hugin and Leopard

[Arthur Brody]

Any problems running Hugin version .6 on Leopard?

Hi Bill,

I use hugin's Lucerne edition (0.7) on a PowerBook G4 (OS X 10.3 aka
"Panther", 2 GB RAM) and on a PowerMac G5 (OS X 10.4 aka "Tiger", 6.5 GB
RAM). 10.5 aka "Leopard" is still strolling around somewhere on my desk
waiting for a new HD to arrive.

So, no problems here. I only don't know about an official download URL
for the Mac version of the Lucerne editon. Or is a later hugin.dmg
available somewhere?

The latest version on sf.net is 0.7 beta 1 but that didn't work for me.
However if your hugin worked on a former OS X it should also work with
10.5...

So, did you compile it by yourself?

[Carl von Einem]

No, I was lucky to meet Ippei in Lucerne who helped me. Some paths had
to be edited and everything needed to be in the right folders.

I should install 10.5 and make a little documentation of how to install
hugin...

I tried version 0.7 some time ago and while it did compile it did not
function (stitching failed) so I went back to the downloadable
0.6 .dmg in order to reliably stitch big panoramas. I'm more than
willing to try newer versions if they actually stitch on my more or
less generic intel iMac, but not to see if I can get them to build. Is
there a macports Hugin?

[ArAgost]

That would be super special awesome. Also, a (beta) binary would be a
good idea to let everyone test.

[Carl von Einem]

Oh, the next versions will be compiled regularly for a wide range of
platforms, see <http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin#Supported_Platforms>.

So let's see what I can do in the next couple of days.

Cheers,
Carl

Hi everybody,

I spend more than a week trying to get OS X 10.5 working. At the end I
decided to downgrade.

The main reasons were:

1. X11 is broken in 10.5 (at least it was broken 10 days ago. See

http://lists.apple.com/archives/x11-users/2007/Nov/msg00005.html

2. Postfix seems to be broken in 10.5. I just could not get it to work
properly. I think there are several problems: one is that netinfo
does not exist any more. Another is that /etc/hosts is sometimes
used and sometimes is not. I could not find a way to specify
/etc/hosts first, then DNS. Postfix would work fine for an hour,
and then break.

3. I was hit by the "random keyboard freeze" bug. This was very
irritating and the final reason I downgraded. I cannot use a laptop
that has random keyboard freezes.

4. SOme applications did not compile cleanly. Perhaps the most
relevant was emacs. It required some patches. Fink is slowly catching
up (I know many of you use macports, so this might not apply)

5. Spaces are not perfect. When you switch to another application it
sends you no to the last window of that application, but to the
first. Annoying if you have windows in more than one workspace.

Finally, don't make the mistake of reformatting your disk with
case-sensitive file system. Adobe's applications will refuse to
install.

I am not saying do not upgrade, just be careful and expect some
glitches.

Thanks for those hints, as I always did when new OS X versions hit the
market I will do a clean installation on a separate HD. I need to have a
working system, and so two of my Macs still run 10.3 :-)

Carl,
I'm working on getting another mac binary out, but it will be a binary
from the unstable development trunk before there will be a stable
binary available. Right now I'm sorting through issues with compiling
all the dependencies into universal shared libraries, so it might take
some time before a real release is available. If you have a PPC, you
can try one of my first attempts at http://www.petercrowley.org/Hugin.dmg
and see if it works for you. Again this is unstable and will have
problems.
