Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.08.22 15:27:00 - [1] Is this package available for Mac OS-X? Surely you can do one considering they share many of the various Linux/Unix programming libraries. ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================
Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.08.22 17:50:00 - [2] I think I could pull that off... I have the development tools here... but I'm not sure where to start >.>; Send me an EVEMail and we'll chat.... Because a Fitting tool for Mac's is desperately needed. ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================

Could you join our irc channel ? #pyfa on irc.freenode.org I don't use IRC... sorry.

Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.08.26 21:41:00 - [4] Ok I got it to run on my Mac. Here's how. ===========WARNING!!!!!!!============ What your about to do is going to take at least 1 to 2 hours. You need to make sure your computer is not busy or distracted running EVE Online or something. This also requires some Terminal time so if your going to do this... follow instructions EXCATLY. I was unable to get far enough to package it all up... but hey... it runs... I have yet to push it but I felt if I post this... more will start using it and test it out. Requirements - OS-X 10.5.8 XCode (Check Macintosh HD) XCode Tools (Check Macintosh HD... if its not there.. grab your System DVD and pop it in.. you'll find it hiding there and its easy to install) SMC Fan Controls (if your on a Macbook Pro as its going to get a little toasty during its job X11 (Should be preinstalled, check Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/ to see if its there) ======================= DISCLAIMER - I will not be held liable for anything your about to do. It's a beta at best folks. Step 1: Get the package for LINUX http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyfa/files/0.3.6/pyfa-0.3.6-src.tar.bz2/download Step 2: Extract and drop the folder in your Applications Folder. Keep in mind that in its current state.. it will not launch... Step 3: As he said in his readme... you need a couple of things... most notably... Python and GTK. Apple kinda slacked here and your current version of Python is outdated. Go to http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/MacPorts-1.7.1/MacPorts-1.7.1-10.5-Leopard.dmg Macports is a automated "Installation" program that you can tell to go "fetch" various things... it also seeks out dependencies... as just installing python will not work. Note: You can get python downloaded from python.org but for some reason this did not work as effectively as before. Granted I didn't have to compile the damn thing but for some reason Macports route is better. Step 4: Install Macports like you would normally install an application on your Mac. Step 5: Here comes the tough part... go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal. Ah yes... the real world of programmers and geeks! You can change the color theme in Preferences if you want. In terminal type the following: sudo port -v install python26 This installs Python version 2.6 under root with verbose logging. Put simply, you will see a crapton of text in about 30 seconds to a minute. You will be required to type in your User Account Password to do this. It may require administrative privileges! (Assuming your the Admin on the computer that is) ======WARNING!======== DO NOT START THIS UNLESS YOUR SURE YOU CAN KEEP THIS UP FOR AN HOUR OR MORE ====================== It will download and compile a crapload of programs... the last being python itself. DO NOT Interrupt it... if you don't see anything... give it a good 10 minutes before aborting. If you abort... you may end up starting the process all over again. Step 6: Type in the following once the above is completed sudo port -v install python_select This installs a kickstarter for the python libraries and such. (AFAIK) Step 7: Type in the following once its done installing... sudo python_select python26 This engages/activates Python 2.6 Step 8: Type in the following... sudo port -v install py26-gtk This installs the GTK Libraries for Python 2.6 along with all the GTK stuff.... which is also needed. This takes a good deal of time so be warned! Step 9: Type in the following when you have installed the above... cd /Applications/pyfa-0.3.3-src Step 10: Type in the following... python downloadData.py Step 11: Type in the following... python launch.py If all goes well... you should see X11 Fire up... and you'll be looking at lieterally the worlds first EFT for Mac. ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================

I'm sure that can be scripted... I just got it done and I wanted to get it posted as soon as I got here.

Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.08.26 22:58:00 - [6] So far so good! No problems... needs error messages to explain the sudden non-responsiveness of clicking OK when its obviously wanting you to give your fit a name and such. Great job! This has potential to go very far for the Macintosh platform! ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================

This has potential to go very far for the Macintosh platform! Very nice job on getting it to work on mac ! Could I get some screenshots to add to the screenshot section ? (Also, if it looks ugly you can add a gtk theme btw) EDIT: you should look at gtk-osx too, it has some bundling facilities you might be able to use. Linkage I'll see about getting some screen shots. And I'll look into the themes bit. Is there an automatic Updating package or do we have to constantly download the source files? PS: Check the Mac Forums as a thread has been started for your product. Linkage ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================
Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.08.27 17:00:00 - [8] Wrote a shell script for Mac Users to aide in the launching of the program without the messiness of shell prompt.

Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.08.28 14:51:00 - [9] You didn't answer my question about updating your program. does the download script do that or do I have to reinstall the program every time? ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================

Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.08.28 22:19:00 - [11] Originally by: Keil metwo <Snip> also can not save more then one api? however looks very good. i like it. very nice work. Yes you can... just have to hit that little white page icon. Got all of mine in just fine. Just dont exit the program without hitting the close button first. ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================
Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.08.28 23:40:00 - [12] Originally by: Keil metwo hrmm tried that. and when i added the second one it took the first ones spot. Are you sure your hitting the "new" button and not the "Edit" Button? I know... stupid question... there are a lot of things about this program that aren't obvious. ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================
Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.08.29 21:57:00 - [13] Updated Mac Notes for updating PYFA.... Linkage Also.. instead of listing specific directories for downloading files... could you list the main directory instead? http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyfa/files/ Don't know how "git" works... so yeah... ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================
Drake Draconis Minmatar Shadow Cadre	Posted - 2009.09.02 20:43:00 - [14] Originally by: Toksyuryel I've been having a hell of a time getting this to run in Gentoo. I upgraded to Python 2.6 and went through the python-updater process (which included updates for pygtk and all its deps) and I am still not able to run this. The error I am receiving follows: $ python launch.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "launch.py", line 18, in <module> import gtk ImportError: No module named gtk I also checked with eselect and 2.6 was already active according to it, so I'm really at a loss for what could be going on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Stupid Question - Did you check to see that GTK Itself was installed with all deps? This was a problem I encountered on the Macs when I started messing with PYFA. ========================= CEO of Shadow Cadre http://www.shadowcadre.com =========================
