Important: Information is for SOPE 4.2 and pre-OGo 1.0a, so it might be outdated!

TODO: write much more, move info to MacOSX porting page ...

Status

Track the porting work on the MacOSX Port Project Page.
As usual, you can use the OGo ChangeBLogger to track the CVS changes.

Limitations

Some things do not work yet ...

GNUstep Snapshot

In case you get sent a snapshot of a GNUstep tree with an OGo installation, you probably need to fix up some pathes inside the snapshot. The most important thing is the GNUstep.sh file, which must be sourced prior starting any OGo tool compiled for the GNUstep environment (not for Xcode products of course).

You find GNUstep.sh in Makefiles/GNUstep.sh or Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh. Locate those variables and fix the paths to point to your snapshot:

GNUSTEP_ROOT=/Users/helge/GNUstep
GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=/Users/helge/GNUstep
GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT=/Users/helge/GNUstep
GNUSTEP_NETWORK_ROOT=/Users/helge/GNUstep

As you can see, I usually place all the roots in a single location. Makes a lot of things easier, like building a snapshot of everything ;-)

Besides this, you also need to add proper links to the Resources and WebServerResources files inside your OGo source tree:

lrwx Resources -> /Users/helge/dev/OpenGroupware.org/WebUI/Resources
lrwx WebServerResources -> /Users/helge/dev/OpenGroupware.org/Themes/WebServerResources

PostgreSQL

To install I used the instructions and packages provided by this website: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/.

If PostgreSQL is up and running (of course you can also connect to a PostgreSQL server running on some existing Linux host), you first need to modify the /usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf config file and enable the TCP/IP support in PostgreSQL. Restart PostgreSQL to make the change happen.

If you are done with that, proceed using the regular PostgreSQL install instructions: http://www.opengroupware.org/en/install/postgresql.html.

Apache

The configuration files for Apache live in /etc/httpd/ on Panther, you need to add similiar directives like on Linux. The Apache itself is enabled using the system preferences, go to Sharing and select the "Personal Web Sharing" checkbox.

Note: instead of playing with the Apache configuration, I just copied the Themes/WebServerResources directory to /Library/WebServer/Documents/ to avoid problems with permissions and everything.
Anyway, the setup would look roughly like that:

Alias /OpenGroupware10a.woa/WebServerResources \
"/Users/helge/dev/OpenGroupware.org/Themes/WebServerResources"
<Directory "/Users/helge/dev/OpenGroupware.org/Themes/WebServerResources">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

No attempt was done so far to compile the mod_ngobjweb module on Panther.

I was also required to setup some links due to gstep-make incompatibilities:

helge@dhcp-172-24-24-134$ find . -name "*DAVProp*"
./Library/Libraries/Resources/NGObjWeb/DAVPropMap.plist
helge@dhcp-172-24-24-134$ pwd
/Users/helge/GNUstep
helge@dhcp-172-24-24-134$ cd Libraries/
helge@dhcp-172-24-24-134$ ls
Adaptors
helge@dhcp-172-24-24-134$ ln -s ../Library/Libraries/Resources .

If you don't do that, libNGObjWeb will complain about not finding DAVPropMap.plist on startup.
