 by , 18 years ago
Could you please try again with 0.8.0a (I just posted that): <http:// osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/scummvm/scummvm-0.8.0a-macosx.dmg>
OS X 10.4.3 can't help, the fact that you have a G3 processor is the problem. Not sure if the new build fixes that or not. Sadly nobody I know still has a G3 machine, so I can't test this myself...

Just tried the new build, but it still doesn't work. Guess I'll have to stick with version 0.7.1
comment:8 by , 18 years ago
I am getting an identical crash log as ricardo using nearly identical hardware and software when using both 0.8.0 and 0.8.0a:

Well this bug report intrigues me. I have a G3 iBook (800Mhz) and ScummVM seems to run fine for me. I've tried and successfully run v0.8.0a (downloaded this morning), a version of 0.8.0 that I compiled myself and the latest version compiled from todays CVS snapshot. I'm still running 10.3.9 maybe this is why I'm not getting any problems.
Cheers,
Jim
comment:10 by , 18 years ago
Yeah, I am wondering about this, too.
Techincally, ScummVM contains Altivec code, which doesn't work on G3 machines, of course. However, we follow standard procedures (based on Apple's example code) to only conditionally use it -- i.e. if you don't have an Altivec enabled system, the Altivec code isn't used. Hence there is no deep techincal reason why it shouldn't run.
So my only guess is that for some reason 10.4.x is overeager in protecting the user from running potentially "bad" software... Hrm. I'll tryy and see if I can find out a bit more about this "error".

The same problem occurs on my iBook G3 800 scummvm 0.8.0a MacOSX 10.4.3 SDL 1.2.9 (stable)

I hope you can fix the problem, cause the new features are interesting!

I may have found a solution for the problem. If any of your could download the test built from <http://scummvm.org/downloads/scummvm-g3-test.zip> and tell me whether it helps... thanks!
comment:13 by , 18 years ago
Oh and if you can actually start this build of scummvm -- could you please also test the hq2x / hq3x scalers and see whether they work properly for you? Thanks again.
comment:14 by , 18 years ago
The new build launches just fine. I'm not quite sure what you were looking for with the hq2x/hq3x filters, but I tested them and they looked much cleaner than the screenshots in the bug report.
comment:15 by , 18 years ago
The test build works on my computer. Scalars appear to be working fine. Thank you so much. Let me know if you need any other testing done.
comment:17 by , 18 years ago
Also, works fine here on my G3 b/w and my iBook, thank you very much! No problems with the hq2x/hq3x filters on a quick test. The GUI is much better in 0.8.0 now. Keep up your good work!
comment:18 by , 18 years ago
Thanks for the tests. I'll either make a 0.8.0b, or wait till we have 0.8.1 ready.
comment:19 by , 18 years ago
Out of interest, what was causing the problem with the 10.4 systems? Was it a simple compile flag fix or something more complicated?

comment:20 by , 18 years ago
GCC 4 sets too high cpu-subtype values by default, so I had to override it with a switch. This'll be done automatically for future builds.

On Jaguar (10.2.8) it also fails, but this time because it cannot open the library /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib, which is only present in later versions of Mac OS X.
