Easier Mac installation with Homebrew!

[mar...@marnen.org]

Hi, everyone!

I was trying to install Frescobaldi on my Mac, and I ran into two problems:

* The Mac installations use Macports, which is a dreadful, horrible, sad excuse for a package manager, and is generally not preferred in the Mac community these days.  (I try to keep it off my computers entirely.)

* Quite aside from the choice of package manager, the instructions are simply too complicated.

Therefore, I proudly present a much simpler build process, using the much better and widely used Homebrew package manager ( http://brew.sh ).  The Homebrew formula hasn't been merged into the master repository yet (see https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/22618 ), but you can always clone my Homebrew repo if you want to use it sooner.  With the Homebrew formula, the installation instructions are as follows:

1. Install Homebrew if for some reason you don't have it installed already.

2. brew install frescobaldi

3. There is no step 3.

This installs Frescobaldi and all dependencies including portmidi, and creates a launcher with Platypus.  By default it installs Homebrew's Lilypond package, but if you already have a Lilypond installation, then you can do brew install frescobaldi --without-lilypond , and then use the Frescobaldi preferences to point the program to your Lilypond installation.

BTW, for a MIDI softsynth that works out of the box, I recommend SimpleSynth; it's far easier to set up than fluidsynth/qsynth seem to be (just download the app and go).

Shall we put this info on the wiki and the website once the formula is merged into the master Homebrew repo?

Best,

OK, I lied.  There's a step 3. :)  Homebrew will print out a command to link the Frescobaldi.app launcher into your /Applications folder.  Just copy and execute it if you want it there.

If there is anything I could add to the frescobaldi source code to
easeinstallation in Mac OS (e.g. include an icon or some text file etc),
I'd be grateful to do!

Thanks to all the people working on Macs to make Frescobaldi usable
there!

Thanks for adding this. I did it the hard way with mac ports, but this looks much easier!

I've been advised that there are some problems with the Homebrew formula that I created.  I will fix them hopefully after finals this month, or will be happy to take pull requests from anyone who wants to give them to me.

I believe I've fixed the bugs.  The pull request is still at https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/22618 , and hopefully will be incorporated into the standard Brew distribution soon.

If you have an existing Lilypond installation, remember to do brew install frescobaldi --without-lilypond , and then point Fresco to your Lilypond installation in the application preferences.

The formula is now in the standard Homebrew distribution.  Can we change the official installation instructions to reflect this?

Those are conflict markers that Git put in.  Also notice the message from brew doctor:

In other words, your Homebrew installation (which is itself a Git repository) has problems.  As a quick fix, I'd suggest removing frescobaldi.rb and running brew update; if problems persist, then go to the Homebrew mailing list for advice on repairing your Homebrew installation. 

In other words, the problem lies with your Homebrew installation being in an inconsistent state. 

[donab...@gmail.com]

Great!

I deleted frescobaldi.rd and platypus.rb

Then doctor and repair.

Now brew update and brew doctor went fine.

But Frescobaldi doesn't install....

In other words, you installed poppler at some point, but didn't install it --with-qt4.  So reinstall it --with-qt4, or simply uninstall it and let Frescobaldi build it. 

In general, Homebrew's error messages (as in this case) make it very clear what the problem is and how to fix it.  They are worth reading. 

I would love to automate this further, but I don't think it's possible given the way Homebrew works.  I will check, though.

Interesting.  Did that link prove useful?

I'm guessing that you'd need to reinstall qt4, building it with your current compiler, but if the Brew website says something else, go with their idea, not mine. 

Let me know what you find; if it turns out to be something I can automate, I will.

Frescobaldi is ON!!

I delete qt and then reinstalled it.

brew install frescobaldi and now everythings seems work well.

The last problem is about OS 10.9 that need libc++. I compiled qt on 10.8 that used different libraries.

terminal says:
Qpainter not active

but seems to be a minor bug.

You have been fantastic! Can I offer a beer to you?

Yeah, after reading the page at the Brew website that your error linked to, I sort of thought that might be the case.  I haven't got around to upgrading to Mavericks quite yet.

No idea what that's about.  I hope it's not actually causing problems...

