The app bundle built on Mountain Lion fails to launch on OS X 10.7.4
Lion (I don't have access to a system with Mountain Lion). The crash
report has no backtrace or otherwise useful information. AFAICT the main
binary itself fails to run - probably it is not compatible with older
versions of OS X.

If you are willing to share the sources for the "refreshed version" of
the blueprint [1], I could test local builds (with trunk and 0.48.x)
based on the refreshed packaging scripts on OS 10.7.4 Lion.

[1] there seem to be some minor changes e.g. with regard setting the
python env via 'Contents/Resources/environment.sh', though the required
python module lxml (for Python 2.7) is not included in the app bundle -
extensions are likely still not working unless Apple decided to include
the lxml module with the system Python 2.7 on Mountain Lion (like they
did with numpy on Snow Leopard).

WRT python lxml module:

For the current packaging scripts in trunk, I maintain a personal (junk)
branch on launchpad.net with some bug fixes (and additional refactoring):

<https://code.launchpad.net/~suv-lp/+junk/inkscape-osxapp-stacked>
(Note: this is WIP, none of the changes has been reviewed)

The branch includes a script to compile lxml with the system python,
ready to be included in the app bundle (no README notes available yet).
I don't know if those modules would work with packages creates with John
Ralls' "gtk-mac-bundler" though.

In 'packaging/macosx/osx-app.sh' of this branch, there is also a link to
the old python packages (supporting Python 2.4 - 2.6 (32bit))
temporarily made available via Dropbox:
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~suv-lp/+junk/inkscape-osxapp-stacked/view/head:/packaging/macosx/osx-app.sh#L138>

Thanks ~suv,

I haven't gotten to the python issue. From what I understand, 
gtk-mac-bundler should leave the system python unaffected. I should give 
this a try first, before going the full python inclusion way. By the 
way, do you know which of the dependencies are needed beside python 
itself? lxml? numpy?

I have started revamping my old OSX blueprint. You can start having a 
look. The gtk-mac-integration is not quite there yet.

lxml is required for all python-based extensions which import inkex.py.
Some additionally import numpy:

- Save as "Desktop Cutting Plotter (AutoCAD DXF R14) (*.dxf)"
  (dxf_outlines.py)
- Extensions > Gcodetools
  (gcodetools.py)
- Extensions > Modify Path > Perspective
  (perspective.py)
- Extensions > Modify Path > Pixelsnap
  (pixelsnap.py)
- Extensions > Render > 3D Polyhedron
  (polyhedron_3d.py)

When using the system python for extensions, the numpy module is only
required to be included in the app bundle for Leopard and older versions
of Mac OS X (AFAIK Apple includes numpy with the system python since
Snow Leopard).

I'm not aware of other imported modules which are not part of a standard
Python installation.

Thx - already had checked out your branch, will test during the weekend
(if time permits).

You have seen the patch Roy Liu had been working on (for the stable
branch) to link to the 'gtk-mac-integration' module instead of including
a copy of the mac-menu-integration files in Inkscape's sources as before?

Basic features had been functional IIRC, with the last version he
provided (unfortunately, Roy seems to have moved on to Sketch, and won't
continue working on that patch).

See comment #13 and below in
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/721448>


~suv

Hi ~suv,

I added lxml support to Inkscape.bundle (to be used by gtk-mac-bundler). 
You must have it compiled in MacPorts beforehand.
Pushed to the branch: 
https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/dev-osx

Let me know if you find anything wrong.

Will be looking into the gtk-mac-integration next, if I have time.

