[gtk+osx] GTK and nessus?

[Hermann S. <in...@ze...>]

hi

just installed gtk-osx-0.7-binary and tried to compile the devel nessus 
2.1. It works (no errors) but starting the client then doesn't really 
work:

/usr/local/bin/nessus

I then see the client window (seems to be complete) but cannot select 
the window. It is either frozen or something else isn't working as it 
should.. any hints? ideas?

the process I see:

It sounds like the classic command line problem. Command line programmes 
do not interact with OSX GUI workings, hopefully someone will fill in 
the proper detail here.

What you need to do is to wrap the program in an app bundle, this
will allow it to operate through OSX application launcher and
allow you to interact with its GUI.

There is a private, undocumented function called 
CPSEnableForegroundOperation() that SDL uses to enable this 
functionality. The relevant file in SDL is:

http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/SDL12/src/main/macosx/SDLMain.m?rev=1.11&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

In particular, the latest changes to that file are relevant:

http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/SDL12/src/main/macosx/SDLMain.m.diff?r1=1.10&r2=1.11

I have myself adapted these changes for MPlayer; it works quite well.

Is there a howto somewhere? My knowledge of programming stopped with 
6502 assembler and USDC PASCAL...

There is some preliminary documentation on how to build a .app bundle on=20
our wiki.
http://cinepaint.bigasterisk.com/BuildingGTKApplications

Another alternative to moving to the .app structure, or the undocumented=20
function calls, is to create a "dummy" resource fork for your=20
executables and plugins, once they've been built and installed.  This is=20
similar to what the FLTK project has done (http://www.fltk.org).

1) Create or find a simple .r file, (fltk has a good generic one for=20
it's mac projects, [it's just a text file])
Here's the contents of the fltk mac.r file:


data 'MBAR' (128) {
    $"0001 0080"                                          /* ...=C3=84 */
};

data 'MENU' (128, "Apple") {
    $"0080 0000 0000 0000 0000 FFFF FFFB 0114"            /*=20
.=C3=84........=CB=87=CB=87=CB=87=CB=9A.. */
    $"0A41 626F 7574 2046 4C54 4B00 0000 0001"            /* =C2=ACAbout=20
FLTK..... */
    $"2D00 0000 0000"                                     /* -..... */
};

data 'carb' (0) {
};


2) run Rez on all the executable binaries that use UI (this can include=20
plugins)
/Developer/Tools/Rez -t APPL -o YOUR_BINARY mac.r
