Hi, Long story short, the new build platform for OSX to test at http://www.b2ck.com/~ced/tryton-4.6.0.dmg
Yesterday, when I built the OSX client for the release 4.6, I made the simple test to launch it and connect to the demo server. But it did not launch, indeed it just bounced few times on the dock and it vanish without any error message. As there was an update few weeks before of the OS, I tried an older client (4.4.2) and it started normally. So I suspected that the GTK libraries were too old for what we use in the series so I tried to update the libraries. And it was the mistakes which I would discover 48 hours after. The GTK+ libraries are build using the official jhbuild tool: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK+/OSX/Building The update did not go well, it crashed multiple times, to the point that the environment was no more usable. So I decided to rebuild everything from scratch. I skip the part where openssl does not compile, some patches did not apply etc. I finally got a new environment that seemed to work. I could launch the client from command line, connect to demo server etc. So I built a new bundler and it crashed exactly the same way. But this time launching the application from command line failed also. I found that 'gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file' was not returning a pixbuf for the 'png' files. So I started to debug this behaviour slowly because it required to make a new bundle for each changes. I could not find an explanation to this behaviour. But I remembered that I had to install manually an header from glib 'gio/gdesktopappinfo.h' so I investigate this issue because it may be that libraries were wrongly linked. I discover that the libraries glib and pygobject from jhbuild are not compatible anymore. I could not find a set of version that allowed jhbuild to build both. I think jhbuild is no more used for Gtk+-2 but only for Gtk+-3. 24 hours have already passed since the first attempt to build release 4.6, I was closed to give up and declare that we can no more support OSX until we migrate fully to Gtk+-3 and Python-3. In a last attempt to find a solution, I tried https://brew.sh/. And I think it is a good choice, it is like when we switched to MSYS2. I installed every dependencies from brew and some with pip like python-dateutil and cx_Freeze. And so I build again a bundle to discover that it crashes exactly like all the previous one but only from the launcher, at least it works from command line. So I'm back at the point as the beginning. I finally found by change this bug report: https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/issues/495 And it is exactly the problem, the stupid Apple is appending a random argument "-psn_" to the program. So I made a similar fix at https://bugs.tryton.org/issue6899 and build a final bundle which starts from launcher: http://www.b2ck.com/~ced/tryton-4.6.0.dmg The result is that I broke the old build system and I can not rebuild it because of incompatible dependencies. I have a brew environment on which I can build new series starting from 4.2. But the brew environment is global to the system so I can not test if it works on a vanilla setup. So I'm requesting from user who has a vanilla OSX without brew (python, gtk+ etc) to test this new bundle before I publish it. Do not report that calender view is not working, it is expected because brew does not have goocanvas library that works with Gtk+-2.
