Hi, My boss wants to see if the staff client can be run on Mac.
I've read both http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-user:installing_and_runni ng_the_staff_client And http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=mozilla-devel:building_the_staff_cl ient about installing the staff client. I tried two different approaches and ran into problems with both. I have Xulrunner installed on the Mac. First, I tried copying the entire staff_client folder from the server to the Mac. Some of the symlinks wouldn't copy, so I skipped those and copied everything else. Then I tried to run the client by going into the build directory and typing from the Mac's terminal: /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework/xulrunner-bin application.ini As suggested by http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Getting_started_with_XULRunner All I got was: ***Deferring registration of OpenILS data cache ***** Unloading: OpenILS data cache! ****** I tried again, just copying what was in the staff_client/build folder, and got the same result. I tried removing the server folder from within the build folder and still got the same result. When this didn't work, I thought I'd try building the staff client directly on the Mac, but quickly discovered this Mac doesn't know the term "make" or "apt-get." I'm guessing there are things that need installing from the installation disk to get those features...? Or maybe they can be downloaded somehow? Anyway, I'm at a loss, being new to Mac. Am I missing something obvious? Any suggestions what else I might try? Out of curiosity, has anyone out there installed the staff client on a Mac before?
