Hi, this is Rob Lancaster. I have been working with the Mac version of KStars. We have been using an older version of craft because we have had problems with the latest version and I would like to correct them so we can use the latest version. We would like to have a fully automated script, since there are quite a few steps required for packaging up KStars and turning it into a dmg afterwards with all of the files and programs it needs. The goal is really to have the user just need to run one command and get a fully deployable dmg. Right now with an older version of craft we have that, but with the newer version, there are several issues. So right now, our script checks out an older version of craft using git. I would like to see if we can fix those issues though so that isn’t necessary.
Our current script is located here: https://github.com/jamiesmith/kstars-on-osx <https://github.com/jamiesmith/kstars-on-osx>. I have been making a number of changes though that will make it work with a newer version of craft, but I don’t want to push those changes until it works. 1. Snore. Craft fails because it is trying to use snore and it is not installed. I tried to build snore but that failed due to a couple of build errors. Is Snore really needed? I was able to edit craftsettings.ini file to comment out Notify = snore. But I was wondering if that is the best thing to do. 2. Next there was a problem with kde/applications/gpgmepp. It caused a build error. Is that really needed? Jasem told me to remove it by editing craftsettings.ini like this. Is that correct? Ignores = gnuwin32/.*;dev-util/.*;binary/.*;kdesupport/kdewin;win32libs/.*;libs/qt5/.*;kde/applications/gpgmepp 3. Now I am having a problem with frameworks/tier3/kwallet. Jasem said he didn’t know what to do about this one. It said "/usr/local/bin/ninja: b'ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.” It was trying to build kwallet. It failed at this point: /usr/local/bin/ninja: b'[18/110]. I can send my terminal log if that helps. Thank you for your help, Rob Lancaster
