Summary	0007389: freetype missing on OS X; causes crashes when entering fullscreen and/or starting DF

Revision	2015-10-18 10:56 by lethosor
Description	(Removed partial duplicate of 0005260) Apple stopped distributing X11 with OS X 10.8+, so players with newer versions of OS X have freetype6.dylib missing from their system, and the game crashes with: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib Referenced from: /Users/hlavaczech/Downloads/df_osx/libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/SDL_ttf Reason: image not found

Description	(Manager's note: this part is 0005260.) 1. SDL 1.2.13 bundled with DF causes fullscreen mode to crash the game every time. As the maintainer of the Macnewbie pack I'm distributing the game with SDL 1.2.15, fullscreen mode works, haven't found any problem with it on the past months, I recommend upgrading. 2. The other problem is that Apple stopped distributing X11 with Osx 10.8 and 10.9, so unless players are instructed to install XQuartz, freetype6.dylib is missing from their system, and the game crashes with: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib Referenced from: /Users/hlavaczech/Downloads/df_osx/libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/SDL_ttf Reason: image not found This can be easily solved by <s>bundling freetype6 in DF/libs</s>.
