[Lprof-devel] Lprof QT4 Mac build

[Mark M. <mar...@po...>]

Hello Hal,

I had to make some changes to the SCons scripts to build Lprof - I'll  
detail that on another mail (I'll not check in the changes as I'm not  
100% sure the won't break the other plattforms).

When I start Lprof here's what I get:

1) Dialog box with no title: "This means that something is wrong with  
the Lprof installation....."
2) Lprof quits

Console:
20.01.08 20:49:50 [0x0-0x245245].lprof[49786] Something wrong with  
call to coms -> get_paths(coms)
20.01.08 20:49:52 [0x0-0x245245].lprof[49786] lcms: Error #12288;  
Named color needs TYPE_NAMED_COLOR_INDEX
20.01.08 20:49:52 com.apple.launchd[102] ([0x0-0x245245].lprof[49786])  
Exited with exit code: 1

Then Lprof quits (see console 3rd line).


I then copied the ICC files Rishi sent me to my the system profiles  
folder and interestingly then Lprof starts, but gives the following  
mesages:

1) same dialog as before... "This means that something is wrong with  
the Lprof installation....."
2) Dialog box: "ICC profile ...velvia100... is not readable. Please  
fix the file permissions...."			<= this is the new code... working.
3) Dialog box: "The path to the help files is not correct. Please  
contact... The current help path is set to: /Applications/help/en" 	<=  
this is a new bug
4) Lprof starts and seems to be working... have installed a Ref. file  
and created a Scanner profile.

Console fo the above:
20.01.08 20:52:37 com.apple.launchd[102] ([0x0-0x246246].lprof[49787])  
Exited with exit code: 1
20.01.08 20:55:10 [0x0-0x248248].lprof[49793] Something wrong with  
call to coms -> get_paths(coms)
20.01.08 20:56:30 [0x0-0x248248].lprof[49793] setupHelp - execpath = / 
Applications/lprof.app/Contents/MacOS


Now, what is weird: before I copied Rishis profiles to the profiles  
folder Lprof did not open. The profiles I copied are
velvia100_exp2.2.icc this only has root access, so Lprof is correctly  
showing the dialog box about permissions.
SPR200 Super Fine Paper (Japan).icm this has access by all users.

After some more exprerimentation I found out that the key to being  
able to start Lprof is the SPR200 Super Fine Paper (Japan).icm  
profile. Once I remove it from the profiles folder Lprof won't  
start...???
