[Feature request] Mac version? #10

Closed findingorder closed 7 years ago

findingorder commented 7 years ago

Since this is an Electron app, would you consider releasing a Mac build? Or, is there a way to make the Linux build work on a Mac? If it has a lot of Linux dependencies, you could distribute it via Homebrew.

Agreed! ^^

I don't own a Mac machine (and don't plan to in the near future), so unfortunately I can't help with this. It should be, however, straight forward to do that for someone with a Mac. If someone is willing to pick up the glove that will be really great.

I'm willing to volunteer my Mac if I get a little guidance. I'm not a developer by any means, but if I had some assistance in knowing where to start I think I could get it built.

I was able to get it up and running on my Mac without issue. I'll be testing to make sure that everything works properly and then once I feel it is ready I'll try to package a dmg and submit a pull request.

Most things work. I packaged the dmg which is currently here: https://github.com/heywoodlh/jumpfm/releases.

Two things of note:

  1. substitute the command key for ctrl in the keyboard shortcuts.
  2. copy and paste doesn't work yet. I will work on that.

Great Job !!!

Yes. The .dmg file has .app folder with a binary in it. And when opening the dmg it prompts the user to place the .app folder in /Applications. Which is a part of $PATH.

I tested it on my Mac and it worked perfect. And I tested the copying of the path in Jumpfm so that actually does work. So I don't really know of any other problems specific to the Mac version. If in the future you'd like me to package updated versions I absolutely can.

Overall, I think you can consider this closed as it seems like everything is working.
