support Mac OS X Lion

[matysek]

At the moment we are not able to support Mac OS X Lion. And if we do, it will be experimental for some time.
Reasons - some libraries and tools are not ported and tested on Lion yet:
 - pyinstaller: It was not tested there yet: http://www.pyinstaller.org/ticket/383
 - Qt4: latest stable qt (4.7.3) does not work (compile errors)
   - we have to wait for 4.7.4 (if even released with lion support) or use 4.8beta
   - we use http://macports.org to install libraries on Mac and qt 4.8beta is not yet available there:
     https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30278

[matysek (mzibricky)]

Qt 4.7.4 should contain fixes for lion: https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-20496

[matysek (mzibricky)]

Another issue is PyQt4. I'm not sure if it has been already tested on lion.

Log files from the support system:

Another bug report from pyinstaller, similar to those log files:
http://www.pyinstaller.org/ticket/388

[matysek (mzibricky)]

I tried compilig pyqt 4.8beta1 with macports several times, but it's still failing. This is the last output I get:

http://pastebin.com/fmqj9pG4

[matysek (mzibricky)]

Qt 4.8beta must be compiled only as 64bit binary (not universal - 32 and 64 bit).
Qt 4.8beta then compiles fine and PyQt 4.8.3 too.

Phonon 4.4.2 from macports fails to compile:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30425

We need to wait for phonon fix or make the phonon import in openlp conditional.

[wezlo (revwez)]

Yah, I'm getting tons of errors in Lion, that does not make me happy (but is to be expected).

[matysek (mzibricky)]

I was able to get openlp up and running from source on lion.

The workaround for phonon error was to enable phonon bundled with qt4.8 and not use the default one in macports.

[matysek (mzibricky)]

Macports already contains Qt 4.7.4 which compiles fine on Lion. PyQt4 and Phonon also now compiles fine.
We are now able to get stable development environment for OpenLP on Lion.

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

That is great, I will be able to build a new test-release the next days, would you be able to test it?

[wezlo (revwez)]

I'll test it!

[matysek (mzibricky)]

I wrote we are able setup environment to run OpenLP from source. I didn't write the Mac OS X build should work.

I can test the build but I expect to be failing with the same issue as previously. Since pyinstaller needs some tweaking.

[matysek (mzibricky)]

The issue should be fixed in latest pyinstaller svn version. I create a test mac build for Lion:
http://files.zibricky.org/openlp/OpenLP-1.9.7-bzr1799.dmg

Could anybody please test it?

[wezlo (revwez)]

Yuppers!

[matysek (mzibricky)]

Does it mean that it at least starts for you on Lion?

Please test next build if jpegs are working

http://files.zibricky.org/openlp/OpenLP-1.9.7-bzr1799-2.dmg

[wezlo (revwez)]

It does, and I will the very next time I'm at my Mac...

Tested bzr1799-2 build on Lion and jpegs work.

[matysek (mzibricky)]

Thats great news. We are able to make fuctional build for latest Mac.

Then this bug could be closed.

[matysek (mzibricky)]

With latest pyinstaller trunk we are able to create working OpenLP builds for Mac.
Fix for pyinstaller is commited. See: http://www.pyinstaller.org/ticket/388

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

Great news Martin! BTW Since yesterday evening I have internet at my new home, so I am also able again to do builds. So I just need to use the latest pyinstaller from SVN, do a "make" in to create the dmg and that's it? Or did you need to do any changes on the OpenLP build scripts?

[matysek (mzibricky)]

You should just grab latest pyinstaller svn and do make.

However, you there some steps the script does not need to handle:
- macdeployqt
- qt_menu.nib - now automatically handled by pyinstaller

Look at my branch where I'll do refactoring of mac build script:

lp:~mzibricky/openlp/mac_build_refactoring

Could you please create a new build?
I would like to test if it works on Lion.

NOTE: mac build might not work on machine with macports. - this is side effect of the pyinstaller fix for Lion. To test it on machine with macports just try temporarily rename dir with macports:

cd /opt
sudo mv local local.save

I'm working on fixing this issue.

[Andreas Preikschat (googol-deactivatedaccount)]

What is the status of this one? Where test builds created? Did they work?

[matysek (mzibricky)]

Yes, they worked.

I work on improving Mac build script but builds should work without those improvements.

This bug can be set as 'Fix Released' when Mac packager is doing new builds and confirms that it work for him.

[Matthias Hub (matthiashub)]

Yes, I planned to do an official build for the upcoming release!

[Andreas Preikschat (googol-deactivatedaccount)]

When all needed changes are in trunk (build scripts) and the documentation is updated, then this should be set to fix released. It this the case?

[Andreas Preikschat (googol-deactivatedaccount)]

[matysek (mzibricky)]

No. For build script there is another report.

'Fix released' When Matthias releases own testing build which will work on Lion.

[Andreas Preikschat (googol-deactivatedaccount)]

We use "fixed released" when the fix is merged in trunk. So when the mac packager are able to build a working lion build with trunk (including the docs in trunk) then it is "released".

[Andreas Preikschat (googol-deactivatedaccount)]

(At least that is the way we treat other bugs.)
