Reading your response tells me a couple of things that we have done differently. You used Homebrew (which I believe doesn't use quartz windows manager as a gtk+2 backend (at least by default). I used Macports. Actually the reason I use Macports was it was the only way to really make a standalone DMG that could contain GNUBG installations. With that being said I followed the typical installation guidelines on macports.org. I did this on a virgin macOS High Sierra install, with the exception that I installed the xquartz X11 interface from www.xquartz.org). I didn't need a complete copy of Xcode (just the Xcode command line tools which the instruction guide you on doing). Once Macports itself was installed I installed the Macports version of GNUBG (which is at 1.05.002) with the command: sudo port install gnubg +board3d +x11 +random_org This enables X11 and 3d Boards and dice generation from random org. Once it was built up it ran great using X11 (although I think there is a long standing bug that may make GNUbg appear to hang when sound is enabled). I then installed macports CVS, pulled out the latest cvs code and did a build. I will have to dig up the exact command line I used (I had to build it without Python support since I originally didn't have time to hunt down the header issue a couple days ago that gave the Python code some headaches). The latest build with X11 enabled worked fine. --- If we back up a bit, what also surprised me was this. On MacOS High Sierra (I have never use MacOS), the first thing I actually did was install www.xquartz.org (xquartz is the quartz interface with an X11 backend) and installed the gnubg 1.04.000 DMG for 10.10 from the wesbite. I did this to see what errors were produced. Interestingly enough that old DMG worked the way it had under 10.10.The first time it is run you need to give it a few minutes to load (if on a slower Mac) which is documented in the readme file in the DMG. When run occasionally the GNUBG window might come up white with borders. This is easy to resolve. Just resize the window a bit and it will render as expected. I have never used MacOS Sierra (the previous release). Maybe it didn't work on that release, but it does seem to work on High Sierra as it did on versions 10.10 and earlier.It surprised me that it runs because over the past couple of years I assumed it didn't based on all the posts about it. So it was a surprise to me when it worked. including board3d support. _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
