Know issues

1. default homebrew's Qt 5.8 will build CARTA successfully, but the final packaged can not be runnable on other macs.

2. The Qt 5.8 version which is from Qt installer, will fail to build QWT !!

Build: Qt 5.7 installed from Qt installer + Prebuilt QtWebkit Preview 4 on Mac 10.12 is OK, except regionDS9 is not working.

Target

This is mainly for packaging CARTA and deploy, but it is OK to setup development environment at once, instead of following step by step in https://github.com/CARTAvis/carta/.

Step1:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CARTAvis/carta/upgradeToNewNamespace/carta/scripts/ci_mac.sh

Step2: Use "~/cartahome" as your carta working directory

sudo sh ./ci_mac.sh Then it will be: ~/cartahome/CARTAvis will be the git downloaded folder of CARTA.

Step2-2: Use other places as the download folder. If it is $WhereYouWant, append as the 1st parameter

sudo sh ./ci_mac.sh $WhereYouWant

The other optional parameters you can directly modify the ci_mi.sh script. We may supply the script's parameters way

Qt library path, we use homebrew's Qt5.8 by default, it will download automatically.

export QT5PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.8.0_2

Or you can use Qt installer to install the version you want, then change the this QT5PATH in the script, the execute this script. e.g. export QT5PATH=~/Qt/5.8/clang_64

Put build folder inside source code folder, change it if you prefer other places.

export CARTABUILDHOME=$cartawork/CARTAvis/build

Which version of prebuilt QtWebkit it use, the default:

export qtwebkit=qtwebkit-tp5-qt58-darwin-x64 

If you want to change to use different version, two things:

1. change the path here, `wget https://github.com/annulen/webkit/releases/download/qtwebkit-tp5/$qtwebkit.tar.xz`, such as `https://github.com/annulen/webkit/releases/download/qtwebkit-tp4/qtwebkit-tp4-qt57-darwin.tar.xz`
2. `use export qtwebkit=qtwebkit-tp4-qt57-darwin`

Final app/dmg will be in /tmp/

What this script install

Some libraries are installed by the global way, some are in the $WhereYouWant/CARTAvis-externals/ThirdParty, so most of them are in your own local folder. So if you choose different places to build for the next time, the results are independent.

The globally installed libraries:

1. GSL (/usr/local)
2. libsakura (/usr/local)
3. All homebrew packages (/usr/local/opt/), but they are installed very soon.

Remove the debug pause function

I setup some breakpoint(pause) to check each step, you can comment this line to let the script not stop

function pause(){
  ## read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue"
}

Which libraries need a long time to build or download

1. Build Macports' flex
2. Build GSL from its source code
3. Build CARTA
4. others (e.g. download the source code of casa libs)
