[MacPorts] #21837: pallet needs a new build for 10.6 compatibility
#21837: pallet needs a new build for 10.6 compatibility ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: blb@… | Owner: juanger@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: contrib | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- For the DMG-distributed Pallet, it should really include a 64bit built as well, since otherwise anyone on 10.6 who build from source or used selfupdate will probably only have a 64bit MacPorts infrastructure. A quick test here (on 10.6.1) required that the framework be set to use the 10.5 SDK and build "Standard" (32/64-bit Universal), and the same for the Pallet app itself. I haven't had a chance to test on 10.5 yet, however. Also, do we want to copy the MPGUI stuff someplace in [browser:contrib contrib] and out of the GSoC branch? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21837> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I've already started looking at it in Xcode, and found a couple build settings that need changing to make it build. I just got it to the point where I run into the same error that crashes the official MacPorts build, so hopefully I can start making actual progress soon. However, I've never done any work on MacPorts before. Could anyone suggest documentation on how to get changes into the MacPorts system, or people to ask about that? Also, does anyone have experience working with the Pallet/MacPorts.framework codebase? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21837#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I have some experience with it. Juan - juanger@macports.org also worked with it for his Google Summer of Code project so he is familiar with it (especially the Pallet source code). Is there a fix out yet for the Macports official build error? Perhaps you could apply the patch for that error locally and see if the build is successful. Feel free to ping myself or Juan with questions. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21837#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Therefore, it seems like the bug is in fact in MacPorts.framework, which defines MPIndex. I got the source code for that and was able to build it fine, but I haven't been able to get it to run its unit tests. I suspect there is some simple settings error that I just can't find, but that if I could fix it, I could start unit testing. Do either of you have any ideas on how to get the unit tests to run? (I'm running OS 10.6, and I just did a subversion checkout of the framework this afternoon, so I should have the latest code.) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21837#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

It didn't seem to be able to install gtk2, but that's probably a backend problem. What needs to be done then to make this the official MacPorts port? It seems to me it would be much better if Pallet was installed like the rest of MacPorts software (plus it would then be upgraded like other software if that needed doing). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21837#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Juan, could you please post your modified Init.plist file? I'd like to submit this as a patch for the version in the contrib tree, but I'm not sure what changes I would have to make to get the effect you did. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21837#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Same for me but in Lion 64-bit. What the hell is the matter with MacPorts GUI (Pallet)? Let's get it so it does not crash after choosing /Library/Tcl/ -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/21837#comment:13> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

You re-opened a 2-year-old bug and provided no further information, so there's nothing we can do with this. From what I can tell in #30906 this should no longer be a problem. If you still experience a problem, please check the existing open tickets, and if none of them describes the problem you experience, file a new report with all the necessary info. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/21837#comment:16> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
