Get MacOS Dasher building and working in 64-bit #171

Closed sebwills closed 4 years ago

sebwills commented 4 years ago

The changes in the first commit, 9462c61, were emailed to me by Jorge Tendeiro who sponsored a developer to upgrade the MacOS build to 64-bit, so we now have a MacOS version of Dasher 5!

Subsequent commits in this PR are me tidying up a few of the changes and fixing some bugs I noticed.

Nice! Just to confirm - when you build it - is it looking like this:

Could you also update README.md file of the project? There are some comments about there for MacOS platform which may need some updates. Also, should we have a Install.MacOS file like the other platforms (Install.Linux, Install.Windows etc.)?

@willwade No, the canvas fills the window vertically for me: image Is your screenshot what you are seeing when building from this source?

I have noticed a conceivably related issue which is that the Dasher font in Preferences is set to 'no value' for each new user until they select a font (which is then persisted), and 'no value' seems to make it render a small and blurry font. I am intending to raise a github issue for that (and hopefully fix it in another PR). And I think some (all?) of the preferences aren't being saved at all. Also planning to investigate separately.

Yeah. That’s wierd. I’ll try looking at why that maybe then. Hmm.

@cagdas - I can try and figure out circleCI. You basically open the Dasher.xcodeproj file and hit the build button. There’s a command line to do that too.

I've updated the README and added an INSTALL.macOS which contains the sum total of my knowledge about how to build it :)

Re circleCI, note that https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/oss/ says:

To support the open source community, organizations on Github or Bitbucket will be given 100,000 free credits per week that ... can be spent on Linux-medium resources.

Note: If you are building an open source project on macOS, contact billing@circleci.com to enable these additional containers.
