| Summary | 0002844: Auto-updater is broken on Mac Steam Version | ||||
| Description | For the mac version with steam, the updater does not start up with the following error from the console: 2/16/11 2:34:02 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[87] ([0x0-0x8b98b9].com.bitrock.installbuilder[14513]) posix_spawn("/Users/Charlie/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/ai war fleet command/AIWarAutoUpdater-osx.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh", ...): No such file or directory 2/16/11 2:34:02 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[87] ([0x0- 0x8b98b9].com.bitrock.installbuilder[14513]) Exited with exit code: 1 Looks like some file was missing from the installer. I've deleted local content and have re downloaded from steam and the issue repeats itself. | ||||

Is there a "AIWarAutoUpdater-osx.app" in your "/Users/Charlie/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/ai war fleet command/" directory? If so, are you able to look inside and see if it has a "Contents" subdirectory? And if that has a "MacOS" subdirectory? And if that has a "installbuilder.sh" file? Just trying to figure out which link in the chain broke :) |

There is a file by that name, along with another file just named Installbuilder with no extension |
|

I just download the game from another source (Mediafire off your website) and manually replaced the updater in the Steam version, and it replaced installer works as Intended. Looks like the problem is with the copy that steam has. |

Interesting. Glad you got it working, sorry it took the whole other download to get it. Another person had the same problem and apparently there was an osx-intel or something executable inside the auto-updater app bundle that worked too. It's possible that some file permission or attribute on the .app file or whatever got munged in the handing off to steam, etc. We've had frequent problems with those not staying set right, though not specifically with that distributor. |

I can confirm this issue. The installbuilder.sh file contains a windows newline on the #!/bin/sh line. I dos2unix'ed the file and the updater works as expected. It appears this is a new issue with the 5.0 release for steam and OSX. [Edit: To be clear, the updater is broken on OSX without this fix.] |

Until this is fixed, you can use the information in this thread to get the betas. http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,7657.0.html |

You can redownload the updater itself from here, and see if that helps: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,8283.msg72715.html#msg72715 |

I bought the game for Mac today (from Steam) and had the same problem. The issue seems to be the line endings in installbuilder.sh. Once I converted the MS-DOS style line endings to UNIX style, it ran. |
|
|
I had the exact same issue and came up with the same solution as magnesfox and rphillips It is a very simple fix: just save the installbuilder.sh script with unix style newlines or to put it differently: the installbuilder.sh script uses the wrong NEWLINE bits to mark the end of a line. Presumably because the file was created on a Windows machine. Just save the file with Unix style newlines and everything is fine. It is such an easy fix (just resave the file) and I'll hope that the issue will be fixed very soon. Without the fix, the shellscript does not work. I added my "fixed" file. Again, the only difference to the original one located in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/ai\ war\ fleet\ command/AIWarAutoUpdater-osx.app is, that it was saved in a Unix "compatible" format ("LF" for newlines instead of "CRLF") Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline |
