OS X binaries of latest git source

[B. Gian James]

Hello dev team,

At Gian's request I've created an OS X binary release of the most recent Falcon master from the git repository. I compiled the source into binaries and installed on an OS X x86_64 machine then created archives from the files that were installed. I created the following packages:

falcon-0.9.6-darwin.tar.gz
falcon-0.9.6-darwin.tar.bz2
falcon-0.9.6-darwin.dmg

The last one (the *.dmg) is a custom OS X dmg with Falcon icon that automatically mounts on the filesystem and allows the user to drag/drop the folder into their filesystem for installation. All of the archives are available at http://www.opendesignstrategies.org/downloads and each above listed archive should already be correctly linked to its location on our web server, so you should be able to just click on the link to get the files.

I encourage anyone with OS X to verify these archives. Further, the dev team should probably open the *gz/bz2 archives to see if I've missed anything and ensure I've included all that's necessary (ie LICENSE files, etc).

Hope this helps and don't hesitate to contact me or let me know if you need me to make any changes.

Kind Regards,
-gian

Fantastic. We're rolling a bugfix release this week and this will be in! Thanks 1000!

The DMG files isn't working for me as expected. 

What kind of information would be helpful for debugging this?

[B. Gian James]

hi steveno,

What sort of problem are you having exactly? Is the dmg not mounting? Is it something to do with the files?

It should mount with a double-click and then you should be able to drag-and-drop the "usr" directory onto your root / filesystem (will probably require permissions). Are those steps working?
If so, are you getting some errors from running the actual binaries?

I apologize. The dmg appears to be working correctly. I misunderstood the original directions. Good work!

Hi ,

The dog is working, it would be nice though if it could be just a drag and drop to the HD.

Now, I needed to copy it to the desktop, and from a terminal copy it to /usr.

But what I wanted to give feedback on is that the arrow keys is not working for editing.

It's a setting in cmake if I remember correctly.

Hi!

Thanks a lot!

the settings is FALCON_WITH_EDITLINE. We have an internal version of
EDITLINE that can be enabled with FALCON_WITH_INTERNAL_EDITLINE.

Try them out!

Gian.
