Mac OSX Installer issue

[ManusSs]

I have an issue with the installer for MacOS. I have two disc in my MacBook Pro, 1 SSD with a partition named "Macintosh OS" and 1 HDD (partition "Macintosh HD") for big data storage.

Message error :

[anaconda]

I think it's already fixed but we need someone to recompile the installer for mac.

[calhaus]

Hi @ManusSs First, i don't have a mac, so it can be hard to help you. Second, I've got OS X Yosemite running on Vmware (it's so slooow and laggy it's ridiculous, but it works i guess).

With that said, i've tested both installers, Git v1.21 and the sourceforge v1.00 (both with root privileges), and both times the usb drive was formatted to fat32 and both times worked fine. Can you tell me which version of installer are you using, are you running the app with root privileges and is your flash drive formatted or already with Xbian? Also when are you getting this errors? (I didn't really get it, you info was a bit confussing and little for me :/ )

---

@CurlyMoo I've managed to install qt5 n OS X, only dynamically and can't get qmake to run, but compiled the installer and works, but it's not static and i don't know yet why it does not askes me for root permissions like the one on sourceforge, will try to do compile qt statically and try to resolve this next...

Hi Guys

Ive created the installer with static libraries unfortunately im unable to test any further than loading it as it was built on a machine collocated the other side of the world for me. you can get it at https://www.dropbox.com/s/es9krw72vlfpmxs/XBian-installer.dmg?dl=0 let me know if it doesn't work and i can investigate and rebuild

[CurlyMoo]

Can you describe the steps needed?

[bairdy]

download the file file from https://www.dropbox.com/s/es9krw72vlfpmxs/XBian-installer.dmg?dl=0and mount the Xbian-installer.dmg in OSX and then run the Xbian-installer inside. select the device, insert a sd card, select version to download and click install and with a bit of luck all should work

[CurlyMoo]

Ok, i was unclear :smile: Steps needed to compile like you did?

[calhaus]

@bairdy First, dude thanks a lot for helping.

Second, i've first tested the first one (not static app you've added here) and it was not working. But this one is a really god start since is static. Three really minor problems only: -.dmg does not work, the app download the Xbian inside the folder, since dmg is mounted archive, the image will not be downloaded. It super easy, just extract the .app and run it and works fine. The best way is probably use *.zip so users extract the app in the first place; -The icon is is not showing for the app; -The app is not calling root privileges needed to write on the usb devices; I've found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18404884/c-show-osx-permission-dialog to add a root prompt but my qt creator is not opening on the vmware with osx now :s

[bairdy]

1. install xcode from apple app store
2. download qt from http://qt-project.org/
3. install qt and choose the the version of qt you want to build against
4. install git
5. clone xbian-installer-universal
6. load up qt creator and load the xbian-installer.pro from the xbian-installer-universal directory
7. select the version of qt to compile against and click release

8. click the hammer to compile for local use
9. open terminal and go to the where xbian-installer.app is now located
10. to make deployable and a dmg image file execute macdepolyqt in terminal /DIR TO QT COMPILED AGAINST/macdedeployqt Xbian-installer.app -dmg
11. mount dmg created and in terminal type to check its running all from the package type otool -L /Volumes/Xbian-installer/Xbian-installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Xbian-installer to get an output like

/Volumes/XBian-installer/XBian-installer.app/Contents/MacOS/XBian-installer:

@calhaus Ive done another build with the added security to test and download from https://adchimp.co.uk/xbian-installer.zip

i havent put it into a dmg file as for the icon i will take a look into later on tonight

[ManusSs]

@calhaus I'm running MacOS X Yosemite 10.10.2. This error message show at the launch of the app. I think the problem is in the code of the installer.

My system volume is named "Macintosh OS" and is mounted at "/Volumes/Macintosh OS". But the app installer want a volume named "Macintosh" and mounted in "/Volumes/Macintosh".

So with the actual app, we can't rename the principal partition of MacOS System.

@bairdy Your dmg version from Dropbox works on my MacBook when I launch the app from the dmg.

[calhaus]

@bairdy the icon part is fixed on git. and thanks for the tip with "macdedeployqt" ;)

For the root part, i've seen the app v1.00 from sourceforge, and this one has an extra executable/script. I've added this to the app and it works. Added the executable applet and folder: XBian-installer.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/* and changed the info.plist to execute first the applet.

