      Yes sure. I may not be much help with nasty mac problems but rewriting the compile guide would be nice.

        Ok, so can you try building and running the Java client on mac? (make sure you have java 14 installed first and you'll need to expose the INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME variable as a variable that points towards the java bin folder, something like this :

         export INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-14.0.2/

        somewhere mac picks up)

        an then see if it runs.

        How to setup FAF on linux

          I'm excited that there has been some traction on an FAF for Mac Discussion. I hadn't played Supreme Commander FA for about 8 years (never played the original, but hopped in for FA and it was amazing) and was so excited to find a community still around it. I'm using PaulTheTalls Porting Kit on my 2017 MacBook Pro and have been running the campaign and normal online with no issues. I really want to get online and involved with FAF

          I have downloaded the Java Client. I made sure I had Java 14 installed. Then I ran the command you listed above. I then followed the rest of the instructions (here: https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Setting_Up_FAF_Linux) but making slight adjustments based on my file names.

          When I ran my faf-client executable I saw the following:
          java.lang.RuntimeException: No toolkit found
          at com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.getToolkit(Toolkit.java:272)
          at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.startup(PlatformImpl.java:267)
          at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.startup(PlatformImpl.java:158)
          at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.startToolkit(LauncherImpl.java:658)
          at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplication1(LauncherImpl.java:678)
          at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.lambda$launchApplication$2(LauncherImpl.java:195)
          at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:832)

          After this, I started digging into the /usr/lib directory, and I couldn't find any folder named jvm. This leads me to believe that Java 14 wasn't installed correctly. I tried it again and still was not here. Not sure if this would mean I don't even have java downloaded. Feeling pretty stupid rn. Any thoughts?

            I didn't check what tatsu is doing in particular.

            JavaFX has dedicated jars for Windows, Linux and Mac. Whether you took the Windows or the Linux release we provide, you are missing the JavaFX dependencies for Mac. The stacktrace indicates this as well. You would need a dedicated build for Mac. Not sure how tatsu worked around this.

            He said, "I've been to the year 3000
            Not much has changed, but they live underwater
            And your great-great-great-granddaughter
            Is playin' FAF, playin' FAF"

              If you want mac support you should start the client from Intelij and make it has no issues if that works we can provide a built for mac

              Soon™️

                  Not sure if you had read, but he was referencing this original post on it: https://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16947#p169818 . Don't want to take up too much of your time but if you look at those instructions, do you think this would still work?

                  @axel12 are you saying just test to see if I can run the client from Intelij? I will start attempting this now and update you on my progress

                    Well I can built you can installer for mac but Ithink the client has bugs that make it unusable on mac. Those need to be resolved by someone on mac. Therefore you need to start it from Intelij and solve those. They are gonna be minor bugs. E.g. we have code that makes the icon blink but this code might not work on mac therefore would need to be wrapped in an

                    if(! isMac()){
    ...
}

                    Just as an example but we will only know what is bugged out on mac if somebody tries...

                      Followed the Video in the readme to set up Intelij, and tried to run faf-client. Here is a majority of my output:

                          My misunderstanding then. I'm not sure I would have the capability to fix every bug to allow it to be run on a mac, given I have extremely limited developing experience.

                          Because you have a better understanding of the code, would you expect these to truly be easy fixes? - for example, adding those if blocks. If it's not stuff like that, I don't think I am the person to lead the rebuild.

                              Checkout the feature/mac-support branch and try again I should have fixed the Exception above but there are sure gonna be more.

                                  Now how likely is it to be able to run faf on an m1 mac?

                                  I don't have one yet, but that would be pretty sweet.

                                  But given that it seems like it is no easy feat to get it to work even on intel macs I assume it might be a long shot 😛

                                    Let's see:

                                    • Apple dropped support for OpenGL long ago and skipped Vulkan (required to emulate DirectX)
                                    • Apple somehow disclosed device details so that Linux support since 2017 is reduced to basic features
                                    • different CPU architecture will cause huge overhead on emulating x86.

                                    Apple works hard for years to keep Linux developers out of their ecosystem. But Wine and Proton are primarily Linux applications. Maybe some hardcore fanboys try to support it, but it will never reach the compatibility again it once had.

                                    He said, "I've been to the year 3000
                                    Not much has changed, but they live underwater
                                    And your great-great-great-granddaughter
                                    Is playin' FAF, playin' FAF"
