windows 10 requirement?

[bart9h]

Why require Windows 10, if the project is written in Python?

[DanielJoyce]

Probably has some hardcoded path name assumptions.

Sadly, won't work on mac os. Requires some opengl extensions mac doesn't provide =(

[bmarien]

What about linux?

@bart9h, @DanielJoyce, @bmarien

The problem was the hardcoded backslashes in the paths. I have replaced them to os.sep. I have sent a pull request with these changes. If you want to try it, you can use my fork too. Still there are problems for me but I am sure those are not because of my system (blackPanther OS Linux). I think the authors have some fixes for this just they did not uploaded them here yet.

@hudbrog
Unfortunately I don't know mac but which are those opengl extensions? Could you show us error messages?

@hmikihth there are a few issues with using it on MacOS. First one, is that by default mac provides a 'legacy' profile that only supports opengl2. You can enable 'core profile' that supports more modern versions of opengl. After that - a small issue with how vertex arrays are initialized which can be fixed easily enough as well, here are the diffs:

And after all that you will get:
extension \'GL_ARB_explicit_uniform_location\' is not supported
when building shaders. Fixing that would require a more thorough refactoring, but I don't have opengl skills to do one.

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue. We are currently working on making it run on Mac, too.
If anybody got some solutions, please share.

Hi I would love Tsugite to run on mac OS!
