hi,
well, for the life of me, i do NOT know what's changed (i've been
building/rebuilding a lot!), but, atm, both
pinentry-qt-svn
pinentry-qt-v072
seem to launch correctly, and w/o BusError. i've tried to backtrack
my (mis)trials, but simply can't get it to mis-behave again. how i
love 'gremlins'! :-/
anyway, outstanding issues that remain:
(1) the qt pinentry dialog that pops up still fails to grap
mous/keyboard focus correctly. i can't enter a pin into the dialog,
and the cancel/ok buttons are nonfunctional.
the google-trail leads me to,
http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2006-05/thread00383-0.html
When compiled with the X11 version of qt under MacOS it behaves
correctly, but when compiled under qt-mac it has the problems
described at ...
and,
http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2003-03/thread00690-0.html
This is a FAQ. Native Mac apps must have an application bundle in
order to get a GUI event thread. There are some notes about this in
the documentation and the Qt examples build bundles on Mac.
which seem to indicated this is a known issue. the apparent
fix/workaround is to build pinentry-qt into a 'bundle'. the
referenced bundling howto is at,
http://doc.trolltech.com/qq/qq09-mac-deployment.html
but, after first attempt i've still got the same issues ...
investigating further
(2) pinentry's --prefix=DIR is NOT repected.
i.e., no matter _what_ the setting, 'make install' installs in /usr/local
(3) pinentry's 'bundled' assuan src is _old_.
it would be nice to be able to cleanly link pinentry-svn against an
external/local build of libassuan. atm, though, it's a rather messy
(and so far, unsuccessful ...) process.
honestly, not sure it will make a difference, other than to
consistency of environment ...
(4) pinentry-svn build/install complaines about a missing
'doc/version.texi', which does not seem to be in the src tree.
cp pinentry-0.7.2/doc/version.texi pinentry-svn/doc/version.texi
fixes the problem.
please let me know if there's anything i can do on my end to help.
thanks!
