Hello!

I'm attempting to follow the instructions at <http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_OSX >.

End result:

Apparent "success" with the steps.  Except then

"... you're finished. Look for the new bundle Hugin.app in usr/ local/Applications/ or in usr/local/bin/."


eh ... I have no /usr/local/Applications directory. There is no Hugin.app in usr/local/bin/.

Comment: How would I know to look in either of those locations? Why am I instructed to look in either of TWO directories? Surely this is specified in some build/make file somewhere. Right? And does that spec offer the option of "either/or??"

Plus, note that /usr is not a visible directory. Why would I want Hugin installed in an normally invisible directory??

. . .

Instead, I find the newest Hugin.app on my computer is at

   /Applications/hugin_build/src/hugin1/hugin/Hugin.app.


When I run that program I receive the error:

    Fatal Error

    xrc directory not found, hugin needs to be properly installed
    Tried Path: /usr/local/share/hugin/xrc/

    OK

No, it is not "OK"

And, hey, could y'all please do whatever necessary to make it possible to SELECT the text in such error messages? Transcribing it from a displayed window is tedious and prone to error.

Also, the error message is not what I would call "helpful." "hugin needs to be properly installed" Oh excuse ME! I am so sorry. It is entirely my fault :(

Sheesh. Now, would you please explain PRECISELY what you don't like, how it might have come to be, and how I can fix it? [And by the way, should not "hugin" be capitalized as "Hugin" ?]


"xrc directory not found" Why not? Why do you care? Where were you looking? Why were you looking THERE? How can I change where you were looking?

The only file I have in /usr/local/share is a directory named "man." Why is Hugin looking *there* for hugin/xrc/ ?? Again, that must be a setting that's defined somewhere, right? Please let us know where that's being specified! And... any guesses why it is wrong in my case?

I DO see an xrc directory at /Applications/hugin_build/src/hugin1/ hugin/xrc. Hmm. Maybe if I somehow can manage to tell Hugin to look *there* instead in /usr/local/share/hugin/xrc/ I might get it to work.

Uh... How can I tell Hugin to do that?? *should* I try to do that, or is the problem elsewhere?


Hey Readers!

Feel free to choose *any* of my several problems/confusions and offer suggestions!


Thanks,

eo
