add OSX support #29

tildebyte · 2018-02-21T03:47:24Z

I know, I know, OSX isn't supported. Guess what; with all of the prereqs installed (and the fix for High Sierra's idiotically broken hostname handling[1]), it starts and runs just fine!

EXCEPT

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gnomecast.py", line 775, in <module>
    main()
  File "gnomecast.py", line 772, in main
    caster.run()

    pixbuf = GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_stream(f, None)
GLib.Error: gdk-pixbuf-error-quark: Unrecognized image file format (3)

Cool thing: comment out all calls to get_logo_pixbuf (simplest workaround), and it works like a charm.

[1] Pro tip: put your hostname in /etc/hosts at the end of the localhost line, e.g.

127.0.0.1   localhost    Fubar    Fubar.local

What happens if you install librsvg with homebrew: brew install librsvg

tildebyte · 2018-02-23T19:47:54Z

Beauty! brew librsvg as well as the adwaita theme, for icons, and it's good!

fiendish · 2018-02-23T19:50:43Z

Awesome! You mentioned that you had to install prereqs. Would you be willing to make a note with full setup instructions for making it work on macos? I know a few people who would appreciate having it written out.

tildebyte · 2018-02-23T21:25:02Z

I was afraid that you might say that >_>
I tend to do a lot of goofing around with this and that, so I don't know exactly what the prereqs are.

However, these:

The localhost fix for Sierra and later
Py 3K!
homebrew
- ffmpeg, obviously (which was already present)
- librsvg (obviously)
- gtk+3 (I believe that this was already present)
- pygobject3 (brew install pygobject3 --with-python3 gtk+3: this should also install gtk+3 if not present)
- adwaita-icon-theme
pip3
- pychromecast
- pycaption
- html5lib (and the update)

It's messy, but since homebrew doesn't provide pychromecast/pycaption/html5lib, it's not possible to brew everything.

keredson · 2018-02-23T23:38:22Z

does homebrew provide pip? or can pip be run?

awesome to hear that it does work on mac.

keredson · 2018-02-23T23:38:48Z

found this: https://py2app.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ maybe we could create a standalone build.

pchaganti · 2018-02-24T13:44:55Z

👍

pchaganti · 2018-02-24T13:58:43Z

To run on OSX

brew update
brew install ffmpeg python3 pygobject3 --with-python3 gtk+3 librsvg adwaita-icon-theme 
sudo pip3 install gnomecast
sudo pip3 install --upgrade html5lib==1.0b8

tildebyte · 2018-02-24T19:44:14Z

@keredson Homebrew's Python install(s) provide pip (as @pchaganti pointed out). I don't have much experience app-ifying Python code, but I understand that it works pretty well.

@pchaganti LOL, I forgot about pip-install taking care of dependencies - I ran it straight from the repo, so I did everything manually.

As an added data point; Homebrew compiles Py3k, but it's very fast (single digit minutes) on my MBP, which ain't even the greatest, so the total install time isn't horrible

tildebyte · 2018-02-24T20:23:32Z

Not to overload this thread too much (maybe a new issue just for OSX support?), but it looks like pyinstaller is a better option.

Right now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to include librsvg as a dependency; otherwise it seems to work without much configuration at all.

keredson · 2018-02-24T23:07:24Z

pyinstaller looks promising too. if someone wants to test it and post the build instructions they used i'll be happy to incorporate.

FYI, just tried pip3 install gnomecast on OSX, and immediately hit the below error

 pip3 install gnomecast

tildebyte · 2018-03-23T20:52:51Z

'dbus' is a gnome desktop thing. You'll need to check in homebrew for that, iirc.

keredson · 2018-03-23T23:25:06Z

made a change so if dbus isn't around (like on osx) gnomecast will still run. (it just won't stop the screensaver from engaging.) released gnomecast-0.2.17. @kim0 @tildebyte

keredson · 2018-07-20T22:14:54Z

OMG i'm almost 3 hours now waiting for brew install ffmpeg python3 pygobject3 --with-python3 gtk+3 librsvg adwaita-icon-theme to finish. i feel like i'm back in gentoo!

keredson · 2018-07-21T04:10:38Z

well i'm at a loss as to how to bundle gnomecast into an osx binary. i've tried py2app, which errors. seems to be coded against a really old version of plistlib, and the API has changed. i also tried pyinstaller. this command:

pyinstaller gnomecast.py --windowed --clean --onefile

actually built an gnomecast.app. but it crashes when you try to run it.

anyone have an suggestions?

this is the resultant file: https://github.com/keredson/gnomecast/releases/tag/OSXv1.4.1

it crashes w/ a bunch of junk i don't understand. anyone who knows osx better than i do who wants to pitch in i'm all ears. :)

lsferreira42 · 2020-05-18T03:59:07Z

Is this something that we can continue to work?
I'm interested in fixing these bugs and get it running on osx

tildebyte · 2020-05-21T01:52:24Z

Sorry, in the interim I got re-interested in gaming, so had to trade (notice that I don't necessarily say "up" ;p ) to a Windows laptop.

@keredson That pyinstaller log looks weirdly like it's trying to build a Windows app (mentions both 'exe' and 'dll')...

pyinstaller claims that it's only even possible to build for the platform/Python version it's run under 🤔

Some of the output from the crashy app might be helpful? If it's too big to post here, maybe Google Docs/Dropbox/et al.?
