Introduction |
------------ |
This is an alpha release of Gajim for OS/X using native GTK+. It is not finished |
nor is it relatively stable. The native port of GTK+ is alpha and not stable |
yet, though it has proven to be usable for Gajim. Having said that it is usable, |
basic functionality works. See the TODO file for a list of what is and is not |
working. |
Installing |
---------- |
Install the GTK+ framework into your /Library/Frameworks directory. It can be |
found at http://codepunks.org/gajim. |
NOTE: If you're able to make it work with official GTK release, we are VERY interested !! |
Copy the Gajim.app into the /Applications directory or any other directory. |
Installing language dictionaries |
-------------------------------- |
The codepunks.org build of the GTK+ framework comes with the US English |
dictionary pre-installed. If you wish to install a different dictionary download |
the appropriate dictionary from here: |
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/ |
Then follow these instructions: |
source /Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Versions/Current/bin/env |
tar -jxf aspell-<lang>-<version>.tbz2 |
cd aspell-<lang>-<version> |
./configure |
make |
make install |
Compiling Requirements |
---------------------- |
These instructions were gathered for building a universal binary on a PPC. The |
steps for building on an i386 should be essentially the same. |
Requirements: |
- OS/X 10.4, i386 or ppc |
- Universal MacPython 2.5 |
http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/index.html |
- Latest XCode (2.4.0 or greater) |
- py2app |
http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html |
Install all of the requirements. Make sure that the universal MacPython is |
installed before py2app. Then ensure that this is the first python in your |
PATH. |
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin:$PATH |
Then install py2app. |
Compiling |
--------- |
In the top level run the configure script. If this is source is from subversion |
then run the autogen.sh script. Follow it up with a make: |
./configure |
or |
./autogen.sh |
make |
Once that is done Gajim can be run from the source tree. You may also create an |
app bundle suitable for use or distribution. To do that run: |
python setup_osx.py build |
The Gajim.app bundle is created in the dist directory. This bundle is ready |
for use as is. Copy it to your /Applications directory and you're good to go. |
You now have a self contained (almost, requires GTK+.framework still) universal |
native build of Gajim. |
Optionally to create a distribution of the Gajim app bundle do: |
python setup_osx.py dist |
Development |
----------- |
It is possible to run Gajim correctly from the app bundle but still use the |
python code in the source tree. This line must be added to the _run() function |
in the Gajim.app/Resources/__boot__.py file. It needs to be located just after |
the sys module is imported. Font forget to fix the path to match your |
environment. |
sys.path = ['/Users/user/Source/gajim/src'] + sys.path |
