Don't ask me how, but I managed to wrangle my computer into building 5.2 for Mac. Not sure if I broke anything, but it seems fine.

Copying over the instructions that disoriented wrote in the 5.1.1 thread:

For anyone else testing the Mac build: After downloading the .dmg and copying the app to your hard drive, be sure to perform the following steps before you can run it:

- Copy drod5_0.dat from your release version to the test version. The file is in the DROD.app/Contents/Resources/Data/ directory. Copy it to the same location in the new app package. To open an app's package, right-click the .app and select "Show Package Contents".

- If you are running MacOS 15 Sequoia, you will need to visit your Settings app to give DROD permission to run, since it is not from a signed developer. Apple Menu > System Settings > Privacy and Security > scroll down to the Security section near the bottom. If you've tried to launch the new DROD.app within the past hour, there will be a prompt to allow launching, and you'll need to click Allow and enter your system password to grant permission.

Hyperme and I have been working on this for a few days and we now have a Linux build for 5.2 for other Linux users to test

Included in this zip file is the executable and a newer version of Tom's New Roman. I HIGHLY recommend backing up data if you have an existing 5.1.0 build on Linux.

Even before trying the build: THANK YOU!

> I HIGHLY recommend backing up data if you have an existing 5.1.0 build on Linux.

AFAIK the old version is not able to read game data files modified by the new version, so it is absolutely necessary to back them up before trying the new build.

Still haven't tried actually running it, but I've noticed that the executable depends on quite a lot of dynamic libraries.

Among those the most concerning is libmk4.so (metakit, I suppose), which is unlikely to be found on any generic Linux system.

In comparison, here is ldd's output for the old 5.1.0 binary:

Come to think of it, maybe a cleaner solution to this dll dependency problem would be packaging the program as an RPM or DEB package (ideally, both). That way dependencies could be declared and managed cleanly and explicitly.

Hmm... Ideally we'd want to fix this problem in a way that works on all distros and not just those that can run DEB and RPM packages. I'm not sure how to fix this though.
