Hi, Chad
I also thought this since I'm using Mac OS as my desktop since four
month ago. For now, my solution is running a Linux in VMware Fusion
and ssh to it (with X forwarded) and display hb_gui window through
X11.app on my Mac desktop.
I think to compile hb_gui on Mac OS, the GUI part (python, glade)
maybe not a big problem. But hb_gui understand Heartbeat networking
protocol by load heartbeat libs, this may caused much part of
heartbeat itself being compiled into Mac dylibs. It will be a hard
hack since heartbeat haven't been ported onto Mac platform.
Since I'm a Lisp programmer, I did have a plan for this: re-write
heartbeat mgmt protocol in pure lisp (by learning ha source code or
the protocol spec if existed) and make a new GUI client based on
LispWorks/CAPI and CLIM. This will result a really OS-portable
heartbeat client with almost no external library depended. My only
problem is that I don't know how to get heartbeat protocol details
other than read heartbeat source code or try to capture hb_gui's
network packets by Wireshark.
--binghe
has anybody built the heartbeat GUI client for OSX?
looking at the dependencies, it looks like it should be fairly easy
to do. i'd really prefer to just build the GUI client instead of
trying to build the entire heartbeat package, but i'm unsure how to
do that. if anybody has an pointers on how to accomplish this, i'd
love to hear them!
even better would be a heartbeat-gui Fink package, but that's just
me dreaming ;)
