#40388: codeblocks: create an app bundle also for wxgtk-based installation -------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: afb@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: codeblocks | -------------------------+---------------------- Changes (by mojca@…): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: wontfix => Comment: I don't understand the response. I don't know how GTK works under linux, but I'm not talking about {{{.desktop}}} applications. I'm not talking about non-X11 GTK either. One can easily create an app bundle from an X11 application. A typical example is Gimp (excluding the recent quartz-based GTK). Gimp comes as Gimp.app, clicking it launches X11 in the background and starts the application just fine. I know because I experimented with a bunch of other wxWidgets dependencies and I created app bundles for some even if they didn't support wxWidgets 2.9. If you want to see a simple example you can do a tiny modification to the xCHM port to link against wxgtk-2.8 instead of wxWidgets-2.9 and you'll see. I would have done it myself already, but the app making process for Code::Blocks seemed relatively complicated and I had to be done with some 40 ports, so I left it alone for a while as it didn't seem urgent. If you don't want to check it out yourself, you can re-assign this particular ticket to me and I'll take a look once I'm over the pressing deadline. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40388#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Try `lisaem` for an example of an GTK-based (wxgtk-2.8) app. (I currently cannot try it without reinstalling it due to some problems with `cairo +/- quartz` and there are a lot of problems with that app in general, but just as an example.) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40388#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

#40388: codeblocks: create an app bundle also for wxgtk-based installation --------------------------+----------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: codeblocks | --------------------------+----------------- Comment (by mojca@…): How do you make a {{{.desktop}}} file and how do you launch such an application? I don't understand what is wrong with wxGTK-based app bundle (other than the ugliness of GTK on Mac) or how/why it would be so much inferior to wxMac-based one. It could be used in exactly the same way as the native one, by clicking on the icon to launch it. Of course one can always run the binary from terminal with {{{ ${prefix}/bin/codeblocks }}} but an app also seems nice. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40388#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
