#3 OS X support?

[John R. Cary]

Any chance of supporting OS X? Not much
work. I did the following in
the installation bin directory:

mkdir -p xpe.app/Contents
mkdir -p xpe.app/Contents/MacOS
mkdir -p xpe.app/Contents/Resources
echo -n "APPL????" >xpe.app/Contents/PkgInfo
ln -f xpe xpe.app/Contents/MacOS/xpe

then copied wxmac.icns from that project
into xpe.app/Contents/Resources,
and created the file,

cat xpe.app/Contents/Info.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="0.9">

I would love to support Mac OS X but as you can imagine, it requires to have a mac ... which I don't have ... So the only chance is to find someone who feels able to compile XPE on mac ... sorry :-(

If you like, I might be able to work up a patch for you.

If you know how to do, you can try to install wxWidgets, make, automake, autoconf and a compiler (gcc ?)

Then download the XPE sources and type following instructions :

cd xpe_source_root_path
mkdir buid && cd build
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -f Makefile.cvs
../configure
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -k
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make install

I have done all of that, so I can make from scratch.

I'll post a patch here in a few days.

there was an error in my previous comment. the real procedure to follow is (make -f Makefile.cvs must be done in the source root path, not in the build directory):

cd xpe_source_root_path
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -f Makefile.cvs
mkdir buid && cd build
../configure
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -k
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make install
