As I’ve mentioned previously<\/a>, I’m a big fan of the SID<\/a> tracker GoatTracker<\/a>. I’ve been running the OSX\/PowerPC port of 2.25 (which no longer seems to be on the covertbitops page) since I discovered it at Notacon<\/a>\/Blockparty<\/a> earlier this year. But 2.25 has its quirks – I’ll be damned if I can figure out how to make something more complicated than a single loop.<\/p>\n

I then tried the unofficial port of 2.61 for OS X<\/a> – I could edit the orderlist, but it was still a PPC binary and seemed kinda slow.<\/p>\n

Today I took matters into my own hands. I downloaded 2.65 and built my own OS X\/Intel port. You can download it here<\/a>. It’s not a complicated port – just some modifications to the makefiles, really.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of raw still – all the executables are in .\/bin, and there’s no fancy .app wrapper for the binary – just run .\/bin\/goattrk2.<\/p>\n

(FWIW, I did try to build as a Universal Binary, but the executable is still only i386 arch. Not sure why yet.)<\/p>\n

Update(1\/13\/2008) –<\/strong> I think the problems people were having should be fixed now. It was previously dynamically linked to fink’s version of libSDL rather than the framework-ized version. The download should now be statically linked to the fink libSDL, and dynamically linked to only standard system libraries\/frameworks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
