Missing Mac shell script

[IsaacMac]

Readme file mentions a shell script (.sh) for Mac but it’s not included in the zip file.

The macOS build hasn't been released yet. With minimal development experience you can compile it yourself using their documentation:

https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Starship/blob/main/docs/BUILDING.md#macos

Besides their documentation, I just had to provide tinyxml2 and rename the ROM to baserom.us.rev1.z64. That was about all the modifications that were required while using the "Release" build options.

Thanks for pointing the way @mirrornoir! Have you had any luck with running cpack to make a distributable from those build instructions? My attempts have created a Starship.app bundle with no executables copied

I got a basic executable created, but I'm getting plenty of SDL audio errors and the game window doesn't launch

Hey all (@mirrornoir, @charlietran, and @ndlanier). I am attempting the "build" option for this on MacOS (arm64 / M1). Did any of you have any luck?

I have gotten to step where you generate a Ninja project: cmake -H. -Bbuild-cmake -GNinja. I was able to install all dependencies via homebrew and clone the project without issue.

I am in the "starship" directory when I run this command and I receive the error:

CMake Error at /Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Resources/CMake/sdl2-config.cmake:17 (message):
  File or directory /Library/Headers referenced by variable SDL2_INCLUDE_DIR
  does not exist !

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Resources/CMake/sdl2-config.cmake:48 (set_and_check)
  libultraship/cmake/dependencies/mac.cmake:35 (find_package)
  libultraship/CMakeLists.txt:41 (include)

And the build fails. I am new to building and running these projects on MacOS so any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS. I am not sure where to put the dumped ROM in the starship directory, but I do not think I even got that far since the fail seems to happen at SDL2 framework. The SDL2 framework is in the /Library/Frameworks/ directory.

Thank you!
