Installation on MacOS

Warning:
Installation of OpenMS on MacOS X is experimental and has been tested with MacOS 10.4 only.
Note:
If you want to try using a different MacOS X version, use the right Xcode tools (should be version 1.X for 10.3) and things might work out fine. This document might still give you valuable hints.

OpenMS Installation on MacOS 10.4 (Tiger)

Eyecandy (making TOPPView a real MacOS Application)

cd $OPENMSDIR/bin mkdir -p TOPPView.app/Contents/MacOS mkdir TOPPView.app/Contents/Resources touch TOPPView.app/Contents/PgkInfo cp TOPPView TOPPView.app/Contents/MacOS

edit TOPPView.app/Contents/Info.plist and insert the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>Englisch</string> <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key> <string>ToppView</string> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>TOPPView</string> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>de.openms.TOPPView</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>0.9</string> </dict> </plist>

This did not work reliably - sometimes the application does not start and the bouncing symbol disappears again immediately. If you can find the bug, please contact us.

Further information on Info.plist can be found here.
