Bug report #4297

Cmake file on MacOS is biased to use KyngChaos binaries regardless of user preferences

Added by vince - over 12 years ago. Updated over 8 years ago.

Status:Closed
Priority:Normal

Category:Build/Install

Pull Request or Patch supplied:No Resolution:fixed/implemented
Crashes QGIS or corrupts data:No Copied to github as #:14234

Description

The CMake configure file of QGis 1.7 has a lot of special blocks for the Apple platform that override any command line preferences when they detect KyngChaos precompiled binaries. These blocks must be deleted in order for QGis to compile smoothly on other MacOS environments (MacPorts, maybe Fink also).

Please add a dedicated switch to enable/disable use of those frameworks/binaries, rather than unconditionally enabling them and then overriding user choices.
Thanks a lot!

I am looking into using CMake's new-ish BundleUtilites (docs, example) to update the Mac install scripts, with an emphasis on ensuring that any support lib setup can be utilized, e.g. Homebrew, Macports, etc.

Hello, bug triage...

are you still affected by this bug ? I think that there has been an heavy work on the Mac OS port of QGIS and it is not sure that the compilation process has references to other binaries.

Can anyone confirm this bug can be closed now ?

#8 Updated by vince - over 8 years ago

Yes. This one has been fixed all right–you can close it. However, I have another gripe with the current CMakeFile of QGis 2.12, but I suppose I should open a new bug.

Thanks for the amount of work put in the successive releases. Good job guys!