1) Backwards-compatible osx application bundles via MacPorts:
Darktable developers are also working on new packaging scripts for
macosx, and have the details in the build instructions on how to
configure MacPorts to create binaries which are backwards-compatible
with older versions of Mac OS X (via 'macosx_deployment_target' in
macports.conf):
<https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/master/packaging/macosx/BUILD.txt>

2) Using gtk-mac-bundler instead of the old osx-app.sh script:
Do you configure gtk2 in MacPorts with '--enable-quartz-relocation' (as
is done in the GTK-OSX modulesets, and also the new packaging scripts
for GIMP 2.8.2 (jhbuild-based) and those for darktable
(MacPorts-based)), or rely on the default Portfile variants from MacPorts?
Note: enabling this for gtk2 in MacPorts may cause difficulties when
using the same MacPorts tree for regular builds (i.e. not bundled) of
gtk+-based applications as well.


3) Support for extended input devices in GTK+/Quartz:
You might also be interested in testing the upstream patch adding
support for pressure-sensitive devices to the Quartz backend of gtk2
(further review and commit is still pending, though chances are good
that the GIMP team will push for getting it into the 2.24 branch (they
plan to provide an official Quartz-based osx app package of GIMP 2.8.2):
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663990>
(patch attached to comment #12)

P.S.: I will add comments about any results of locally built packages to

Please consider adding numpy as well.

Are you asking for numpy for Leopard (10.5) and older? Or do we want the 
newest version anyway, whatever the OS version?

Regardless of OS... :D

Hey guys!

I haven't followed the development of Inkscape since a while. I still use it every now and then and now came across Sozi, which seems a great tool, worth checking out. Well unfortunately Sozi needs lxml support and I'm on Mountain Lion :-(

Can anybody point me to a how-to for making this work? I'm quite lost with trying googling for it.

Thanks!

David

Hey!

Seems that with http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12478 I found the right place. Now I'm faced with another error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sozi.py", line 30, in <module>

  File "/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/extensions/sozi/document.py", line 81

Maybe it really is a Sozi issue? Any clues? Anybody working with Sozi on Mountain Lion?

Thanks!

It seems that the latest release of Sozi now requires Python 2.7, which
makes it not compatible with the current available Inkscape package for
OS X (which supports Python <= 2.6 for extensions):
 « Requires Python 2.7.»
<http://sozi.baierouge.fr/wiki/en:changelog#version_1209_current>

Maybe try with an older release… and follow the instructions (aka ugly
but working hack) posted on the Sozi web site:
<http://sozi.baierouge.fr/wiki/en:install#installation_on_macos_x>
-> <http://www.lifl.fr/~riquetd/installing-sozi-on-mac-os-x.html>

Or - alternatively, since you will require to install MacPorts anyway to
get pygtk - install Inkscape itself with Macports (it will use Python
2.7 by default).

Hey ~suv!

Thanks for your answer! I'll go through the instructions and then see, whether I prefer installing Inkscape via MacPorts or using that complicated way…

Take care!

David

Oops - please ignore my prior comments (.

Apparently you didn't read the instructions on the Sozi web site about
installing on Mac OS X at all: if you would have, your bundled app would
be now using python 2.7 from MacPorts anyway.

So my recommendation would be:

1) undo the changes your did earlier to get Inkscape's own extensions
working on Mountain Lion
2) read the detailed instructions at
<http://www.lifl.fr/~riquetd/installing-sozi-on-mac-os-x.html>
3) use Sozi and be happy.

Hey ~suv!

Sorry for the confusion. Actually I had seen this. But was not inclined to install MacPorts + Xcode, because of my small HDD, just to get lxml. And obviously I didn't need to, but then ran into other problems.
Ill try this again and report back.

Thanks!

David

If you want to use Sozi, you need MacPorts first and foremost to install
PyGtk, because the extension is based on a custom dialog instead of
using the built-in extension dialog from Inkscape (which has fewer
options than a custom external dialog).

PyGtk is not bundled with Inkscape, and in order to install it, MacPorts
will first have to install GTK+ itself (which will pull in lots of
dependencies).

Hey ~suv!

I surely have at least 5 GB of extra files for this, it seems. Ran into an issue with both having a link called "python" at  /opt/local/bin/python but after changing this, it works! As you can tell the whole process took 2 hours, plain installation…

But hey, now I have a new toy :)

Thanks!
