<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">I'm in the process of compiling and installing Eric4 and dependencies on OS X 10.4.9.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The only problem is that there seems to be no install logic for the project on OSX. I also seem to be unable to get qmake to work in "unix" mode and "makefile" mode - both of which should work fine AFAIK on OS X.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Given that none of the "smart" tools seem to work, I simply went by hand and copied the files to places where the system tools would find them in /usr/local.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>specifically, I copied .../Qt4/build/Release/libqscintilla.dylib to /usr/local/lib</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>(note you will only have this is you built the non-default "Release" target)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>And then cp -r'd .../Qt4/Qsci to /usr/local/include</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Then, when I built PyScintilla, I simply gave '-n /usr/local/include' and '-o /usr/local/lib' arguments. The default place for them is /usr/include and /Library/Frameworks. I suppose you could even leave them where they were. The python items end up in your proper site-packages dir...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>This kind of information would also give developers on OS X pretty much everything they need - why not put this in your documentation and expand your potential customer base?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Another gotcha is that the project builds by default in "debug" mode on OS X. You probably don't want that if you're simply using the thing.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Of course, having done that, we're not out of the water yet...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>First, eric4's script by default wants pythonw to live in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/pythonw</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>But, by default, that doesn't exist. I created a link to my /usr/local/bin/pythonw2.4</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Then, the system complains of not finding translation files:</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Warning: translation file 'qt_en_US'could not be loaded.</DIV><DIV>Using default.</DIV><DIV>Warning: translation file 'eric4_en_US'could not be loaded.</DIV><DIV>Using default.</DIV><DIV>Warning: translation file 'qscintilla_en_US'could not be loaded.</DIV><DIV>Using default.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I assume these are unecessary.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>And, (fingers crossed) everything seems to be working!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Cheers,<BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Dav Clark</DIV><DIV>917-544-8408</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
