[Pharo 2.0] Mac installer package problems

Hi,

I've just downloaded the mac installation package for Pharo 2.0 from http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/32303/Pharo2.0-mac.zip .

Then I just double clicked it to get it unzipped on Mountain Lion. The resulting .app cannot be started with a double click. ML says it is broken and should be moved to Trash. Opening it with Cmd-Click or a right click also doesn't work.

I can start it with the shell script inside the package, so this must be something related to OS X.

Has anybody seen this? Any known workaround?

Yes, there is a bug report:

10062 OneClickImage not working under OSX with case-sensitive FileSystem

it says:

The culprit is in the Info.plist

1:
2:
    <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
    <string>pharo</string>

but the binary name should be uppercase <string>Pharo</string>


and yes, this should have already been fixed but was not…

Marcus,

thanks for your fast response and for not answering with a RTFM - respectively the bug tracker ;-).
I am glad the thing is on the table and going to be fixed.

Unfortunately, I changed line 351 of the info.plist from  <string>pharo</string>  to  <string>Pharo</string>  and the problem persists... So there must be something more to do.

I have chafed the templates in the git repository, so the next build
will pick up that change.

Hmm… so how can we find out what? For me they work fine.

Hi Marcus,

I just tried disabling restrictions for starting Applications (Don't know the correct english name) in the security preferences to "No Restrictions" , and now I can start the Pharo.app by double clicking.

I previously had "Mac App Store and verified developers", and had the message pop up.

So the change to info.plist worked.

Funnily, now after I switched back to the old security setting, opening with Right Click as well as a double click works like a charm... I guess I will not be able to replay that situation ever again, unless I reinstall ML. Which I won't  ;-)

So again: thanks a lot. My issue could be solved. Not sure it will be solved for everybody, though. Let's see if others report the same problem...

Ah, yes, we do not compile the binaries as signed applications…
We should do that.
