Re: [platform-swt-dev] OS X version, now and future


Hi Andre,

I saw this email and ready your steps on how to build Mac OS X.

I would like to start building this thing regularly with Nightly and Integration builds.

Currently all the building is done on a Linux box but it looks to me like if you could provide us with some kind of archive instead of a Mac disk image we would just:

        1) Unarchive what you give us.
        2) Build all the plugins like we normally do including building the carbon swt plugins
        3) Put the plugins in the right directory, looks like Contents/Resources/Java
        4) Zip it all back up again and put it on the web page.

Unfortunately we would not be able to run any Mac specific automated testing at this time.  However, that status for the Mac drop would reflect the results of platform independent testing.

So does this sound right?  Can it really be that easy?  If you could get me an archive of your stuff that was not a disk image we could start trying it out.

I have cross posted this mail to the releng mailing list where this particular conversation may have more relevance.

...Dean...

Mac OS X has to become a first class citizen w.r.t. the drops page. Then you can get integration builds for the Mac just like any other platform. I'm still trying to figure out how to do this, but it hopefully won't take too much longer.

Until that happens, I'll keep posting to the developer resources page anything Andre sends me.

Andre: I realize I should have tried this already, but can you run Eclipse from within Eclipse on the current drop?

McQ.

Hi,

>1) Has OS X been added to the bug tracking software?

Yes, there is a new entry "Mac os x" under "OpSys" (thanks McQ!)

>2) Are you going to post instructions on how to update our versions from CVS
>(as you did earlier pre-F2), so we can keep up with the lovely changes?

I've planned to release a new swt.carbon plugin with some fixes today.

Question (to McQ and others):
How should I made the 'patch' org.eclipse.swt.carbon available?
