[liquidwar-user] MacOS X doesn't work at all

[Sebastian Vollmer]

Hello out there

I worked very hard to get liquid war on MacOS X to work but I failed. 
First I tried to get allegro 4.0.3 to work, buts wrong, because there 
is no really mac os x supporting...
Then I downloaded Allegro 4.1.16 the installation was easy. But after 
two hours of work I recognised that it did not completely replaced 
4.0.3 so I did it by myself. Recompiled
it and installed 4.1.16 again. But I tried to install liquid war again. 
So I do ./configure and make package_macosx_tgz but it failed with:
gfxmode.c: In function `try_one_mode':
gfxmode.c:169: error: `GFX_MODE_TYPE_FULLSCREEN' undeclared (first use 
in this function)
gfxmode.c:169: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gfxmode.c:169: error: for each function it appears in.)
gfxmode.c:171: error: `GFX_MODE_TYPE_WINDOWED' undeclared (first use in 
this function)
So I use google but there was no result for GFX_MODE_TYPE_FULLSCREEN, 
so I looked into gfxmode.c but I do not really have an Idea what do. So 
I hope you can help me.
I started to write a howto but I wasn't able to complete it, because I 
wasn't able to get it work by myself:
