Transmission 1.51 xcode project failed to build on OSX

Post by parimal »

Hi

I tried to built transmission.xcodeproj on mac OSX 10.5.6, but its giving me build fail with the missing file

CpResource build/Debug/Transmission.app/Contents/Resources/sparkle_dsa_pub.pem macosx/sparkle_dsa_pub.pem
cd "/Users/rohit/parimal/pd Downloads/transmission-1.51"
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsCore.framework/Resources/pbxcp -exclude .DS_Store -exclude CVS -exclude .svn -resolve-src-symlinks "/Users/rohit/parimal/pd Downloads/transmission-1.51/macosx/sparkle_dsa_pub.pem" "/Users/rohit/parimal/pd Downloads/transmission-1.51/build/Debug/Transmission.app/Contents/Resources"
pbxcp: sparkle_dsa_pub.pem: No such file or directory


Where is this sparkle_dsa_pub.pem file, how to correct this error. Any :idea:
Please help.

It seems the file 'sparkle_dsa_pub.pem' is not necessary for running, but is there for legal requirements or something like that. You can find the file in the source control system at the address http://trac.transmissionbt.com/log/trun ... sa_pub.pem. As of right now the only file history on this file is that it was added in change set 6748, so it is being excluded from the tarball for some reason. As the change set was made for a reason I would advise downloading the file directly from source control and placing it in the 'macosx' subdirectory of your transmission source code.

You should be building the Mac version straight from a checkout from svn - there's no real reason to use the pre-packaged tarball.
