Feature Request: Mac OS X Port #760

Open engineervix opened 8 years ago

engineervix commented 8 years ago

It would be cool to have this application run on mac OS X as well. Are there any plans to port this to mac OS X? Thanks

ghost commented 8 years ago

I personally think this would be cool too. :)

I think @greg-hellings tried doing it a while ago, don't know where he got to though.

If this is done, I don't think we should do it until after rewriting the GTK3 port. See issue #761

Has Victor considered using Eloquent?

ghost commented 8 years ago

There is also Bibletime for OS X.

engineervix commented 8 years ago

@DavidHaslam I'm just from installing it and observing it a couple of minutes ago. It seems pretty good, though was crashing unexpectedly. @cjbayliss BibleTime was the one I initially tried out, but it was also throwing exceptions and freezing. I'm running the latest OS X El Captitan. I use Xiphos on my Ubuntu Gnome and on Windows 7, so I wanted to maintain the same application everywhere!

dmsmith commented 8 years ago

And Bible Desktop, STEP, and Alkitab.

Cent from my fone so theer mite be tipos. ;)

Thanks @dmsmith, will check those out as well 👍

DavidHaslam commented 8 years ago

I'm not one of the Eloquent developers. I merely assumed that you might not be aware of all the SWORD / JSword based apps. That's all.

If you have any iOS devices, check out the SWORD app called PocketSword, albeit there are now several issues that need fixing since iOS 9.x was released. The PS developers also need help.

engineervix commented 8 years ago

Thanks @DavidHaslam 👍

ray13z commented 7 years ago

If I could help with this - how would I go about it?

karlkleinpaste commented 7 years ago

in principle, all that's needed is packaging. a few years ago, another person now no longer participating in xiphos development got to a working build using straightforwardly-installed X compatibility packages, but could never devote the time to produce an actual redistributable package.

ray13z commented 7 years ago

Sure I can give it a shot; does it make sense to open a new issue thread for compiling issues?

karlkleinpaste commented 7 years ago

sorry for delay in responding. no, there's no need for another issue. in fact, i'd rather not have another cluttering up a single question.

once upon a time, the person who previously made this fly, without packaging, created this proof-of-concept screenshot: https://surgut.wordpress.com/2009/12/27/xiphos-on-mac-os/ http://blog.surgut.co.uk/2009/12/xiphos-on-mac-os_2742.html the only useful reference i see in those is gtk-osx. i hope that's a clue you can use.

not having a mac, not knowing a thing about packing for macos, i won't have much to offer in how this works out.

MC1171611 commented 6 years ago

Hi, has there been any progress on this? I use Eloquent almost exclusively, but I am always looking for more tools to add to my toolbag. I'm macOS exclusive right now, and while I'm not a programmer, I've compiled a few things from source, so I may be able to help test if someone gives me some direction.

karlkleinpaste commented 6 years ago

sorry, no. as has been our experience for more than 10 years, many people want it, no one wants to help produce it.

engineervix commented 2 years ago

Hello, I'm back, looks like this issue has been pending for a while! I haven't been using a mac for a while, until now.

I'll try and see if I can build the project, and provide feedback ...

Hello, I'm back, looks like this issue has been pending for a while! I haven't been using a mac for a while, until now.

I started with trying to get all dependencies sorted out. However, I'm having trouble building biblesync. I followed the Linux INSTALL instructions, making the following modification, based on this stackoverflow post

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$PWD/homebrew.cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=TRUE -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/homebrew -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew -DLIBDIR=/opt/homebrew/lib64 ../..

My homebrew.cmake file is as follows:

set(HOMEBREW_PREFIX "/usr/local"
    CACHE PATH "Path to Homebrew installation")

set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/bin/gcc-11")
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/bin/g++-11")

set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
    "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}"
    # These libraries are keg-only and not loaded into
    # the root prefix by default (to avoid clashes).
    "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/opt/util-linux"
    "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/opt/gcc/lib/gcc@11"
)

list(TRANSFORM CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH APPEND "/include"
     OUTPUT_VARIABLE CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES)
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES}")

set(CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK NEVER)
set(CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE NEVER)

set(CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH FALSE)
set(CMAKE_FIND_USE_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH FALSE)

The result of running the cmake command:

@xnox, saw your blog post at https://blog.surgut.co.uk/2009/12/xiphos-on-mac-os_2742.html. I know that's like ~13years ago 😄, but would you recall the details of how you managed to build the project on Mac OS?