Or you could use the .app launcher and not see those messages. :P

Hi,

I'm trying to install Frescobaldi via homebrew but te script is giving me an error:

lilypond: A LaTeX distribution is required to install.

You can install MacTeX distribution from:
  http://www.tug.org/mactex/

Make sure that its bin directory is in your PATH before proceeding.

You may also need to restore the ownership of Homebrew install:
  sudo chown -R $USER `brew --prefix`
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

I'm now trying to install mactex and see what will happen.

I've seen that too.  That's coming from Homebrew's Lilypond package, which I've never actually used.   Remember, if you already have a Lilypond installation, you should do brew install frescobaldi --without-lilypond.

The Homebrew Frescobaldi formula should install qt automatically.  What was the exact error message you got?

If you can install the prepackaged LilyPond.app from http://lilypond.org/macos-x.html , your life will probably be easier.

I don't know if that would be of any use here. This is probably a Homebrew Python configuration issue, and as such is really more a question of your Brew installation than of my formula.  At least I *think* so. :) 

If that's the case, you might also want to take this issue to the Homebrew mailing list. 

 

Just for the heck of it, though, what's the output from brew info qt ?

You shouldn't have to give up; it should work pretty easily.  If not, then your experience is still helpful, in that it will help me get the formula to work with a wider range of configurations. 

Try again, and give exact error messages if anything goes wrong.  Good luck!

I have likewise had problems getting Frescobaldi to install properly. If error reports are helpful, then I'll attach my most recent attempt. Before I do, please note that Homebrew itself and all formulae were up to date before attempting the install.

Bash log follows. Hope it helps!

I'll look at the log in detail later, but one thing jumps out: you shouldn't need sudo for any brew command.  Try again without.  If that doesn't work, then I suspect your Brew installation and/or /usr/local permissions are misconfigured. 

I should also note that I haven't yet had the opportunity to test this formula on Mavericks, so that may be part of the problem.

OK, I'm taking a more in-depth look at the log now.  I hope I can be of some help, though I'm no expert on Homebrew configuration.

The installation starts out pretty well, until:

Sorry about that.  I don't know of a good way to automate it any more than it already is.  (Qt sometimes seems to get installed with a configuration that can't build Poppler, and I don't know what to do about that.)

Anyway, you did the right thing to deal with it...

Just so you know, this step was completely unnecessary for installing Frescobaldi.  If you don't otherwise need those symlinks (that is, /Applications/Assistant.app etc.), you can safely delete them.

Well, that's kind of frustrating.  It looks to me like none of these issues is actually helpful, but I'd urge you to read them if you haven't already and see if any of the advice there applies to you.

However, a quick search through the issue tracker on the Homebrew repo for "pyqt" implies that there may be some compatibility problems with Python 3.  Are you using Python 3?  If so, then check out https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/25735 and see if anything there applies to you.  (To find out which version of Python Homebrew is using, check the output from brew --config .)

If none of this helps, then as I said in my earlier post, I think that either your Brew installation is misconfigured or you're running into a Mavericks-specific issue with pyqt (although Homebrew's automated test system *does* test on Mavericks, so I'd be a little surprised...).  Since these issues don't really have anything to do with the Frescobaldi formula, I'd recommend that you file a new ticket with the Homebrew folks, following the instructions at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/troubleshooting .  If you do that, though, please do post the URL here so we can coordinate.  If the Homebrew folks say that your installation is OK and my formula is bad, it's probably best to believe them, not me. :)

I realize I never got back to you about this.  I don't know much about packaging native Mac applications, and I've never developed with Python, but I note that while the Frescobaldi.app launcher shows up as being called Frescobaldi, the actual Frescobaldi application itself shows the name Python in the Application menu and the application switcher.  If this can somehow be changed to Frescobaldi, it would be clearer.

Also, what do we need to do to get the Homebrew formula info onto the Frescobaldi website?  Should I just go edit the installation wiki page?

