photivo is a photo processor for handing RAW files.

The following instructions updates on those found on photivo wiki as they were written by user kwip. These were tested on Mac OS X Mountain Lion, but the final result should probably run on Lion as well.

Installing and setting a current gcc compiler

Get a recent gcc

photivo requires gcc >= 4.6, because it needs a good support of OpenMP. But Apple freezed its support of gcc at level 4.2.1, in favor of LLVM compilers.

Fortunately, you won't need building gcc yourself. You can find recent builds of gcc and gfortran, thanks to the High Performance Computing for Mac OS X project.

Go there, and download both gcc 4.7.1 and gfortran 4.7.1 (fortran is needed for building fftw). Follow the site's instructions, and these components will get installed in /usr/local.

Make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH, but is behind /usr/bin, where are located Apple Xcode's command line tools. This is the default. (We will see later how to make sure gcc 4.7 is called when needed.)

Improve on the standard gcc

Apple's gcc incorporates the -arch extension, which is especially useful for building fat binaries. When they detect that they are run on a Macintosh, many configuration scripts expect gcc to support this extension ; the problem is that it is not incorporated in the standard gcc trunk, nor in HPC builds.

Fortunately, John Bowers found some creative solutions to these shortcomings.

He uses MacPorts in his examples, but my hpcgccfixup is a transposition to HPC's gcc. Download it, and do the usual "./configure, make, make install" stuff.

Notes :

• you will need cmake if it is not installed yet on your system,
• in case of problem, compare the variables set at the beginning of the CMakeLists.txt file to the structure of the archives downloaded from HPC (the Zipeg utility might be handy to inspect the archives)

Get Qt

The following frameworks from Qt are needed :

• QtCore
• QtGui
• QtNetwork

I got them for the open source version of qt libraries 4.8.3 for Mac.

Build Gtk+ for MacOS X

Download gtk-osx-setup.sh to your home directory and run it:

sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh

If necessary, make ~/.local/bin added to your $PATH.

To tell jhbuild to use the 4.7 version of GCC, add these instructions at the end of the ~/.jhbuilrc-custom script :

os.environ["CC"] = "/usr/local/bin/gcc"
os.environ["OBJC"] = "/usr/local/bin/gcc"
os.environ["CXX"] = "/usr/local/bin/g++"
os.environ["F77"] = "/usr/local/bin/gfortran"

Now, do :

$jhbuild bootstrap
$jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
$jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core

In case of trouble, see https://live.gnome.org/GTK+/OSX/Building

Build dependancies

Important : enter a jhbuild environment by typing the command:

$jhbuild shell

Grab some GraphicsMagick delegates (FTP) :

• libpng
• tiff
• libjpeg
• lcms2

Grab other elements :

• fftw3
• liblqr

Build the above elements in the order they are listed, using for each of them the sequence :

$ ./configure  --prefix=/Users/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/gtk/inst --enable-shared  --disable-static
$ make
$ make install

(Replace YOURUSERNAMEHERE with your Unix user name).

Get and build lensfun :

$ ./configure  --prefix=/Users/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/gtk/inst
$ make
$ make install

Still under a jhbuild shell, get and build GraphicsMagick (FTP) :

$ ./configure  --prefix=/Users/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/gtk/inst --enable-shared --disable-static --without-x --without-bzlib --without-zlib --without-xml --with-quantum-depth=16
$ make
$ make install

Note : after the ./configure stage, I recommend you check that JPEG, TIFF and PNG supports are enabled. If not, you might have missed something from above.

For some reason, exiv2 is the single dependency which should not be build under jhbuild (it crashes photivo otherwise). Open a normal shell, get exiv2 and build it :

$ ./configure  --prefix=/Users/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/gtk/inst --enable-shared  --disable-static
$ make
$ make install

Build photivo

You will need Mercurial (or a Mercurial client, I use SourceTree) to get the photivo code :

$ cd
$ hg clone https://photivo.googlecode.com/hg/ photivo

Replace every occurrence of /usr/bin/gcc with /usr/local/bin/gcc in the .pro files. Replace also every occurrence of /usr/bin/g++ with /usr/local/bin/g++ in the .pro files.

Make sure you are under a jhbuild shell again, and type these commands :

$ cd photivo
$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH qmake -spec macx-g++ CONFIG+=WithoutGimp
$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH make

(We force the use of the HPC gcc here).

You will probably get errors at this stage. You will have to fiddle with some of the Makefiles and repeat many times the PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH make command to get photivo.app build.

Personally, I had to :

• remove -rdynamic occurrences in ptclearProject/Makefile and photivoProject/Makefile
• remove spaces before line 16 of photivoProject/Makefile in order to have the parameter of -DAPPVERSION= correctly recognized

To make photivo.app run correctly, I also had to :

• copy ~/gtk/inst/lib/liblensfun.dylib in ~/lib
• copy the Themes directory in photivo.app/Contents/MacOS/

Package photivo

If you do a otool -L photivo.app/Contents/MacOS/photivo, you will notice there are references to libraries stored in your specific machine's directories. The following script will do the right stuff, using install_name_tool and Qt's macdeployqt.

#!/bin/sh
cd ~/photivo
rm -rf photivo.app
rm -rf photivo.dmg
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH make
mkdir ./photivo.app/Contents/Resources/data
cp -R ChannelMixers Profiles Presets LensfunDatabase Icons Curves Themes ./photivo.app/Contents/Resources/data
mkdir ./photivo.app/Contents/Resources/data/images
cp *.png ./photivo.app/Contents/Resources/data/images/
cd photivo.app/Contents/MacOS
ln -s ../Resources/data/* .
unlink images
ln -s ../Resources/data/images/* .
cd -
install_name_tool -change liblensfun.dylib ~/gtk/inst/lib/liblensfun.dylib photivo.app/Contents/MacOS/photivo
cp photivo-appicon.icns ./photivo.app/Contents/Resources/
cp Info.plist ./photivo.app/Contents/
macdeployqt photivo.app
# The following instruction is optional :
# useful to people having an Apple developer ID for signing the build
codesign -f -s 'Developer ID Application' photivo.app
# Make a DMG
hdiutil create photivo.dmg -ov -volname "Photivo Mac OS X" -srcfolder photivo.app/ -format UDBZ

That's it, a photivo.app you can install on any recent machine !
