[openvrml-develop] Problems with OpenVRML port for MacPorts

[Raphael S. <ra...@ir...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an OpenVRML port for Macports and have  
encountered some problems.

The port (see <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16981>) compiles on Mac  
OS X 10.5.5, but not on 10.4.11 (which I don't have). As you can see  
from the MacPorts ticket, there are some problems with the detection  
of the GLU tesselator callback function type in the configure script.  
The config.log on 10.5.5 shows the same error as on 10.4.11, but here  
it has no negative effect because 10.5 does not have a varargs argument.

Another problem is openvrml-player (OpenVRML 0.17.10 on Mac OS X  
10.5.5). When I start openvrml-player, I sometimes get the following  
error:

** (openvrml-player:1316): CRITICAL **: Browser creation failed: Did  
not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application  
did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the  
reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

When I try to load a VRML file I get

ERROR:openvrml-player/curlbrowserhost.cpp:345:void  
openvrml_player_curl_browser_host_load_url 
(OpenvrmlPlayerCurlBrowserHost*, const char*): assertion failed: (host- 
 >priv->browser)

and the player terminates. I have to note that this is with an LDAP  
user with an NFS mounted home directory. Local users don't have this  
problem.

Does anybody have an idea what's going wrong here?

Regards,
	Raphael
