My misunderstanding then. I'm not sure I would have the capability to fix every bug to allow it to be run on a mac, given I have extremely limited developing experience.

Because you have a better understanding of the code, would you expect these to truly be easy fixes? - for example, adding those if blocks. If it's not stuff like that, I don't think I am the person to lead the rebuild.

Followed the Video in the readme to set up Intelij, and tried to run faf-client. Here is a majority of my output:

@Brutus5000
Not sure if you had read, but he was referencing this original post on it: https://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16947#p169818 . Don't want to take up too much of your time but if you look at those instructions, do you think this would still work?

@axel12 are you saying just test to see if I can run the client from Intelij? I will start attempting this now and update you on my progress

@tatsu
I'm excited that there has been some traction on an FAF for Mac Discussion. I hadn't played Supreme Commander FA for about 8 years (never played the original, but hopped in for FA and it was amazing) and was so excited to find a community still around it. I'm using PaulTheTalls Porting Kit on my 2017 MacBook Pro and have been running the campaign and normal online with no issues. I really want to get online and involved with FAF

I have downloaded the Java Client. I made sure I had Java 14 installed. Then I ran the command you listed above. I then followed the rest of the instructions (here: https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Setting_Up_FAF_Linux) but making slight adjustments based on my file names.

When I ran my faf-client executable I saw the following:
java.lang.RuntimeException: No toolkit found
at com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.getToolkit(Toolkit.java:272)
at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.startup(PlatformImpl.java:267)
at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.startup(PlatformImpl.java:158)
at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.startToolkit(LauncherImpl.java:658)
at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplication1(LauncherImpl.java:678)
at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.lambda$launchApplication$2(LauncherImpl.java:195)
at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:832)

After this, I started digging into the /usr/lib directory, and I couldn't find any folder named jvm. This leads me to believe that Java 14 wasn't installed correctly. I tried it again and still was not here. Not sure if this would mean I don't even have java downloaded. Feeling pretty stupid rn. Any thoughts?
