Unable to launch in OSX.

[Dan]

I'm getting the following error when I select a Git repo on launch:

-----

git isn't in your $PATH.
When I tested it, I had git installed as /usr/bin/git.


Assuming that git is in your $PATH on the command-line then
you can get away with running either of these:

open /Applications/git-cola.app

or
/Applications/git-cola.app/Contents/MacOS/git-cola

You can even go as far as adding
/Applications/git-cola.app/Contents/MacOS

to your $PATH so that running 'git cola' does what you
expect it to do.

The advantage of not using the 'open' command is that it'll
pickup your current working directory, which is probably what
you want since you probably already did 'cd /my/git/project'
before running cola.


I've tested on PPC+Tiger as well as Intel+Leopard.

Let me know if that works for you.


I think there are ways to tweak some kind of Environment.plist
file to add stuff to the environment.

Where's your git? I know that the OSX git installer (on
google code) installs git to /usr/local/bin/git by default. I
assumed that /usr/local/bin was in everyone's $PATH, but I
might be mistaken.

I think that you're right; my error has to do with the path. I tried
adding the paths you mentioned but to no avail. I discovered upon
deeper investigation that I had installed a macport PYQT over a
standalone install PYQT. Oops. I've removed the port and the
standalone entirely and am now reinstalling via Macport. Let's see if
this works!

git-cola.app includes the PyQt + Qt libraries so there's no
need to install them unless you want to build it from source
yourself (or develop git-cola, in which case running cola from
the source tree is the way to go).


One weird thing about Tiger:

In order to actually run git-cola.app I had to uninstall
macports:

$ cd /opt && sudo mv local local.bak

otherwise it fails at startup.
I can then run the .app.

In order to develop/build the .app I have to then go back
and restore macports:

$ cd /opt && sudo mv local.bak local

I don't need that workaround on Leopard.
The tiger machine I have is ppc so ymmv.

Good luck,
-David

Git-cola still won't launch, reporting the same error. Interestingly,
when I try to build the application from source, I get this:

python setup.py build && rm -rf build

Calling for Git gives:

Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Add
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin
to your $PATH.

We should mention that in the darwin/README.

pyuic4 isn't installed in /opt/local/bin on macports, which is a
little weird, no?

I believe there's an open issue against macports to fix that
problem but it hasn't been addressed yet.


The next time I visit my friend w/ an intel tiger machine I'll
give it a try there. My laptop is an intel leopard and the
tiger machine I have access to is ppc, so testing the other
permutations is always not-so-easy for me.


Once you add pyuic4 to your path then building from source is
definitely the way to go (it's easier and doesn't require all
the .app stuff).

$ make
$ cd /path/to/my/git/repo
$ /path/to/cola/bin/git-cola

Thanks for helping out since the os x .app stuff is brand new.
