Introduction
Thanks to Andreas Vox and Craig Ringer, recent Scribus compiles straight from CVS on Mac/Aqua. Andreas Vox periodically delivers updated preview binary bundles which can be simply dropped into the system — please download it from Scribus on Aqua/Mac OS X. Remember to report all errors to the Scribus bug submission website.
Scribus 1.3.Xcvs is not for production use. The current build on Mac/Aqua has some problems of its own:
- It's slow (Part of this may be to do with menus, part is the sub-optimal canvas code)
- Dialogs behave strangely (no close button, menu disappears, ...)
- Focus problems with Edit mode (use toolbar button instead of double-click)
- Aqua buttons need more space than X11 ones, that causes layout problems, notably with the page selector.
- Needs a special freetype build to access native Mac fonts.
- 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 or using darwinports command ("sudo port install xxx")
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. make sure you have gcc/g++ 3.3 and not gcc/g++ 4.0 which comes with Tiger by default.
11. 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 12. make 13. make install 14. 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
other problems that might occur
- First of all the compiler, for me g++-4.0 didn't work so I had to symlink /usr/bin/g++ to /usr/bin/g++3
- Qt 3.3.4 can be found as binary package at http://naranja.umh.es/~atg/software.html
- Python might miss the /usr/lib/libpython2.3.a the solution is a symlink to /usr/lib/libpython2.3.dylib
Some caveats
- Some dialogs don't have a close button, ESC usually works though.
- Preferences and About dialogs are now in menu "scribus"!
- This is by design. It's done automatically by Qt to fit MacOS/X interface standards. "NOTABUG".
