Re: [Enigma-devel] OS X Lion

[gedgeck]

Hi,
Yes, it works on MacOS X Lion with -w flag:

1) Go to Applications/Enigma.app/Contents/MacOS/
2) Execute ./enigma -w

As a result I have seen [standard] warning:

Warning once: This application, or a library it uses, is using NSQuickDrawView, 
which has been deprecated. Apps should cease use of QuickDraw and move to 
Quartz.

and game starts as expected. If I trying to switch fullscreen it brings that 
error and freezes:

<Warning>: CGDisplayBaseAddress is obsolete and returning NULL for display 
0x42731c0

So, it seems you are right on that, Ronald.
