Successfully installed on MacOS Catalina & Sierra

[benb0jangles]

Hi there,
I would like to share with you that I was successful in installing NOAA-APT on Both Macbook Pro 10.15 Catalina, but also on my iMac 10.12 Sierra.

My installed NOAA-APT 1.3.0 on catalina using this tutorial:
https://publiclab.org/notes/sashae/07-02-2020/how-to-compile-noaa-apt-1-2-0-on-mac

I had no problems.

However, my first try to install using iMac 10.12 Sierra I met errors due to outdated version of Homebrew error.
I succeeded by:
Copying FULL compiled 'noaa-apt-1.3.0' folder From my Macbook Pro 10.15 Catalina onto USB thumb drive
Copy folder from USB drive, to iMac 10.12 Sierra 'Downloads' folder
I ran:

cd Downloads/noaa-apt-1.3.0/
./target/release/noaa-apt

It would not run due to errors with 'harfbuzz'
So I ran:
brew upgrade harfbuzz

I ran again:

cd Downloads/noaa-apt-1.3.0/
./target/release/noaa-apt

This time success!

Small Note:
i still have font/icon/svg warning in Gtk-WARNING:

(<unknown>:47342): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:45:07.231: Error loading theme icon 'document-save-as' for stock: Icon 'document-save-as' not present in theme Adwaita

(<unknown>:47342): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:45:07.381: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/assets/check-symbolic.svg.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

(<unknown>:47342): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:45:07.394: Error loading theme icon 'document-save-as' for stock: Icon 'document-save-as' not present in theme Adwaita

But NOAA-APT 1.3.0 still runs fine

I tried using:
brew install adwaita-icon-theme

but not fix. But only minor thing.

Hope this Helps
:)

Thank you! This is good to know, because this means that you compiled it in Catalina and made it run in Sierra. I will add that in the website.

The Gtk-WARNINGs are common, and should not give problems. All the icons are included with the program, and maybe the worst thing could be that some icons will be missing

Happy to help. Thank you for the program, I like that I don't have to resample the wav file anymore 👍

Sorry I missed this. I think the problem must be that a file in the res/ folder is not found. This can be caused if the program is not run from the correct folder (which should have res/ inside). I guess you are running the program without the GUI, because you should have gotten the error earlier. In Linux, when this happens I get a more useful error:

2022-05-31T16:16:40.329Z INFO [noaa_apt::map] Drawing map overlay
2022-05-31T16:16:40.336Z ERROR [noaa_apt::gui::work] Could not load "./res/shapefiles/states.shp"

In your case it just says "No such file or directory (os error 2)", maybe it is because in MacOS the error looks different?

Can you try running the program again while making sure that you are running it from the correct folder? You should do something like:

cd Downloads/noaa-apt-1.3.0/
ls ./res/shapefiles
./target/release/noaa-apt

I added the command ls ./res/shapefiles to print the list of files in the folder where noaa-apt will search. You should see countries.shp, lakes.shp, README.txt and states.shp.
