Stellarium crash on start

[Alexander Wolf]

I downloaded the .dmg (sourceforge), opened it and copied Stellarium to my Applications folder. Stellarium crashes immediately when I try to start it. Seems to be some problem with QTOpenGL, but I have no idea what to do about it.

Thanks!

Th issue is getting the Frameworks modifed to be embedded; this broke with OS X 10.7. I have started to work on it, but it's a real pain.

[RalphBln (schaef)]

I don't know if this is of much help, but I managed to compile an intel-only .dmg of stellarium 11.3 (on an intel MBP, running 64-bit Mac OS 10.7.4).

Compiling and installing went smoothly. I ran into problems during make macosx_bundle.

One of the problems is that pkgApp.pl only checks for fat, ppc, and i386 when examining the embedded dynlibs. On 64-bit machines, /usr/bin/file shows "Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64". So pkgApp.pl should also look for "x86_64", otherwise, you get "what to do about $absname being $arch" messages (with $arch being empty) for every embedded library, and nothing is copied.

I just added the following lines to the architecture sub routine:

    elsif ( grep(m/x86_64/, @output) ) {
 $retval = $current_arch;
    }

This helped. Libraries got copied to the Frameworks directory, and install_name_tool changed the install names correctly.

(It's better to return $current_arch here, since uname returns i386 under Lion 64-bit, and the folders for the different architectures are created based on the output of uname).

Don't know about ppc though...

Thanks for suggestion, I'm add patch but I can't try it.

[RalphBln (schaef)]

Another thing: The Qt plugins should be copied to the plugins directory (as stated in qt.conf) instead of the MacOS dir.

In macosx_bundle.sh:

Change line 22:
cp -pr /Developer/Applications/Qt/plugins/{imageformats,iconengines} ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/MacOS

to:
mkdir ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/plugins
cp -pr /Developer/Applications/Qt/plugins/{imageformats,iconengines} ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/plugins

Otherwise Qt finds and uses the plugins in /Developer/Applications/Qt/plugins on machines where Qt is installed. The plugins there in turn include links back to the Qt frameworks in /Library/Frameworks which leads to the Qt frameworks being loaded twice resulting in "Class XYZ is implemented in both .../stellarium-0.11.3/builds/macosx/Stellarium.app/Contents/MacOS/./../Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui and /Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined." messages an stellarium crashing.

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Thanks for suggestion again! Please check a new revision.

[RalphBln (schaef)]

Oh, I forgot: The next line (23, now 24) must also be changed

from:
for f in ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/MacOS/{imageformats,iconengines}/*.dylib; do

to:
for f in ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/plugins/{imageformats,iconengines}/*.dylib; do

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Fixed, please check it.

[RalphBln (schaef)]

Ah, sorry, I should have tested before posting.

The plugins should not reside in subfolders of the plugins dir. My mistake.

So lines 22-24 in macosx_bundle.sh should be:

mkdir ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/plugins
cp -pr /Developer/Applications/Qt/plugins/{imageformats,iconengines}/* ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/plugins
for f in ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/plugins/*.dylib; do

This is tested in working on my machine with Qt frameworks installed.

Apologies for the confusion.

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Fixed too, please check it again.

[RalphBln (schaef)]

Okay, checked. The plugin depencies are okay.

However, copying of framworks and libraries still fails, because under Lion /usr/bin/arch can give inaccurate information (i386 instead of x86_64), leading to the creation of a "i386" directory and the subsequent attempt to copy to a (non-existing) "x86_64" directory.

This is why I recommended returning $current_arch rather than "x86_64" from the architecture sub routine in pkgApp.pl. I agree, however, that this is a rather dirty fix.

A maybe better fix would be to use "uname -m" instead of "arch" for detecting the current architecture (this seems to return the correct architecture on Lion systems):

Change pkgApp.pl, line 16 from:

my $current_arch = `/usr/bin/arch`;

to:

my $current_arch = `/usr/bin/uname -m`;

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Hmm... can you write patch for fully building working package?

[RalphBln (schaef)]

Here's the patch with my changes since rev 5457. If you need a patch with all changes mentioned in the last comments, pls. let me know (I have to go now, so I won't be able to do this right now).

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Yes, I need a full patch

[RalphBln (schaef)]

Okay, here's the complete patch.

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

I'm add your patch, thanks! Can you check it now?

[RalphBln (schaef)]

Checked. Works perfectly.
