First off, my bad for not keeping up with a project I find valuable enough to actually contribute cash and effort to. I should have been following along over the last 10 months, but I fell away and haven't checked back in. I got a new rig for the car (Yaesu FT-7900) and needed to program it, so downloaded everything to my new Mac Book Air 11", and nothing. Actually from the console I was getting the following message, but would get nothing while clicking on it from the Mac Finder.
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Users/jay/Downloads/chirp-daily-20120714.app.
Not very descriptive, which led me to wondering what was going on. I keep Mac Ports up-to-date on my machine, all of the needed Python libraries were installed, but no go. I find my way to the startup script at:
/Users/jay/Downloads/chirp-daily-20120714.app/Contents/MacOS
And I see that all of the work that was put into allowing folks who already have Python2.7 and the needed libraries installed has been removed. That was there so we didn't have to download and pollute our systems with the KK7DS Python runtime. This was the pertinent parts of the Feb 15, 2012 script:
41 if [ ! -x /opt/kk7ds/bin/python2.5 ]; then 42 ERRMSG=$ERRMSG"The KK7DS Python runtime for OSX is not installed\n" 43 # check macports Python 44 if [ ! -x /opt/local/bin/python2.7 ]; then 45 ERRMSG=$ERRMSG"The Macport Python2.7 runtime for OSX is not installed\n"; 46 else 47 ERRMSG=" "; 48 NORUNTIME=0; 49 RUNPYTHON="/opt/local/bin/python2.7"; 50 51 if [ -z "`port -q installed py27-gtk`" ]; then 52 ERRMSG=$ERRMSG"The Macport py27-gtk module for OSX is not installed\n"; 53 let "NORUNTIME += 1"; 54 fi 55 if [ -z "`port -q installed py27-libxml2`" ]; then 56 ERRMSG=$ERRMSG"The Macport py27-libxml2 module for OSX is not installed\n"; 57 let "NORUNTIME += 1"; 58 fi 59 if [ -z "`port -q installed py27-serial`" ]; then 60 ERRMSG=$ERRMSG"The Macport py27-serial module for OSX is not installed\n"; 61 let "NORUNTIME += 1"; 62 fi 63 fi
Is there any particular reason these (or something similar) parts of the startup script aren't in there any longer? Are there more libraries in KK7DS's runtime package these days that is going to prevent the current Daily Build from working correctly? I've temporarily hacked the script since I know I have everything needed (at least from prior versions) installed and things SEEM to be working, but I'm at work and no cable/radio to test with at the moment to test with, and frankly I'd prefer to know I'm not missing something vital before using it anyway.
Again, apologies for not keeping up, and I didn't have a good way to search the mailing list archive for more information. I did find the posts back in August of last year with Gerrit, but not much else along the lines of changing the script.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer, and I'll try to keep up with things a bit better in the future. Apologies!
