Hi,

when I try to launch gmailvault, I've got the following :

~/Downloads/gmvault-v1.0-beta/bin $ ./gmvault 
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../.Python
  Referenced from: /Users/jp/Downloads/gmvault-v1.0-beta/bin/../lib/python-lib/bin/python
  Reason: image not found
./gmvault: line 43:   569 Trace/BPT trap          $PYTHON_BIN /tmp/rnpicker.bootstrap.$$ $ARGS

MacOSX 10.6.8

No wonder...
The included framework wants Python 2.7 wereas Snow Leopard has 2.6.

[jpoa]

Ok, this is retarded but it works.

Again, I know this is retarded.

Install this:

http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/python-2.7.2-macosx10.6.dmg

Open a terminal and do this:

sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/

I have a small idea that this is a bad thing to do, but it's working, I just need to backup my account, so I'm happy.

[jpcaruana]

ok thanks, I'll try this

@jpcaruana @jpoa I am preparing a proper installation for Mac OS X. Can I recontact you to test it when it is ready ?

[jpoa]

Hey @gaubert of course!

Thanks for the feedback!

[jpcaruana]

of course ! I'd be glad to help !

[gaubert]

@jpcaruana @jpoa I have a new version (1.5-beta) package for Mac OSX ready to be tested.
You can download it from here : http://bit.ly/JTiys0

This is a completely different packaging. I create a binary mac app from the python program. Could you please test it and let me if it works on your Mac. I think it should at least work on OSX 10.7 and 10.6 (may be other to be tested).
I have tested on 10.7 (Lion) that I have but cannot test on 10.6 so @jpcaruana you seem to have 10.6 so I would be particularly interested in having your feedback.

If you have problem please send me the logs (console print outs or gmvault.log file created when --debug is activated).

Again many thanks for you help.

Greetings @gaubert

I have downloaded the new version and it works flawlessly (still fetching some emails, but it appears to be working well).

This was with 10.6, and I have removed the link to python 2.7, so it should work out of the box on a clean system.

Well done and thank you!

How is the new beta supposed to be installed on the Mac?

[joshkerr]

Nevermind, figured it out.

[gaubert]

@joshkerr, download, untar and go to GMVAULT_HOME/bin and run ./gmvault

@jpoa so you were on 10.6 and it worked flawlessly. Super very happy about that. The Mac dist seems much more stable.

Many thanks for you help

[gaubert]

fixed in 1.5-beta

@jpcaruana @joshkerr @jpoa Hey guys, I am looking for some testers on Mac OSX. I've trying to build a 32/64 bits compliant version. Would you be so kind to test the following one for me and let me know if it runs on your Macs.
The new version 1.6-dev is available here: http://bit.ly/LVgqzk
Let me know if you plan to test it. Many thanks

[jpoa]

System Software Overview:

System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No

(As you probably know, by default Snow Leopard boots the 32-bit kernel to ensure compatibilities)

Anyway, GMVault is working flawlessly :)

[gaubert]

@jpoa You are talking about the last version available here http://bit.ly/LVgqzk that embeds 32 and 64 bits ?
Thanks

[jpoa]

Yes I am :)

[gaubert]

Great many thanks for the testing session.
