Re: [Zim-wiki] Contributing to solve the problems of installing zim on MacOS

[Agustin Lobo]

Jaap,
I understand. Unfortunately I do not qualify for taking the lead. I
could help with testing
and even with packaging if someone instructs me on what to do and how
to do it, but we still need
a volunteer with some knowledge and experience on the MacOS. I'm just
a user, can compile etc, but just
follwing directions.
May be we should put a prominent notice on the web page with the
profiles of the required volunteers
(MacOS packaging, Android version etc)

[Jaap Karssenberg]

Hi Agustin,

Afraid that even if I had access to a Mac I simply do not have the time to
work on more topics then I'm doing now. Instead I trying very hard to limit
myself to making the core functionality.

Getting a more stable install for Mac would require a volunteer who has
some experience with Mac to create and maintain the install. By comparison
the windows installer is done by Brendan, and linux packages are also
maintained by different volunteers, so none of the install packages are
made directly by me.

Same discussion as with the whole idea of an android app, zim needs more
volunteers rather than more money.

Regards,

Jaap

I do work with zim on mac (although not as my main machine, but use it
a lot), I posted about the installation long ago.
No major problems, but some inconveniences.

[Murat Güven]

Hi Agus, 

a colleague of mine tried to run Zim on a Mac and gave up. He is now running 
Zim on an Ubuntu installation on Virtualbox. 
Maybe you want to give this a try?

Is this an option? Personally I would be ready to contribute as of now.

[Zim-wiki] Contributing to solve the problems of installing zim on MacOS

[Agustin Lobo]

Installing and using zim on MacOS has some minor problems
that, having a Mac among the machines in which I use zim through dropbox,
I would like to see solved. In particular, I would like to have a
simple and smooth installation.
I'm often backwards on my zim version on Mac just because I worry of
having probelms
and not getting the newer version to work.
I've sometimes read that the main reason for these minor problems is that Jaap
has no access to a Mac machine to just tune the zim installation for MacOS.
If this is really the problem, I propose that Mac users contribute to pay for
renting a Mac for Jaap (or for whoever could do the job) whenever it
were needed.
Is this an option? Personally I would be ready to contribute as of now.

Regards,
Agus
