Loving it but a few questions

[Gan]

I'm using D-SFML on a Mac using Xamarin Studio and when I send my executable to another person, they can't run it. They get this error:

[1/24/15, 8:42:41 PM] Connors: terminal

  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

How can I include the libraries with the binary?


Thanks,

I haven't built/ran anything on a Mac in quite  some time, but I can tell you this isn't just a D issue. You'll need to either make sure the libraries or frameworks get installed to the correct path in your friend's computer or include them directly with your executable and have them load when you run it. It should be the exact  same process as it would be with the C++ version. If you do a search for that I'm sure you'll find the right information. I only have one Mac machine so I haven't had to try getting a build to work on other Macs.

I'll uh, ignore the issue until my project gets a little further.

To fix this issue, make your own Application Bundle and put the required frameworks in it.

For loading resources in the bundle:

Code: [Select]

string path = thisExePath();
int index = to!int(path.lastIndexOf("/"));
if (!GameFont.loadFromFile(path[0 .. index]~"/vertiup2.ttf")) {
writeln("Font failed to load");
}
