[glob2-devel] running globulation on mac os x

[Kevin Tran]

Hi I just played globulation on windows on my brother's computer and I really like the game.  I want to run it on my computer which runs OS X.  There is no mac dmg listed on the download page even though there are instructions on how to install it from a dmg.  In the discussion section of the download page there is a comment that says that globulation 2 can be installed on the mac using darwinports (now called MacPorts).  On the darwin ports page, the version listed is 0.8.21, so it's a little bit out of date, but there's another problem.  I followed the instructions and the darwin ports installed a number of dependencies successfully and then I got this in the console:

--->  Fetching glob2

--->  Attempting to fetch glob2-0.8.21.tar.gz from http://globulation2.org//releases/0.8.21/

--->  Attempting to fetch glob2-0.8.21.tar.gz from http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/glob2

Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: fetch failed

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I'm guessing that the urls for this older version are no longer valid.  So now I don't know what to do to install this game.  Do you think you guys can make the binary for macintosh available?  Or if you can't, then point me in the direction of how to do it myself because I really want to play this game again.

Best,
