I can look into it - in theory a Panther build should be possible, although at this point, with the game not being very playable, its not really worth the effort imho.
Got a tip for us?

SDL2 for Amiga:
Release 2.26.1 release for AmigaOS 4 · AmigaPorts/SDL
Fix joystick GUID generation and update internal gamecontroller database with new GUIDs. Remove related RC1 workaround. Please use the SDL 2.26.1 RC2 (or newer) library when providing new controlle...

No, I have not.
My target is Amiga 68k, there are some pretty spruced up accelerators nowadays. But I know a guy in the our AmigaDev discord that plans to target MorphOS and WarpOS.
Weird, the compiler I use to compile for Amiga 68k is gcc 6.5.x. Have you tried with the latest fwgs sources?
As I suspected.

Thank you, I will look into their patches, maybe something helps us on Darwin.
I not not very sure, but chances are gcc10-bootstrap can build on 10.4: https://ports.macports.org/port/gcc10-bootstrap
P. S. Install with -universal flag: sudo port -v install gcc10-bootstrap -universal

ye I cloned the latest version of the source using git.
If it builds for you using gcc6 then it should work for me as well tho.
I've attached the config log for review. It seems to fail at the c-flags check.
Hi! I tried to build thermophyale33's GitHub repo on my G3 (it's all I have to test it on/work with) using Xcode Tools 1.5 and Xcode Legacy Tools, however i can't find a version of git that is compatible with 10.3 and I get an error building which complains about "no rule to make target '|', needed by sv_client.o, stop." and I can't seem to find a workaround. I'm trying to replicate the original posts's steps, and I THINK I found the original branch with ppc support but not completely sure. Anyone who could give me any guidance or help would be much appreciated, thanks!
Edit: grammar and spelling
None of the compilers that ship with Xcode 1.5 will be able to build this source unfortunately - You'd be better advised building against the 10.3.9 SDK running Tiger.
I'll give it a shot later today or tomorrow.
Thanks so much! My G3’s specs seems to be compatible with 10.4 but when I mount the DMG and run the installer it says it isn’t compatible, so I don’t think I’ll be running tiger anytime soon, so thanks for offering to build it!
Is it a retail disc or are you using a hardware/model specific install disk because those will not work.
I used the upgrade disc from the website and virtually mounted the DMG
(Edit \/)
Also, I found a retail tiger “dvd” iso on archive.org, could I write that to a cd-r or do I need a dvd-rw (my Mac is slot loading)? Thanks!
It’s just, I don’t have a dvd-r to hand or in my local shop, would a dvd+/-rw work? Also, would I need a specific one (+ or -)? I mean, if possible, could I use a CD-R? Because I bought 2 the other day and haven’t used them yet lolThe 500Mhz models come with a built in DVD player so you can burn the iso to a DVD-R - if that doesn't work, the macintoshgarden also has a CD version of 10.4.
Thanks!
IDK, just try the one you got - you'd need more than 2 CDs for a full Tiger install tho - i believe it came on 4 discs...
Tiger_CD1 to 4 are the correct downloads btw.
Alright I've managed to compile a working Xash build for Panther, if you're still interested I can share it here.
Half-Life Xash3D (PPC Panther)
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

It's also available on the macgarden fyi.
Why do you think that the Models textures are loading in this way?
for example, trousers are loading just fine, parts of some weapons too, but the rest.. weird.. and the map is loading perfectly fine
I read in the original youtube video a comment that may be related or not.. even the uploader of the video replied..
I even trying using another versions of the "valve" folder (for example, from the Android Port) but no luck there

Guys, though i didn't try current build myself, i'm sending great respects for your work. It’s always nice to see that enthusiasts are working on projects for deprecated platforms. I wasn't an apple user back then, but now i'm digging this field as a retro fan. And it was a big surprise that such popular title as half-life was never ported to PPC. Wish to see it playable one day.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Thanks, Half-Life is one of my favourite childhood games and I was extremely disappointed when the offical Mac port got cancelled at the finish line back in 1999 so I have a big personal interest in bringing this game to the PPC platform.
Unfortunaltey I'm not a programmer so my usefulness in terms of bugfixing is very limited but there's hoping the Alpha build will attract other peoples attention who are actually able to help get this thing playable.
Here's a short gameplay video of the current Panther build btw:
A small update:
I playtested the current build on a G3 iMac and noticed the libxashmenu.dlyib was causing crashes due to an "incompatible CPU subtype error" so I recompiled the library and now its working properly.
Also setting gl_picmip to "1" in the opengl.cfg config file will help reduce the crashes a little bit (at the cost of texture fidelity)

Resurrecting the topic... Personally, I couldn't get the DVD version of 10.4 to work after recording, so I recommend that you use the 4 CD version. In fact, I usually only use 2 CDs, because I don't install printer drivers and other languages.
I finally managed to get my hands on a Powerbook G4 1.67, I'm going to download it and try to fix these textures
