Heho,

josh and me have just been able to build a working (although first testing so far ;P) version of roasterbase on osx.
You can grab the tarball with the .app on the homepage. Any testing is greatly appreciated.

Hi Dario,

I grabbed the OS X version out of the Subversion repository. Unfortunately, when it tried to load the first library it failed. My machine is an older PowerPC Mac, and the Qt on the machine on which you did the build appears to be Intel rather than Universal. That's my guess, at least. Here's the message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Note the line near the bottom saying that Qt.so is mach-o format, but wrong architecture.

Best,
David

Hi,

the .app build seems to have 2 problems atm. One of them - which you ran into - is that our app is not a universal binary and built on PPC. I already mailed Josh asking whether he knows a decent way to build universals and included some hints i found on that. Just a bit patience .

The other problem is that the subversion metafiles seem to break the .app even on PPC(?). I was planning on getting rc1 (aka, all features there, database scheme *stable*) this weekend, so i will move the builds out of svn by that time.

I am on PPC, so the problem lies elsewhere. I'm running a 10.4 system, though, so if Josh is running Leopard he may have a different version; I don't know.

Best,
David

0.1-RC1 is finished, every feature in there should be working by
now. "Raw" Python files and a Windows Build are on the Website,
http://ghostdub.de/roasterBase

I'm looking forward to some more items for my ToDo-List for the
Program ;P.

I downloaded it, and it looks very nice. Is there any documentation how to use it?

Sorry, not yet. I thought it wasnt necessary, but it has grown since i came up with that thought.

You're right, i should write some ;P. Maybe a "Screencast". Thanks for the pointer.

Took a bit longer than expected, sorry. Had to add another feature first ;P.
Here's some preliminary docs...

Hope it helps.
