Mac OS X test

Hi,

I am requesting good will to test a Mac OSX bundle for DrGeo.

It is here[1], it is not signed, so you will have OS X warning, and
likely should be dropped on the Applications folder.

Thanks

Hilaire

Re: Mac OS X test [ smaller image ]

The application itself remains 'broken', but if I download a 32-bit Pharo 7 VM, I can open the image inside it and open a sketch:

Note that on macOS and Linux, 64 bit is the default and 32 bit is the exception that will be harder to get running.

Re: Mac OS X test [ smaller image ]

Is there a way to know why it is broken, for example running it from the
CLI?

Can you give me the URL of the downloaded VM?

Thanks

Re: Mac OS X test [ smaller image ]

Sadly, this is of little use as it will fetch a linux vm.

Can you copy it somewhere so I can fetch the archive?

The Linux VM at the pharo.org/download was not functionning, so may be
the same with mac vm.

I know. Last summer I give a try to the 64bits version, but there was a
show stopper issue, the PNG image decoder on 64bits architecture.

Yes, it depends on the platform on which you execute that expression.

It resolved to

Re: Mac OS X test [ smaller image ]

Thanks Sven,

It looks like the same VM I used with the previous bundle. md5sum on the
Pharo executable produced the same check sum.

Still I packaged one with this bundle, this time I preserved the plugin
lib symlink in the zip archive, if you want to give a try.

Re: Mac OS X test [ smaller image ]

I think I am running out of option.

Since about 10 years, it is the first time I am stuck with Pharo to
deliver an end user application on Mac.

Any idea?

Can some try on a mac to run as this for any meaningful feedback?

cd ./DrGeo.app

./Contents/MacOS/Pharo ./Contents/Resources/drgeo.image

Thanks

Hilaire

This is not my area of expertise, but you are trying to do this without having a Mac and/or basic Mac developer experience ?

Those .app bundles are really harder than they look. This is very much related to how macOS works (including virus and malware protection).

Can't you look at the PharoLauncher for how this should be done ? Maybe the developers working on PharoLauncher can help ?

Pharo Launcher mac packaging is available here: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/tree/development/mac
You can skip the signing part if not needed.
We reuse the app built for opensmalltalk vm but I fear it is a bit outdated. I tried to update the nib file but this format is not used anymore. It is now replaced by xib file (and I do not know much on OS X UI dev). If you do not need to customize it too much, it should be ok.

HTP,
Christophe

Christophe, I am going to send you a private email about this.

Both Info.plist and NSPrincipalClass are present.

Are you sure about the path to the drgeo.image, the '../' should be './' ?

> This is not my area of expertise, but you are trying to do this without having a Mac and/or basic Mac developer experience ?

Indeed, no Mac no Mac devel experience. This was has this since many year.

In my school our 24 seats computer room is mac OS, so I kind have no
choice to get it functioning on mac

Yes, I have no idea. The last time I worked with bundled application was
with RiscOS, it was transparent.

Yes good idea, I extracted the dmg archive on linux, its Info.plist is
minimal. WIll take a look.

Thanks,

Not sure about what is the nib and xib you are mentioning. Will check on
that later.

I noted the Info.plist is a lot shorter in PharoLauncher compared to the
Mac OSX VM zip archive one, though.

Any reason?

Basically, it is where you design the UI part of the app. In our case, it is just the menu of the main app.

I removed useless entries like associations files type / icons

Also, what I pointed is to build a dmg used to deliver the app.
Building of the application is done through a shell script: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-build-scripts/blob/master/build-platform.sh

you could use it to package your image / vm / ressources in an app bundle.

Re: Mac OS X test [ smaller image ]

Hi,

I have a build script too to build the drgeo bundle from scratch [1], I
will take a look yours to add up.

In the mean time I built a new mac os bundle with your info.plist.

I tested it on a mac, but without privilege to move it to the
Applications location. After downloading it to the Desktop folder, I can
experiment:

1. Double click on the app does not work
2. From a shell, "Desktop/DrGeo.app/Contents/MacOS/Pharo" starts DrGeo
fine, without error, locale is correctly detected
3. Double click again on the app starts it this time, but I got a funny
error message: "error with stdout does not exist, force recursive
file creation, filename "stdout"

Can someone with privilege to the Application location, test this new
DrGeo bundle[2]? THANKS !

I own you free meals for the help.

Re: Mac OS X test [ smaller image ]

Thanks for the feedback Cedrick. We have all different experiences, I
guess depending on the OS X version.

Did you try to drag the DrGeo.app in the Application location and start
it from there?
