Subject: [Caml-list] Aqua ocamlbrowser on Mac OS X
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2004 11:11:25 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42856FC8-58D8-11D8-A224-003065BDAA76@ece.ucsb.edu> (raw)
Following Trevor's suggestions (see
http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200211/msg00163.html) I am now able to
get *my* labltk programs to run in native Mac OS X Aqua mode (using
TclTkAquaBI-8.4.5.0.dmg from
http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/TclTkAqua/). Thanks, Trevor!!
What follows is what I did to get ocamlbrowser to run as a native Aqua
app. First I followed Trevor's suggestions. That did not work if I
double-clicked on Ocamlbroswer.app. I then tried from the command line
open -a Ocamlbrowser
That at least let ocamlbrowser display its error message that the
options to the command line were at fault. All the Console showed in
the log was a dreaded "RegisterProcess failed (error -50)" message.
So I edited the source file ..../otherlibs/labltk/browser/main.ml and
essentially commented out the command line argument parsing step. I did
"make" and moved the new binary into OCamlbrowser.app/Contents/MacOS/
and everything works pretty nicely now. The only problem I have noticed
is that clicking in the scroll bar does not work. You have to catch the
scroll-button and move it with the mouse. Everything else seems to work
too.
If somebody needs the modified source I can email it. I hope some
similar hack can make labltk work too.
To make this complete we must find some way of passing the command line
options, but that is for somebody else to do.
