I've got a almost complete Cocoa document-based app done. The
"almost" centers just on my need for Thread-friendly AppleScript,
which NSAppleScript is not .. so, enter appscript.
Dug around and found ASTranslate which handily generates appscript
code based on my input AppleScript code.
Then in
http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript/install.html I
found:
svn checkout
http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/objc-appscript
objc-appscript
svn checkout
http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/py-appscript/trunk
py-appscript
svn checkout
http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/py-osaterminology/tr
unk
py-osaterminology
Downloaded each folder and the above automatically placed them at the
top-level of my /users/myname folder.
So far, so good, but this is where it ends ..
Found the unix executible file = osaglue buried in each of the above
folders .. double-clicked on osaglue and Terminal returned:
===
Sorry, py-appscript 0.18.1 or later is required to use osaglue.
Please see the following page for more information:
http://appscript.sourceforge.net/py-appscript/install.html
Please install py-appscript and run this command again.
===
In
http://appscript.sourceforge.net/py-appscript/install.html I found:
sudo easy_install appscript
where the web page states "To download and install py-appscript via
setuptools, run the following command in Terminal:"
But in Terminal, I got such warnings as:
In file included from Modules/CarbonX/_OSAmodule.c:33:
Modules/CarbonX/GetASFormatting.c: In function ‘ParseStyle’:
Modules/CarbonX/GetASFormatting.c:33: warning: ‘FMGetFontFamilyName’
is deprecated (declared at /System/Library/Frameworks/
ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/QD.framework/Headers/Fonts.h:
832)
.. and way down at the very end:
zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...
No eggs found in /tmp/easy_install-f-y69D/appscript-0.18.1/egg-dist-
tmp--JzIjp (setup script problem?)
I then copied osaglue to my usr/local/bin/, double-clicked on the
copied osaglue and got:
===
Sorry, py-appscript 0.19.0+ and py-osaterminology 0.12.0+
are required to use osaglue.
Please see the following page for more information:
http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript/install.html
Please install these modules and run this command again.
===
Of course, this is due to easy_install not working!
What am I missing or doing wrong?
John
