#48152: wxMaxima will not launch unless explicitly called with "open" command --------------------------+------------------ Reporter: m74z00219@… | Owner: mk@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: wxMaxima | --------------------------+------------------ Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:8 mojca@…]:
I tried launching {{{ /Applications/MacPorts/wxMaxima.app/Contents/MacOS/wxmaxima }}} but it throws errors and crashes because it cannot find the necessary resources (which are there if you run `"open -a wxMaxima"`).
Right, you're not usually supposed to launch OS X applications by running their executable directly; you're supposed to let the OS launch them, e.g. by double-clicking them in the Finder, single-clicking them in the Dock or Launchpad, or by using the `open` command. I didn't know if wxmaxima might be an exception to that, or if perhaps there was a command line wxmaxima that was supposed to be installed somewhere. It would help to know exactly what problem the reporter is seeing. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48152#comment:9> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
