What OS will this work on?

Can everyone post up what OS they have successfully installed this onto?

There no mention of what OS to use in the PDF, so I thought the limiting factors would be the presence of the apache and mysql etc etc.

But, I can't find a gtk install for my Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.3 so I can't install it.

Does anyone know where I can find a gtk install for Mac that I can use?

Apache seems to be the likely candidate.

Re: What OS will this work on?

Thanks for getting back to me zerostar

I've come into this very recently, only after they released the Open Source Platform.

It's been a frustrating experience as I think there's probably a lot of information about the open source platform in the Wiki's, that isn't linked to anywhere in the Open Source Release Page.  Follow the link on the left to the wikis, there's no section in the Wikis about the platform that you can find on the front page, follow your nose and you end up back on the page you started from.

What operating systems that are recommended to be used should be in the README file, or on a page on the web in the Open Source section.

Here's all the problems I've had installing it on Leopard, giving up now, going to try installing it on Ubuntu.

This platform has been released too early, with no proper support in place and the documentation is lacking.

It's almost as if you don't want people to build their own facebook sites :-)

1.  The suggested download for glib in the pdf, http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources … .6.tar.gz,
is downloading an unexpandable file, so got a different one from http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/misc/glib-2.14.6.tar.gz


2.fontconfig-2.3.97 failed with this error

In file included from fcatomic.c:50:
fcint.h:51:21: error: fcalias.h: No such file or directory
fcatomic.c:215:25: error: fcaliastail.h: No such file or directory

make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
Running "make" within the "fontconfig-2.3.97" subdirectory failed with error code 512.  Aborting script...

Found a updated fontconfig-2.6.0  from http://fontconfig.org/release/fontconfig-2.6.0.tar.gz
and edited build_all.py appropriately

3.  The pango bz2 file in your pdf http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/ … .4.tar.bz2
is not a proper bz2 file

used this one instead

http://laotzu.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sour … .4.tar.bz2

4.  gtk failed with this error

s.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/gtkprintbackendcups.o
gtkprintbackendcups.c: In function ‘cups_dispatch_watch_check’:
gtkprintbackendcups.c:531: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

PDF instructions here say to use this one ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.10/gtk+-2.10.13.tar.bz2

I'm trying this one, ,">http://kambing.ui.edu/gnome/sources/gtk+/2.10/?C=N;Obig_smile, nope, wont install.
