 Well, for me and most of my students, yes, but some of my students use
 Windows...

Ok, there's a new installation bundle for Windows at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rkwardextras/files/Windows/Development/updated_bundle/RKWard-0.6.1z_R3.1.1_KDE4.10.2.exe/download
 
. I have not yet tested it on any Windows machine besides my virtual 
development environment, though.

2014-09-18 Thread Aaron Batty

 i compiled and packaged today's development version of RKWard, but i
 couldn't
 test it myself, as i only have ssh access. you can download and test it
 yourself:

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/rkwardextras/files/MacOSX/development/RKWard-devel-binary-0.6.1-svn4829_KDE-4.12.5_needs_CRAN_R-3.1.1.dmg/download

 let me know if something's broken!



Yup, it's broken.

I installed R 3.1.1 for OSX 10.9+, then installed the above. An error comes
up immediately:

The KDE installation could not be found (kde4-config). When moving /
 copying RKWard, make sure to copy the whole application folder, or create a
 shorcut / link, instead.

Ok, to work around that particular error (until we figure out, how to fix it 
correctly), add the folder where the KDE binaries are to your PATH. Not sure, 
where that is going to be in the bundle image.

Meik, you're much more familiar with the bundle installation than I am. Is the 
relative path between rkward and kde4-config (and the other KDE binaries) 
always the same? In that case, we can simply compile it in. Otherwise, is 
there a way to set the path or working directory for apps?

hi,

i suspect this is due to the new startup wrapper? if i remember correctly, the 
startup script set some paths for the executable which might now be missing.

 Meik, you're much more familiar with the bundle installation than I am. Is
 the  relative path between rkward and kde4-config (and the other KDE
 binaries) always the same?

hm, i doubt that. it depends on the standard macports root directory, which 
usually is below /opt, but for the bundle it is below /opt/rkward, so the 
bundle doesn't interfere with a local macports installation. this also affects 
the relative path from the app directory of RKWard. however, the path is known 
during build time, and previous to the new binary wrapper it was dynamically 
added to the startup script. so i suspect it could dynamically be added to the 
wrapper code as well, and then be compiled in.

 Otherwise, is there a way to set the path or working directory for apps?

it's possible to set paths in a *.plist file, but i'm not sure which one. we 
use that method already to set the locale variable, but it's neither automated 
(because we'd have to parse a possibly pre-existing .plist file first) nor 
neccessary, just described how to do manually in the wiki.

i'd vote for compiling it in; the path variable was statically set in the 
startup script before, and i doubt that mac users move around binary 
directories on their systems very often ;-)

you're talking about the Mac version, right? As far as I am aware, we simply 
need to run Meik's magic script to update the bundle, but will I ever remember 
how to use it?

Meik, do you have time for that, or do you want me to read up on this (I know, 
you've explained it to me at least once, so all I'd need to do is dig up the 
mail)? For Windows, I guess I can prepare a single installer next week 
(which you can run over a bundled installation in order to update it).

We are also getting close to the point where we can roll the next official 
release. I just want to take care of one more loose end, then we can make a 
schedule for testing and release.

Regards
Thomas

it presents a usage message if called without arguments ;-) i do that with 
most of my scripts, as i tend to forget their specifics myself...

 Meik, do you have time for that, or do you want me to read up on this

well, i'm on vacation and didn't try VNC in a while. i'll try the build over 
ssh and can test it tomorrow, will be at the office that day.

for something to be released, i always purge the whole macports installation 
and let the script build it all from scratch -- that takes a while.
