To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hey Guys,
OSX binary builds are now back! :nyam:
In the past I was manually creating an app bundle, which made it all pretty, but was very brittle (as it relied on a custom XCode project that broke when new files were added to the project)
Since the goal is to now automated the binary build process, I've had remove the XCode dependancy and build with autotools (i.e. ./configure && make).
As a result, the package is a little different than previous binaries. I've done away with an app bundle (just for the moment) and just have a simple folder structure. Simply extract the archive and run the pioneer script at the base of the package.
If any OSX users could do some testing to make sure I've captured all the dependancies and some feedback on this new setup then that would be great! (I've tested on 10.7.x and 10.8.x - 10.6.x has NOT been tested )
(weblinks to the download should be updated shortly)
Cheers,
Philbywhizz.
And following on from this, they're now _really_ back. I've now got a shell account on an actual OS X machine, and have hooked it up to the build process. Now OS X builds will be generated automatically at the same time as the other builds.
Thanks Mac users for your patience 🙂
Are there any "stable" versions as anything that I tried (osx 10.9) crash mainly when I press the damned F5 while on map, so I cannot go to any other planet!
