Having trouble with the Mac version

[memphiselle]

When I use the run.sh script to play dragons lair, i get the following error. How do I fix this?

/Applications/Hypseus/macosx/scripts/run.sh: line 215: hypseus.bin: command not found
HypseusLoader failed to start, returned: 127.

MacOS X

These directions are also within the README in the package zip.

The scripts, and renamed hypseus.bin binary, need to be within the system $PATH

Firstly familiarize yourself with the Terminal application on the Apple site.

All commands below should be issued in Terminal.

Ensure you install the required SDL2 libraries, via homebrew, and ensure they are available within the system $LIBPATH

Install HomeBrew

https://brew.sh

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

echo 'eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> ~/.zprofile

echo 'export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH' >> .zshrc

brew install sdl2
brew install sdl2_ttf
brew install sdl2_image

Install Hypseus

There is no GUI frontend for this application, so all commands should be run from Terminal.

unzip Hypseus.Singe-v2.8.x-macOS-M1-arm64.zip
cd macosx

mkdir -p ~/.daphne/roms
mkdir -p ~/.daphne/vldp
mkdir -p ~/.daphne/vldp_dl
mkdir -p ~/.daphne/singe

cp -R fonts ~/.daphne
cp -R pics ~/.daphne
cp -R sound ~/.daphne
cp doc/hypinput.ini doc/flightkey.ini ~/.daphne

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/
sudo cp hypseus.arm64_t8101 /usr/local/bin/hypseus.bin
sudo cp scripts/run.sh /usr/local/bin/hypseus
sudo cp scripts/singe.sh /usr/local/bin/singe

Running Hypseus

Run via the scripts in 'Terminal' :

hypseus or singe

Further details will be provided to script arguments.

Examine the Bash scripts for further details on required folder structures.

I re installed using these instructions and have everything in the right place. when I use the singe script in usr/local/lib/bin to run time traveler i get /usr/local/bin/singe: line 88: /usr/local/bin/hypseus.bin: Bad CPU type in executable
HypseusLoader failed to start, returned: 126.

what exactly does this mean?

[memphiselle]

actually, maybe its because i'm using the version from internet archive from 2010. i'll try the new data files on here.

You are trying to run the M1 ARM64 binary on an older Intel based Mac ?

You will need to compile the source directly on your Mac, I can only provide the M1 ARM64 (t8101) binary I'm afraid.

There seems to be something called Rosetta for Mac architecture switching, but that appears to be used for the other route.
i.e. running Intel based binaries on ARM64.

I am not a Mac developer, per se, so maybe ask around the Mac dev community.

Just to update this discussion, there is a now a pre-compiled version of Hypseus v2.8.2b for M1 arm and Intel X86_64 based Macs:
