Introduction
Thanks to Andreas Vox and Craig Ringer, recent Scribus compiles straight from CVS on Mac/Aqua. Andreas Vox plans to organize a preview binary bundle which can be simply dropped into the system. If some daring alpha testers use it and report all errors to the developers, we might have a fully functional Aqua version when 1.3.0 final comes out. :-)
Scribus 1.3.0cvs is not for production use. The current build on Mac/Aqua has some problems of its own:
- not all fonts are accessible
- dialogs behave strangely (no close button, menu disappears, ...)
- Aqua buttons need more space than X11 ones, that causes layout problems, notably with the page selector.
- colors are wrong for images in page preview
- it's not really tested, so there may be much more
Installation
What to do
1. Install Qt/Mac (not the X version!)
2. Install Freetype 2. We recommend to build it yourself with "./configure --enable-old-mac-fonts"
3. Install Fontconfig 2
4. Check that "freetype-config" and "pkgconfig fontconfig" report those libraries.
5. Install libart, lcms, libtiff, libjpeg, and libpng via fink.
6. Checkout Scribus 1.3 from cvs or use a snapshot
7. Set some environment variables: QTDIR=/absolut/path/to/qt/dir CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/lib LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS QTDIR
8. run "make -f Makefile.cvs"
9. unpack the Scribus.app skeleton
10. run "./configure --enable-mac --enable-bundle --enable-debug \ --prefix=/absoute/path/to/Scripus.app/Contents/ \ --with-extra-libs=/sw/lib --with-extra-includes=/sw/include" ** --enable-debug is mandatory since ld chokes on '-s' when linking modules ** either CPP/LDFLAGS or --extra-include/libs might be superflous but I didn't try that 11. make 12. make install 13. open Scribus.app :-)
You can also do it the old way: - leave out "--enable-bundle" in step 10 and choose another prefix - copy scribus/scribus to /absoute/path/to/Scripus.app/Contents/MacOS/scribus
Some caveats
- some dialogs don't have a close button, ESC usually works though
- Preview shows wrong colors for images
- some fonts might not work
