It also seems that using Carbon instead of Cocoa is more realistic for this project, so we'll primarily look into Carbon now.

'''06.05:''' We now have a graphical version of ES 5.7 running on OS X (both ppc and intel). The problem was with the fontconfig libraray: The 2.3.2 version seems to crash where the 2.2.3 works fine. There are still a few problems with fonts sizes though...

From what Jann tells me self compilation is also no problem anymore so we can really start hacking the beast now.

'''30.4''': We have EiffelStudio compiled for ppc and running on ppc and intel macs. The Gtk+ GUI works more or less but some things (like wizards) are missing atm.

It required a lot of hacking and we're now trying to get newer builds, and streamline the process for getting a build on the mac.

I think the next goal should be to get a self-compiling version of ec so that we can skip building the f_code on linux and then adopt the build-script.

Eiffel Studio binaries for Mac OS X

Right now there is only a PPC build. A Intel build will hopefully follow soon.

Readme

IMPORTANT: Before compiling projects with Eiffel Studio do a "sudo gcc_select 3.3".
The C code generated by Eiffel Studio might not work properly if compiled with gcc 4.

Requirements

Installation

Extract the Eiffel57 directory from the tar.bz2 file anywhere you like, and set up your environment accordingly.

Environment

Eiffel Studio needs several environment variables in order to work properly. I suggest you put them into your .bashrc and .profile file in your home directory. (on my system .bashrc is a symlink to .profile)

You need to define the following variables: 

export ISE_PLATFORM=macosx-ppc
export ISE_EIFFEL=<PATH TO YOUR Eiffel57 directory e.g. /Developer/Applications/Eiffel57>
export EIFFEL_SRC=<PATH TO YOUR EIFFEL SVN CHECKOUT, only needed if you want to compile ES yourself>
export ISE_LIBRARY=$EIFFEL_SRC
export GOBO=$ISE_EIFFEL/library/gobo # Only needed if you want to use gobo

export PATH=$PATH:$ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin:$GOBO/bin

Running Eiffel Studio

Enter "estudio" in a X-Term window. Make sure that your darwin ports installation is in your path.

Known issues

  • Precompilation doesn't work

Hints

  • Use Helvetica 12 as Editor font
  • Click and Pull works with Apple-key + mouse click
