get the source creating the repo (first time only): git clone git://github.com/spring/spring.git spring_src update to latest sources: cd spring_src && git fetch && git checkout 103.0.1-1328-g882485f build by following the build from source guide, or in short: cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" . && make spring && sudo make install-spring

Mac OS X

App Bundle (tested on 10.6 Snow-Leopard only) In case the above fails, check out alternative ways.

Lobby

Make sure your lobby client is configured to use the correct spring binary & unitsync! On Linux, this will usually be /usr/local/bin/spring & /usr/local/lib/libunitsync.so.

Use one of the test lobby servers (recommended):

• springlobby.info:8200
• tizbac.dyndns.org:8200

Or alternatively, configure your lobby so it does not insist using the release version of the engine:

• SpringLobby: set DisableVersionCheck=1 in springlobby.conf
• TASClient: press CTRL+SHIFT+F6 and enable "Ignore server version incompatibility"

Bugs and issues

Report in the Help and Bugs forum or on Mantis. Remember to upload infolog.txt if you crash!