@ManusSs I've found/reproduced the bug! :) It's related to what i'm talking above, about the script that asks for root privileges. I added that to the new version and if i execute it from a removable drive i get your error also. Everything works fine if i run it on a local folder.

You need root to write on a flash drive, so i'll look if i can fix the executable, for now: -Extract the app from @bairdy .dmg; and -Run the app with root privileges from a terminal: "sudo open /path/to/the/installer/.app"

[calhaus]

I've updated the OSX installer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbian/files/installers/ The bug is still there for now, but i've added a readme so people know they can't execute the file from a removable drive.

[bairdy]

@calhaus

sorry never got back in touch been cloning my server so to run on vmware to be able to test locally and spotted the fix for the icon :)

the new installer on sourceforge wont load on the real machine or in vm for me just get this message on both

which i think is down to the script which is the best way to raise the privilages with osx in the installer as it will be a bitch after doing some research as its not native osx code and a major lack of info integrating osx api's into qt5 if any

[CurlyMoo]

@bairdy, you can ofc implement ideas directly in the installer so we have a OSX developer on their as well :+1:

[calhaus]

@bairdy The app lost executable permissions. :s I've compress it on linux dunno if that was the problem.

I've runned chmod again and compressed it inside OS X. Can you tell me if it works right away now? Or you still have that problem? Link: http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/Q1NhdMM5/file.html

[bairdy]

Yeah will be able to have a look once once I get home from work later on. Linux probably did do something funky with the permissions if it doesn't work I'll repackage it with the correct permissions 😄

[bairdy]

@calhaus

Checked the install and it runs fine :)

[calhaus]

@bairdy , only saw this now. Ty for the feedback, if it's executable for you also, I'll upload this version :)

[bairdy]

Yeah that version is working and fine to upload  I'm getting a Mac dev account next week so will be able to sign the installer to avoid any issues with signing and not having to disable the app security in OS X or have to right click an open to bypass

[mk01]

@bairdy

can we implement option to choose a locally stored img ? it would serve as on-click restore of XBian's backup files (images, or clones to files) (((all the terms is the same. bootable image containing the actual system at the time of backup)))

[bairdy]

@mk01, yeah should be able to add a restore option, but it wont be for a week as im working away with work and dont have access to my desktop.

[mk01]

@bairdy

time was never a concern. just keep it mind and once you will be updating it, try to implement this. (the img is not gziped, pure data).

[Smultie]

Any update @bairdy?

[Smultie]

@bairdy how are you doing? :)

[bairdy]

sorry i ain't got back but been a little busy working round europe but back at home now, I have it all most done just the GUI to finish off and to test on all platforms so should be around 2-3 weeks once ive tested everything as i don't want to release it broken

[Smultie]

Sure, no problem @bairdy Good to know it will come eventually !

Hey Folks,

Any progress on this as I'm getting this error from OSX version of the installer from Sourceforge (about to install El Capitan though - so that might change it!)

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token 3' /bin/sh: -c: line 0:/Users/Ed/Downloads/XBian-installer-OSX (3)/XBian-installer.app/Contents/MacOS/XBian-installer' (2)

[mkreisl]

Is anybody here who is able to build a new version of OSX installer? I've modified installer sources (Rasberry Pi 3 support) and now there is need to build new installer for OSX

[bairdy]

Is it on the source forge rss feeds under rpi3 or similar? As it'll be a easy add for the source which I can do then make the installer for all platforms

[mkreisl]

https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-installer-universal Installer for Win and Linux are already built and uploaded to SF

[bairdy]

Yeah I will build it tonight

[mkreisl]

Great! Thanks

[bairdy]

sorry about the delay my i hadn't tried building the app with the latest xcode and os x which seems to break macdeployqt which bundles the frameworks into the app bundle and qt are a bit rubbish about osx support, it's going to be a day or two as im going to have to sort a mavericks machine out from a time machine backup and build from there

[bairdy]

i have it now built for OSX its available at https://www.dropbox.com/s/fvop09ynxbshzg8/XBian-Installer-OSX.zip?dl=0

[mkreisl]

Thank you. Uploaded to Sourceforge :smile:

[3vi13d]

Sorry I cant' seem to replicate in a clean install on a vm or on the mac it's self have you disabled gatekeeper as the package is not signed.
