Continuing to need a Mac OS X developer to maintain Tux Pain
Bill Kendrick
Guest

Well, another report has come in from someone trying to use
the latest Mac OS X build of "Tux Paint" on Apple's new
Mac OS X 10.11 'El Capitan', and getting CRAZY skewed graphics,
which seems like it would be an issue at the SDL / video driver
level. :^/

Once again, I'm reaching out to see if anyone here can lend
a hand. (In the meantime, I've asked the latest person to go
add his details & screenshots to the bug report, mentioned in
my email below, from -yikes- 4 months ago... time flies ;^( )

Thanks in advance!

and THAT was over a year ago! (It was produced by a
developer who was being paid a bounty by a 3rd party who
wanted to get Tux Paint working on OS X 10.9.)

We're in a similar problem to the 10.9 issue, in that now
I'm receiving reports/complaints about Tux Paint not working
once people upgrade to El Capitan.

See: http://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/bugs/206/

So, I'm once again* reaching out into the void to see if anyone out
there is able & willing to volunteer for the project
(it's licensed GPLv2; see: http://www.tuxpaint.org/ )

Thanks in advance!


* I swear, this has is like pulling teeth :^/ No programmers
use Macs any more? Mac folks don't have time/inclination to
volunteer? They have a thing against children? What? ;^)

I saw that report too but I have an old G4 that unfortunately only supports up to OS 9.2.

I don't think a VM can give accurate results, so I looked on ebay for a mac mini
and hope I can get one cheap, but no promises.

Hi there,

Although I am not able to offer any programming help at this time, I did
notice something that may help indicate where the problem may be:

MacBook Air (2011 model, stock, with the Intel HD 3000 chipset)
Mac OS X 10.11.4
http://static.inky.ws/image/5592/macbookair.png

After a minute of showing that and nothing more, I terminated the app.

Hackintosh build (2015, NVIDIA GeForce GT 740)
Mac OS X 10.11.3
http://static.inky.ws/image/5593/hackintosh.png

No problems whatsoever. I wonder if the problem could be video related?

Other thoughts: What version of SDL1 is TuxPaint built against? I notice
a number of changes, some of which affect the video subsystem, on the
latest tip of the SDL1 branch. Worth a shot to anybody that volunteers
for this.

I wish you luck!

Cheers,
Jeffrey Carpenter

I have a mac but to be honest el capitan is such a major pain I actually
shrunk the size of my mac partition to about 100gb because I might need
xcode sometime in the future but I rarely go there anymore. I mainly use
vanilla Debian as it has everything that I need and it just works.

Apple has been making a lot of short sighted decisions that I believe
will hurt them when their massive profits start to dry up.

I can't promise anything today but I'll look at it this weekend and see
if I can provide any help.

Best,
Owen
