Being able to build the game is not all, but a good start. Next will be that the test team gets an idea of how serious you are about helping, especially when things are not only fun. A good start is to help testing reports in the bug tracker, especially unconfirmed ones, or ones that are not clearly reproducible.
Thanks, its my first time actually using Terminal, and i've come across an error at almost every step, so its taking a lot longer than I thought, but when I get there, i'd also like to add to the tutorial, and update it to make it less confusing for other new testers.

That bieng said, are there any devs that run OSX? Kayden, RlyDontKnow and Pizik have helped out alot but they don't run OSX.

https://planeshift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/planeshift/trunk
download the source from there with an svn client, in the documentation there is a guide to building follow it in order to get a server and client running. that's a prerequisite to being the in the tester team (just like in the engine development team)

So, is there still a need for Mac OSX people? Not powerPC on my end, but I'm OSX, as you know, Weltall  ;)  If I decide to sit down and try and finish the client and server build sometime, I'll let you know. If you need someone on Mac I'd be happy to do what little I can to help out...

if you want to help testing it would be great, the vm is too slow to actually test the client and i don't want to install macosx natively (even if i should still have 10.4 in some hd)

download the source from there with an svn client...

The sourcecode is provided by a "concurrent versioning system" – here SVN = "SubVersion".

If you talk about an "FTP folder", you are probably using the Internet Explorer under Windows. Sou you were unable to read the "Compiling guide" and did not notice the suggestion to use "Tortoise SVN" as SVN client for Windows.

ok i had learn how to use svn (for what i need) do i had update the version of the pkg (cs cal3d cel and planeshift)

then likke the guide says http://planeshift.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/planeshift/planeshift/docs/compiling.html i had try
Code: [Select]
autoreconf --install --force and the output is :
Code: [Select]
configure.in:62: warning: macro `AM_USE_UNITTESTCPP' not found in library
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: copying file `./config.guess'
libtoolize: copying file `./config.sub'
libtoolize: copying file `./install-sh'
libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.
configure.in:62: warning: macro `AM_USE_UNITTESTCPP' not found in library
configure.in:62: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_USE_UNITTESTCPP
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

so i found this post tht talk about fedora http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=26823.0

make sure to use revision 507 for cal3d - HEAD is broken more often than not

Like I said, I'll do anything to help you guys out if you need Mac OS coverage, I'll let you know when I get that build done...
