I'm happy to try that but why can't my install find the rule for fetch-translations?

That got it going.

It would be nice to figure out what is happening because I would like to be able to build from the unaltered scripts.

Thanks for your help.

Yes that is the better question, because it should be in the git. Mine is working, I will need to ask Jasem.

by the way, I just added sounds to the cmake build script. Please test that.

I just spent a couple of hours fixing a number of issues in the script so that it functions more smoothly. I fixed the cpanm URI problem that the script was not able to set before and had to be done manually. I updated the Mac kde repo from haraldf to mac-kde to reflect a recent name change in the repo. I removed several fixes that were put in place before because the errors they were meant to fix have now been resolved. I updated the home-brew qt5 dependency edit that Jamie had put in the script to reflect the new name for the qt5 package (now just qt). I added a line for the command line tools in case you don't have them installed. and I corrected the creation of a link to gpg. This was all after I edited the sounds.

Please test the new script. It ran much more smoothly and faster than before.
Be sure to

delete ~/Astroroot

since craft/cmake store caches for the locations of different packages, some of which have changed versions or names.

And finally, I would recommend cleaning out the old versions of the haraldf-kf5 files since the repo changed names. The "new" files could conflict with the old ones. I just went ahead and wiped everything in home-brew and let the script reinstall it all.

brew remove --force --ignore-dependencies $(brew list)

Of course if you have other packages installed in home-brew that are not related to kstars, then this would delete them too. Be careful.

The cmake, craft, and Xcode builds should all work now, and with sounds.

I'm having the same problem with the failing translations...

Hi deisenlord,

Try building the cmake version first, then the craft version can copy translations. Craft cannot build translations yet.

Thanks,

Rob

Perfect, will give it a shot tonight. Thanks!

I'm having an issue with the build again. I did everything you mentioned in your post including removing all the kf5 stuff from homebrew. But now I am having an issue getting the new kf5 stuff to compile, mainly because of phonon not compiling. I notice that one of the issues it references is yours. What is the trick to get the build working again?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,

It was fine a week ago, but they must have made some changes recently to either the phonon code or to the homebrew recipe that makes it not build now, at least for the cmake version. I ran into the same problem yesterday. I reported the issue on the kde-mac github repo earlier this evening and we will have to wait and see if they fix it soon. Perhaps the craft version still works since it uses a very different method to build it. Do you want to try that?

Thanks,

Rob

Rob,

I can try to craft method if you give me some pointers on how to get it going.

Eric
