I should be a good occasion to update it, the stable is the v100

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Surely there must be a newer stable version than that by now. In January 2011 I began trying to update the port to version 102.2.2. I didn't succeed however so I didn't commit it. According to the download page, ​the latest release of simutrans is 111.2.2.

[synthetiser@…]

Indeed, that's the last version and I succeed to compile it. But it's under ssh on my father computer, and personally I left the mac world, so I can't really check and maintain it. Anyway this is the way I used :
With exactly the same dependencies as the current simutrans port version
Download the sources
Copy config.template to config.default
In config.default, uncomment at least the lines :

BACKEND = sdl
COLOUR_DEPTH = 16
OSTYPE = mac
SDL_CONFIG     = sdl-config

Optionally uncomment and complete the line BUILDDIR to install in /opt/games or something

If somebody can, it should be nice to update the port. If not, maybe if I have enough time and a mac, I'll try to do it.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I updated the port in r92255 and it works for me. Can you test it too?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Oh right, sorry, you said you don't actually have a Mac. I'll just assume this is sufficient then.

Ok, I tried through ssh, and it works well, my father said that it seems all ok

Thanks
