Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X and KDE Frameworks.


Changes
-------

Update/nudge, and fix of 2 small errors in the CMake files


Repository: kinit


Description
-------

This patch addresses several issues with the OS X adaptations:

-1 replaces the obsolete Q_OS_MAC with Q_OS_OSX
-2 builds the relevant applications `nongui` instead of as app bundles
-3 turns klauncher into an "agent" by setting `LSUIElement` to true 
programmatically
-4 ports a patch that has been in MacPorts' `port:kdelibs4` since October 14th 
2009, which prevents a kdeinit crash that is caused by calling exec after 
`fork()` in an application that has used non-POSIX APIs and/or calling those 
APIs in the exec'ed application. This patch (originally by MacPorts developers 
Jeremy Lainé and Jeremy Lavergne) rearranges call order and uses a proxy 
application to do the actual exec.

Testing
-------

On OS X 10.9.5 with Qt 5.5.1 and KF5rameworks 5.16.0 as well as Qt 5.6 and 
5.20.0 . With this patch, starting `kded5` will launch kdeinit5 and klauncher5 
as expected, but `kdeinit5 --kded` does not yet launch `kded5`. This is 
probably acceptable for typical KF5 use on OS X (kded5 can be launched as a 
login item or as a LaunchAgent) but I will have another look at why the kded 
isn't started.

I am not yet able to perform further testing; practice will for instance have 
to show whether point 2 above needs revision (apps that need to be installed as 
app bundles).

Similarly it will have to be seen whether point 3 above has any drawbacks. 
Applications running as agents do not show up in the Dock or App Switcher. 
Thus, klauncher will not be able to "turn itself into" an application that does 
have a full GUI presence with my current modification. I don't know if that's 
supposed to be possible though.
NB: I have been building the KDE4 klauncher in a way that makes it impossible 
to construct a GUI at all, so I'm not expecting issues in KF5 as long as 
klauncher's role hasn't evolved too much.


Thanks,

René J.V. Bertin
