I just had to reply to this thread because I too was struggling a long time ago on getting Crossfire on Mac. I tried using Winebottler and Crossover but they didn't support Crossfire. Bootcamp was my next option, but I found it annoying having to restart your computer just to select between OS X and Windows. Super Crossfire is a modern twist classic arcade shooter. Using a unique switching mechanic, players can warp their ship from the bottom to the top of the screen at anytime. This ingenious addition along with intense gameplay, a massive upgrade system and a huge variety of enemies makes Super Crossfire stand out as a real evolution of the genre. Crossfire is a Shooter where you can't shoot! Instead, you'll have to run straight into the enemy's crossfire in an attempt to get them to shoot themselves! I know this sounds difficult but don't worry, you can slow down time! Use that to your advantage while in their crossfire.

Note: The binary files where compiled on OS X 10.5, they are untested on earlier or on past versions.

Compile from Source Code

Compiling from source code requires some additional files to be downloaded.

  1. You should have Subversion installed by default.
    1. You can check with this command in a Terminal.app window: svn –help
  2. Run Subversion to download the latest snapshot of the client source code.
    1. For trunk: svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/client/trunk client.svn
    2. For branch/1.x: svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/client/branches/1.x client.svn
    3. For 1.10.0 release: svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/client/tags/1.10/ client.svn
  3. You will need libpng to compile the client
    1. Download http://ethan.tira-thompson.com/Mac OS X Ports_files/libpng (universal).dmg the libpng individual installer
    2. Double click the .dmg package and follow the on screen prompts and instructions
  4. Change directories to client.svn and run the following commands:
    1. ./configure
      1. Just about all of your errors from ./configure can be fixed by installing the fink packages for them, not including the libpng.

GTKv1 Client

    1. Make sure you are in the correct directory by using the pwd command - it should be: /Users/<user_name>/client.svn/gtk
