realpath on mac about apothecary HOT 11 CLOSED

yeah that would be useful, wget is also needed

from apothecary.

I wonder if we could avoid using realpath for OS X?
adding a requirement to have brew installed seems like an extra step that might not be needed.

For wget OS X equivalent is:
curl -O <url>

@Daandelange where in the script are you getting the error?

from apothecary.

@ofTheo On every line where realpath is called in apothecary/apothecary a line error is thrown saying the execution failed, ending up in a (weird?) failure message. Also, the setting variables are not set.

$ ./apothecary update core
./apothecary: line 111: realpath: command not found
./apothecary: line 112: realpath: command not found
./apothecary: line 113: realpath: command not found

Alternatively I found a series of replacement-functions to realpath and some more.
There's also a more lightweight dependency : realpath-osx

from apothecary.

@ofTheo this scripts now run on the test servers so we won't need to run them locally most of the time. realpath is really useful to figure out some things and wget is usually more reliable than curl since it retries a certain number of times and in the case of linux is always there by default while you have to manually install curl so if we changed it we would need to install curl for every other platform anyway.

btw, @Daandelange why are you trying to run apothecary locally? all the libraries are now automatically compiled whenever something changes and can be found here: http://ci.openframeworks.cc/libs

from apothecary.

@arturoc - ahh that makes sense. in that case its not a huge ask, if most of the time it won't be needed to be run locally. Also didn't realize how many places the realpath was used in.
Totally agree then!

Maybe just add a note in the ReadMe or a setup script as @Daandelange suggests.
Cheers!!

Note: I just noticed there's an osx install script in /scripts/osx/install.sh already installing coreutils. :)
Closing this issue.

from apothecary.

I'd like to re-open this. For situations where we have addons that require custom ofx add-on builds that use apothecary, we need to have a little easier support for people who don't have the full master branch cloned. Possible solutions:

• Replace realpath and wget
• Include scripts/osx/install.sh in the distribution version of OS X

By the way, I'm also missing realpath on linux / OS X builds when I use the addons/ci scripts, so this would solve that problem too.

from apothecary.

as @Daandelange noted when closing the issue there's already a scripts/osx/install.sh script that installs the necessary bits. isn't that enough? this tools are used cause they are much more reliable than the alternatives so i don't think substituting them is a good idea.

from apothecary.

Got it. I was looking in the openFrameworks/scripts/osx dir.
