if (`uname` == "Darwin") then
    setenv EDGE_SETTINGS_FILE edge_settings.cfg
    ./bin_${VR_HOST_CPU}/doug -double -mode standalone -config cev.cfg -quiet $*
else
    ./bin_${VR_HOST_CPU}/doug -double -mode standalone -config cev.cfg -DEDGE_SETTINGS_FILE="edge_settings.cfg" -quiet $*
endif

frankie October 06, 2010, at 10:07 AM: To be more clear here, the real issue is that, as you can see above, the mac version does not support the "-D" command line option. Any defines here need to be moved into your DEFINES block in your user.cfg, with the exception of the "EDGE_SETTINGS_FILE" variable… since it must be known further ahead of time, do a setenv in your startup script to define that particular one, as shown above. I'm posting this because there were some users who were passing other defines besides "EDGE_SETTINGS_FILE" on the command line and it was still failing. Make sure they also get removed from your mac command line and get moved into your user.cfg! — FG
