Hi. I am trying to make Freeciv re-distributable (current version is 2.1.0-beta3); that is, making it run w/o having to install MacPorts. I've had very good success in the past. But after I upgraded my ports recently, things stopped working. After I upgraded my ports and built Freeciv, the games runs fine. So there is something amiss w/ what I am doing. A brief description of what I do to make Freeciv re-distributable is as follows: I've copied all the needed binary files to a location other than /opt/ local. These files have had their dependency paths re-written using otool and install_name_tool. I also have made copies of the needed config files from /opt/local/etc, and have modified them to point away from /opt/local. In the launcher script I wrote to start the game executable, the following environment variables are set for the dependent ports fontconfig, pango, and gtk2: FONTCONFIG_FILE PANGO_RC_FILE GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE When I run the modified civclient binary via the launcher script, I get the following messages: (freeciv:2564): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. (freeciv:2564): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means there was an error in the creation of: '/opt/local/etc/pango/pango.modules' You should create this file by running pango-querymodules. (freeciv:2564): Pango-WARNING **: pango_shape called with bad font, expect ugly output (freeciv:2564): Pango-WARNING **: pango_font_get_glyph_extents called with null font argument, expect ugly output (freeciv:2564): Pango-WARNING **: pango_font_get_metrics called with null font argument, expect ugly output (freeciv:2564): Pango-WARNING **: _pango_cairo_font_install called with bad font, expect ugly output The locale warning has been there for a while. I don't know what it means, but it has never caused the executable to not work in the past. The warnings about Pango are new, though. Freeciv runs despite the warnings, but in place of where text should be, each letter is rendered as a rectangle. Can someone w/ experience in making binary distributions based on MacPorts shed some light on my current dilemma? Thanks!