[matthias...@googlemail.com]

Hi everyone,

i also tried to install Frescobaldi with Homebrew, which failed with a few errors. I finally got Frescobaldi working (on OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks) with these steps:

1. Install python with brew install python
2. Installed the SIP dependencies manually with the help of https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/wiki/developers/MacOSX:

   Install Sip (from source)

   http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/sip/download

   ~/Downloads/sip-4.10.2
   $ python configure.py
   $ make
   $ sudo make install

3. Install Frescobaldi with brew install frescobaldi
4. Link it manually to the App Directory with brew applink

For me this made it working, but: no icon for frescobaldi, and also the problem, the frescobaldi window is titled "python".

I hope this helps someone. If i can help to get it working in an easier way, let me know.

Generally, if you have to install manually while using Homebrew, something is wrong.I wonder if the Homebrew Sip formula is supposed to work on Mavericks yet.

This depends on the way the application bundle is created, and is independent from Frescobaldi's code.

The just released 2.0.14 version includes the file 'macosx/mac-app.py', a Python/py2app script to build an application bundle.

I think that you should use it also in the Homebrew formula, since it is the currently recommended way to create an application bundle for Frescobaldi.

Have a look at the output of 'python macosx/mac-app.py -h' for information on the usage of that file.

For example, in MacPorts it is invoked with these options:

python macosx/mac-app.py -f -v ${bundle_version} -s /opt/local/bin/frescobaldi

'${bundle_version}' is the version of the application that will be visible, e.g., in the "Get Info" window; '/opt/local/bin/frescobaldi' is the location of Frescobaldi's launcher script once installed and activated; the '-f' option is needed because when the application bundle is created the launcher script is not already in place.

When the script is executed, a 'dist' directory is created in the current working directory and an application bundle 'Frescobaldi.app' is placed inside it.

The application bundle is NOT standalone, since it essentially contains a symbolic link to the launcher script and a bunch of helper scripts.

Anyway, it can be moved anywhere within the system, since the symbolic links are absolute.

If you have any questions about the py2app script, just write to me.

 

Also, what do we need to do to get the Homebrew formula info onto the Frescobaldi website?  Should I just go edit the installation wiki page?

I think that you can feel free to add a new page to Frescobaldi's wiki with instructions about installing and updating Frescobaldi and MIDI playback support thorugh Homebrew.

Then I'll take care of restructuring the Mac installation wiki pages to integrate your contribution.

Wilbert: do you think this is OK?

Best wishes.

Thanks, I've been checking every few days to see if 2.0.14 is out, but I'd missed the release.  I'll update the formula.  So Platypus will no longer be necessary for the 2.0.14 formula?

Clean up? Can I delete the directories in Cellar or I have to use something in a command line?
The last install did the Poppler_1 so I think now everything is linked to the last.

I haven't tried this on Mavericks, but it looks like the problem has to do with setuptools.  You could try pip install --upgrade setuptools; perhaps  http://attentionshard.wordpress.com/2013/10/25/os-x-mavericks-fixing-broken-python-development-environments/ will also be helpful.  If not, then maybe the Homebrew support list is a better place to ask, since this isn't really a Frescobaldi package issue, I think.

Anyone make any progress on this?  I'm having the exact same issue [after dealing with many other issues on my own]: something cryptic to do with easyinstall.  I'd ask on the Homebrew support list, but AFAICT they don't actually have one?  I certainly couldn't find it.  I could try filing a bug against Homebrew over this I guess?

Did you try the suggestions I made in my last post?  If so, what was the result?

They do.  Note the "community forums" listing at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki .

That might be worthwhile.

I tried the pip install upgrade stuff; no progress.  I read the attentionshard link but nothing there seemed obviously actionable to me.  I may try the mailing list; thanks.

Hi all, 

I also had problems with Mavericks, this was the error I got:

---------------- ERROR ------------------

==> python setup.py install

  http://peak.telecommunity.com/EasyInstall.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

READ THIS: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/troubleshootingz

--------------- END ERROR ------------

Looking at the solution Matthias provided I tried reinstalling python via 

$ brew install python

then I wanted to check if things by chance worked before going on with step 2, and in fact, step 1 was sufficient to re-run frescobaldi installation (always via homebrew) successful.

Thanks to all for your contribution.
