Current Building Notes
- Look into how Tomboy handles the mac port
- develop similar implementation for smuxi
Current status getting port running
Dev Mac needs X-Code
Dev Mac Needs MacPorts
- Dev Mac needs Git (I'm using Tower)
- Installing Prereqs (Incomplete)
- Need to install libtool, intltool gettext
- From Terminal: sudo port install libtool gettext intltool
- This will build the required libs and all dependencies.
- Pull down git repository
- Modify autogen.sh to use glibtool and glibtoolize (vs libtool and libtoolize)
- export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig
- Download log4net and Nini
[ISSUE] Need to figure out how to install log4net and nini so that autogen picks them up!!!
Manually build the pkg-config scripts for log4net & nini
- run the autogen.sh script
Experimental OS X Version
- Requires Mono installation:
Smuxi 0.8: http://www.smuxi.org/jaws/data/files/experimental/smuxi-0.8-osx.zip
Mac UI Changes
- GLOBAL MENU BAR
- Yes, it's worth yelling over.
See what MonoDevelop does
- File menu can thus be completely removed
File->Preferences becomes Smuxi->Preferences
File->Quit becomes Smuxi->Quit
Unless there's some ability to File->Open/view log files...there's no need for File anymore.
- Support OSX Keyboard Shortcuts
- Basically amounts to "Emacs-lite" in text fields
- Ctrl-a = beginning of line, Ctrl-e = end of line, etc.
- Don't bother with M- shortcuts, as OSX alt/option is used for inputting non-ASCII chars
- Use Command instead of Control, so Cmd-w instead of Ctrl-w to close windows.
- Allow Command+{ and Command+} to cycle between tabs ({ for left, } for right)
This is what MacVim & Terminal do for tab switching.
- Allow Command+Up and Command+Down to cycle between tabs as well, for left-oriented tabs.
- Colloquy uses this to switch between channels
Alt+Arrow should move between words, e.g. Alt+LeftArrow = move back one word
- Basically amounts to "Emacs-lite" in text fields
