Make Orxonox work on OS X

[dafrick]

Make Orxononx compile and run on OS X. If possible, create a bundle.

General Update for Ticket (as of March 13 2011)

Consult MacOSX? for more details (including a tutorial).

Achieved Goals

• Dependency package for Mac OS X 10.6
• Compilation
• Execution
• Playability
• Tutorial and Documentation

Prevailing Issues

• Occasional crashes (eg. in conjunction with sound and occasionally in fullscreen mode)
• Sound errors: OpenAL (maybe ALUT)
• No application bundle
• Render window issues (eg. staying inactive / in background)
• Linker Warnings (same issue as: ​Linker Warnings)

Additional Information

Resolving Render Window Issues

We need a way to properly interface with the ​Cocoa framework of Apple. We do need in-depth knowledge of ObjectiveC/C++. ​“Tutorial 1" and ​Tutorial 2 may help.

Creating a Mac Application Bundle

Most of the work is done by CPack, a co-application of CMake. The following three pages might help: ​Packaging with CPack, ​Bundle Utilities Example and ​CPack Generators.
