MacOS compatibility #25

Open xjosh opened 5 years ago

xjosh commented 5 years ago

Git source compiled and installed just fine on MacOS. However, running fails like this:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/vSPCServer", line 222, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/local/bin/vSPCServer", line 180, in main handler = SysLogHandler(address="/dev/log") File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 762, in __init__ self._connect_unixsocket(address) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 790, in _connect_unixsocket self.socket.connect(address) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 228, in meth return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args) socket.error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I realize MacOS compatibility wasn't promised but it sure would be nice. I'm not smart enough to know if this is easy or difficult to make work but figured I throw in a request. Happy to help test or otherwise contribute, just have near zero code skills.

It should be straightforward to get the service running in Docker which seems a better way to go for Mac compatibility. In theory that doesn't need any coding skills :-).
