Hi,

I know that there have been a lot of bugs and posts regarding the build
of rcps for the mac - unfortunately I cannot see what the state of the
matter is.
After I have finally managed to bring our builds to buckminster and
hudson I noticed that the generated sites are not usable for the mac.
Just to make this clear: I start with a rcp app that includes the
platform launchers (helios release) and I build the site feature with
the buckminster site.p2 action with the properties target.os=*,
target.ws=* and target.arch=*. There are errors during the build:

java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/tmp/p2.brandingIron4201699989068192462/funtrade.app/Content s/MacOS/funtrade.ini
(No such file or directory)
3 more of these and these two:
Error - 7 icon(s) not replaced in
/tmp/p2.brandingIron418735655400775535/launcher.exe using
/home/svw/.hudson/jobs/ch.arenae.funtrade.client.rcp/workspa ce/wsbuck/features/ch.arenae.funtrade.client.feature.rcp/ch. arenae.funtrade.client.product.rcp/branding/win32/funtrade.i co
Error - 7 icon(s) not replaced in
/tmp/p2.brandingIron8741798148153051492/launcher.exe using
/home/svw/.hudson/jobs/ch.arenae.funtrade.client.rcp/workspa ce/wsbuck/features/ch.arenae.funtrade.client.feature.rcp/ch. arenae.funtrade.client.product.rcp/branding/win32/funtrade.i co

I'm using the latest 3.6 buckminster headless to build this.

Perhaps it's a case of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=278909

What can I do? Do I have to revert to PDE build to get a working mac
product? Is there a workaround? Not renaming the launcher in the
..product and rename it later with a shell script? Using a patched
version of buckminster?


Thanks for help,
Peter

I am sharing your pain.
I have a working build of an RCP app on OSx, but it suffers from one
problem - the osx icns file is not generated in the right place and have
to be manually there after the build. OTOH - For me PDE does not do the
right thing either.

I hope to be able to drill down into this with thomas' help soon, as it
is a pain to copy the Resources folder with the icns file from another
location.

How can you produce this working build? (We already had a post-build
script that fixed some issues with wrong names in the osx build and
wouldn't mind to continue with something like this).

In our case we end up with a p2 repo that is not usable. If I try to
provision an osx product, I get this:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=profile,
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.pha ses.Collect,
operand=, action=).
No repository found containing:
binary,ch.arenae.funtrade.client.product.executable.cocoa.ma cosx.x86,2.1.0.N20100825-3-7H79-cLaP7-AMVG-USd1wG9tOGKh

I have a setup with a feature that contains the (feature based) product
definition. A second feature describes all the requirements (including
all the required fragments for various platforms).

In my case I use a target definition that consists of "the delta pack"
and "the standard TP".

I then execute buckminster create.product, defined in a cspex in the
feature that has the product. It makes use of the TP with the delta pack.

I still don't get it. My target is materialized by buckminster and
consists of the two features:
- org.eclipse.platform
- org.eclipse.equinox.executable
both are being materialized with the properties target.os=*, target.ws=*
and target.arch=*.

I have then tried with the mail app example bundle, a feature that
contains the mail app, includes o.e.rcp and o.e.equinox.launchers,
contains a feature based product and finally a site feature that
contains the feature above. This is almost exactly the setup out of the
example in the bucky book.

I can create the site with the site.p2 action in the site feature. And
this site is not usable for the mac:

director/director -r
file:///tmp/buckminster/ch.test.site.feature_1.0.0-eclipse.f eature/site.p2/
-i ch.test.product -d /home/kup/tmp/testapp -p2.os macosx -p2.ws cocoa
-p2.arch x86_64
Installing ch.test.product 1.0.0.201009030849-679-cLSJ--8s73533C6F1IoLCHeF.
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=/home/kup/tmp/testapp,
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.pha ses.Collect,
operand=, action=).
No repository found containing:
binary,ch.test.product.executable.cocoa.macosx.x86_64,1.0.0. 201009030849-679-cLSJ--8s73533C6F1IoLCHeF
Application failed, log file location:
/home/kup/director/configuration/1283496642578.log

I am now going to test the example in the book...

The example from Chapter 16 "Building RCP Products" doesn't produce
runnable applications. It doesn't generate launchers (for any platform).
I suppose that the reason is that the project doesn't include the
org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature.

Peter

The product shouldn't need that feature. The launchers should be installed anyway if they are present in the TP.

Please file a bugzilla if you think the example from the book is incorrect.

Thomas, the issue with the book is an easy one as it is working when the
executable feature is included somewhere. But I would really like to see
some workaround or an idea for a workaround that we can use a mac
version. Some of our customers and many of my team members have macs and
can no longer use the new buckminster nightly builds...

Hendrik, I don't know exactly what you are doing to get e working mac
product (albeit with a slight defect in the icons) but it surely must be
something completely different from what the bucky book is talking about.

Regards,
Peter

This was actually https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323907
And it is fixed with rev 11577.
