Loading simutrans 102.0 for mac

I have just downloaded simutrans 102.0 for mac, placed the simutrans folder into my application folder, and added the pak sets. I now have all the files and folders that are present in the folder of the previous version of simutrans I have.

In the terminal utility, when i double click on simutrans, the following is displayed:

dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/simutrans/simutrans
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap
logout

[Process completed]

Why is simutrans finding it impossible to load, and how do I correct this so that I can play?

Thanks in advance.

I can make very little sense of that... but does this mean the problem can or can't be solved to make the game playable?

I don't have a Mac, but I think I can help.

In the german forum maxigs said, that you have to install macports (I don't know, how to do this) and then you must install SDL via:
Code: [Select]
sudo port install libsdl
sudo port install libsdl-framework
Last you must create a symlink, since simutrans searches in a wrong(?) place:
Code: [Select]
ln -s /opt/local/var/macports/software/libsdl/1.2.13_2/opt/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.11.2.dylib /sw/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib
ln -s /opt/local/var/macports/software/libsdl/1.2.13_2/opt/local/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.0.2.6.dylib /sw/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.0.dylib
Maybe you need sudo for this command, too.

Edit: If SDL is installed at an other place, you have to alter the first path in the ln-command.

I've installed MacPorts successfully, but entering that code hasn't worked quite as it ought to. It produced the following output then I entered all three lines in succession:

@zoltan: have you ever tried this: http://www.aleopardstail.com/simutrans/Simutrans%20(Developer).html (?)

i think, it's the easiest way to install a Simutrans-Version on a Mac-Computer, because you d'ont need any special link to the sdl...
(to add more paks, just open the application-bundle and look for the pak-folder)


otherwise, you can use this version: http://www.derkarl.de/simutrans_102_r2366_osx_x86.zip (it's expects only the SDL.framework in library/frameworks)

Sorry, 5eko, that's still the version that requires either Fink to be installed or a symlink to the corrected library path if you're using Macports. The version that does not depend on Fink or Macports can be downloaded via this link: http://www.derkarl.de/simutrans_102_r2366_osx_x86_nosymlink.zip When you want to use this binary you only need to download the SDL from here: http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php (look under "Runtime Libraries" -> "Mac OS X"). And then simply follow the instructions that are contained in the disk image. Remember that you still need to download at least a Pak to be able to play Simutrans (if you haven't done this already).
