Synfig Project Forum

I know there has been a lot of confusion with failing builds on the Mac version, but there is some very cool new stuff going on in the homebrew source that might make this more possible. See this recent comment: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues ... nt-1380887 There have also been related discussions on the mailing list.

secondplanet, any update on the installer, did I miss it?
thanks

Sorry everyone, I've been delayed and still haven't uploaded the new Synfig.

Here's the story:
* Apple releases Mac OS X Lion
* Therefore, lots of things break
* Including the fact that I can't get the new GCC because it is provided by Apple
* But then—this morning "GCC w/out Apple" was released! https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer

So I still need to check out that last one, it seems to good to be true. A bigger problem is I can't turn on my computer right now.

However, I have a roadmap for what I would like to achieve in the next version:
* Native OS X support (see the Homebrew discussion thread https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/1442), which seems very close as it has been done with GIMP
* Mac OS X Lion integration—integration with the Finder, scrollbars, etc
* Standalone disk image— a portable application that can be brought on to one machine or another
* Write a working installation script that is reusable, so it is prepared for later versions, like this http://github.com/msms/kod

Now, I would be extremely happy if this could all get done.

One question for the staff: When I build the binaries for the new version and distribute, should they be Intel-only (because thats what is new) or Universal (but that will be slower)

Why don't both?

Like a separate PPC and Intel binary? That could work.

Yay! Success, apparently. Synfig Studio was pulled into the main Homebrew yesterday, after several months of waiting. This means that it builds on other machines with the latest updates to the dependencies. So now I only need to do two things:

* update the Homebrew package to 0.63 (the Homebrew team is much quicker at pulling updates than new stuff, from my experience)
* build a binary so it can be distributed on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel Macs (I've managed to find people who can test both)

I'll tell you when I update the Homebrew package, it should be just a matter of changing the numbers around. For now though,



Installs Synfig and all of it's dependencies.

Good news, secondplanet! ^___^

Fine, secondplanet! Working nice with changing the numbers in the update package! Never have been so cheered )

Hi there,

I hope some one can help me. Thanks.

I'm trying to get in the open source world and I was glad to find Synfig as solution for animation.

Well, I'm using a macbook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and there is no way I can install. I tried the binary and I get" Installation failed" The Installer ecountered a error that caused the installation to fail..."

Then I tried the long way. Well, I followed the steps in page
http://wiki.synfig.org/wiki/Dev:Buildin ... and_X11.29

And every thing worked fine until I entered the command
brew install synfigstudio

That what I got...

Hello Secondplanet

Thank you for your efforts I have tried to install Synfig on my macbook pro but I have failed so far.

3,06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 10.7 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

When I tried via Homebrew I got this at the end.

Error: Failed executing: make install
If `brew doctor' does not help diagnose the issue, please report the bug:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/c ... -new-issue
msgr-00-estet-bild:~ mathias$ brew doctor
We couldn't detect gcc 4.2.x. Some formulae require this compiler.
NOTE: Versions of XCode newer than 4.2 don't include gcc 4.2.x.

I hope this is helpful in solving the problem.

Hi. Trying to install synfig for mac.

Mac info:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)

No success, and not very far along in the process:
see attachment image.

Tried install based on your first post. Got the rb files.
Tried to $brew install etl
error: Error: Failed executing: ./configure --disable-debug --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/etl/0.04.14
If `brew doctor' does not help diagnose the issue, please report the bug:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/c ... -new-issue
We saved the configure log, please gist it if you report the issue:
~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/config.log

me thought it was a git problem. Looked it up on mac build instructions.
typed: brew install git
result: Error: Failed executing: make prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/git/1.7.8 install

Now I'm more lost than ever. Since I'm a total cmmdline noob, I was wondering is this a problem with homebrew or is this a problem with - Oh. I don't know what I'm asking. Can an expert-mode person tell me what is going on.

This software looks awesome and I want it. please.
Any help would make me an extremely happy camper.
