We are having some trouble with creating an EiffelStudio binary package for
our first semester course:
The issue seems to be related to the gtk2 MacPorts installer [1] but then
again it could be a problem with something ES specific as well, so I count
on your insight ;)
Here's what I found out:
- Installing EiffelStudio from a mpkg file created by MacPorts on a
freshly installed and updated 10.5.8 works fine, but when trying to start
EiffelStudio the X server will come up, then the application hangs and
nothing more happens. (It seems to be stuck in EC_EV_LAUNCHER root's
creation procedure)
- Interestingly EiffelStudio will start when the environement variables
are not defined (the GTK+ window shows up correctly) but is then not able to
find icons, wizards, etc.
- Installing MacPorts, building gtk2 and then installing eiffelstudio.pkg
on that machine seems to fix the problem. There seems to be some problem
with installing gtk2 with the pkg files.
Best regards,
Daniel Furrer
