[Tellico-users] tellico on mac os x 10.6.2 (snow leopard)

[Christophe Diericx]

Here's where I'm now (in my quest to getting tellico to work on Snow
Leopard / Mac OS X 10.6.2):

I got to the point where tellico builds and starts succesfully, but it
crashes (hard) when (for example) trying to open a collection or start
a new one (from a template).

What I did:

(starting with the XCode tools and a fresh, up-to-date macports:

sudo port install cmake
sudo port install kdebase4 taglib exempi
sudo chown -R mac ~/Library/Preferences/KDE

I downloaded the tellico tarball from the website (tellico-2.1.1.tar.bz2)

tar xvf tellico-2.1.1.tar.bz2
cd tellico-2.1.1
mkdir build
cd build
export QTDIR=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$QTDIR
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib
cmake .. -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/bin/qmake
-DLIBEXSLT_LIBRARIES=/opt/local/lib/libexslt.dylib
-DLIBXSLT_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/local/include
-DLIBXSLT_LIBRARIES=/opt/local/lib/libxslt.dylib
-DQT_QTSCRIPT_LIBRARY=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/lib/QtScript.framework
-DQT_QTUITOOLS_LIBRARY=QT_QTUITOOLS_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/local
make
sudo make install

Note that I added the explicit Qt paths to cmake because I have
multiple versions of Qt on my system.

Before starting tellico I had to issue the following to get DBUS up and running:

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

Otool seems to suggest the libs are ok:

When running with gdb I get (when crashing the application):

ASSERT: "d" in file /opt/local/include/ksharedptr.h, line 126

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0x00007fff83964fe6 in __kill ()

I'll (need to) investigate this a little further.

If anyone has any ideas, please share!
