Works basically well for me in all the CVS versions on OS X 10.5.5
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac8,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
One odd issue is that in video playback of the BO105 the blades are
not turning and the aircraft carries its own shadow with it!
Plus still can't get ~ /.atlas.sh & to work with Atlas even in latest
version.
But it's great to have the pre-compiled version and it looks brill on
the big screen.
Tks,

Hi Durk,
Glad to hear that you can be heading onto the release process.

- Compile a comprehensive change log
- Finish the final selection of aircraft for inclusion in the release
- Check any issues that may come up with regard to Scenery
- Check how things are proceeding on the windows and Mac front.
So far Mac platform has the following problems:
- NVIDIA dirver bug - fixed and waiting for feedbacks from users;
patch sent to osg team but not yet applied.
- MAY crash inside OSG on Mac Mini with GMA 950 - sent problem
report to OSG team but no response yet.
- MAY crash on MacBook Air (only one report. need to investigate).
- Crash on Mac Pro (crash report from James Turner, waiting further
feedback from him).
- Likely lack of compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4 - Wait for
feedbacks from OS X 10.4 users on the latest build.
There's an optimization problem on gcc 4.0 (crashes on initializing
static class instances with -O1 or faster),
now I'm using gcc 4.2, but gcc 4.2 comes with Xcode is only for
10.5 sdk (it is said that it is compatible as long
as you don't use 10.5 specific functions) I'm still not sure if it
runs on OS X 10.4.
- Mac specific portion of Manual - being written and patch will soon
be sent, hopefully.
- Sometimes (not often) fgfs crashes on exit (can not reproduce so
it could be a timing issue. still being investigated)
I confirmed that the latest prebuilt package (as of 11/16) runs at
least on:
- MacBook Pro with Radeon X1600 (intel; 10.5.5)
- MacBook with GMA X3100 (intel; 10.5.5)
- iMac with GeForce7300GT (intel; 10.5.5)
- iMac with ATI Radeon HD2400 (intel; 10.5.5)
So in most of cases, it works fine but I still need to find the
cause and workaround for each crash.
Maybe the biggest problem is that it works fine on my machine. :-p
So, I want many Mac users to give me feedbacks on the latest
prebuilt flightgear/cvs.
If some of you have Macs later than ppc/G4, please send me the
following info:
- name of your Mac (e.g. iMac)
- CPU (e.g. Core 2 duo 2.1GHz)
- GPU (e.g. ATI Radeon X1600)
- OS version (e.g. OS X 10.5.5)
- works or not (crash log and/or regular log if not)
I'm also planning to update the GUI launcher for more usability and
Atlas integration, but I'm not sure if I can have time to do so.
Maybe it would be postponed until some time after the official
release, like always :-(
Anyway, If I can either solve (or ignore :-p) the problems above,
there's no difficulties in preparing the official release.
When the new release branch is made, I'll make a release candidate
in a few days.
Another my concern is "what version of OSG will we use for coming
official release? 2.8 as Tim said?"
