Thanks for the quick response, Dennis!

I forgot to mention (even though I thought about it while writing the original post) to mention that I am running macOS 10.14.6 using the built in Bash shell.  That you are using a custom version of sed explains the the first issue.

Yes, I have Xcode installed, and I verified that the path looks good.

I don't have freetype, most likely, so that's the next step I'll take.

Best regards,

Oh, to solve the freetype error you have to download https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.4.12.tar.bz2 to the libsrc directory.

This is amazing work, Dennis, thank you!  This has been the key to help me port several games to the Mac.

I'm having some issues trying to port another game, so I'm guessing the game might be built using AGS 3.5.0 (or whatever is the most current), so I am trying to follow Dennis's instructions above to download and build AGS 3.5.0.  However, I've encountered a couple of issues.

The first stumbling block was trying to run the sed command against the Makefile:

Code: ags

cd ags-release-3.5.0/OSX/buildlibs && sed -i -e "s/10\.7/10.14/gi" -e "s/-arch i386 //gi" -e "s/;i386//gi" Makefile && cd -

sed: 1: "s/10\.7/10.14/gi": bad flag in substitute command: 'i'

Not sure why this is complaining about the 'i' substitute.  I also tried adding a backslash before the period in "10.14", but this didn't fix the error.  However, I was able to make the updates by opening up the Makefile in a text editor and making the three sets of replacements (change 10.7 to 10.14 and remove the i386 architecture references).

I then moved on to trying to perform the installation, and it appears to have downloaded a bunch of packages, before it failing

Code: ags

% cd ags-release-3.5.0/OSX/buildlibs && make install && cd -
allegro-4.4.2.tar.gz: OK
dumb-0.9.3.tar.gz: OK
libogg-1.3.2.tar.gz: OK
libtheora-20150828-gfbb2758.tar.bz2: OK
libtheora-20160525-g50df933.tar.bz2: OK
libtremor-20150108-r19427.tar.bz2: OK
libvorbis-1.3.5.tar.gz: OK
lua-5.1.5.tar.gz: OK
./checkenv.sh
make: *** [prepare] Error 1

If I run checkenv.sh by itself, no error, so perhaps the next step, or perhaps I am missing something with my system.  Any ideas what might be causing this issue?  Thanks for any tips and assistance.

Is MacOS a fairly up-to-date channel? Is it likely that 3.5.0 might be released for MacOS in the next 6mo?

I already built 3.4.4. I can take a look if I can build 3.5.

I currently can't find the time to integrate my changes properly into the repo, but I'm on it.

Kind regards 
Dennis
