AquaTerm Won't Run

[joseph@…]

AquaTerm doesn't seem to want to open, saying, 'You cannot open the application "AquaTerm.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete.'

I've downloaded the official binary from the AquaTerm web site, and it works fine.

I don't have the know how to debug if you can't reproduce, but would be happy to work with someone who does. joseph at josephholsten com

If you open Console (/Applications/Utilities), then try again, is anything relevant logged? What version of Mac OS X are you using? What is the output of port installed aquaterm? PowerPC or Intel?

Nothing of changed from opening Aquaterm.app in system.log, console.log, or anything else I checked.

What version of Mac OS X are you using? PowerPC or Intel?

% uname -a
Darwin localhost 8.11.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.1: Wed Oct 10 18:23:28 PDT 2007; root:xnu-792.25.20~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

That is Mac OS 10.4.11 on Intel.

What is the output of port installed aquaterm?

% port installed aquaterm
The following ports are currently installed:
  aquaterm @1.0.1_3 (active)

I've attached a build log, via

% port clean --all aquaterm
--->  Cleaning aquaterm
% port -d build aquaterm >&| aquaterm_build.log

Nothing seems out of the ordinary, but what do I know?

I noticed that the official release of AquaTerm.app has Contents/MacOS/AquaTerm, but the version made by macports doesn't.

% diff -r /Applications/AquaTerm.app /Applications/MacPorts/AquaTerm.app
Only in /Applications/AquaTerm.app/Contents: MacOS

I tried to build manually from aquaterm_src.1.0.1.tar.gz by

% tar zxpf aquaterm_src.1.0.1.tar.gz
% cd aquaterm
% make -f distroMakefile BUILD_DIR=build/Deployment SYMROOT=build SRCROOT=.
...
freeze -v ./installer/installer.packproj
make: freeze: Command not found
make: *** [pkg] Error 127

that is, I get an error since I don't have a freeze command, which my google-fu indicates is from ​Iceberg.

Well, no matter, all that seems to be needed is the the actual build command, so replace the above with

% tar zxpf aquaterm_src.1.0.1.tar.gz
% cd aquaterm
% xcodebuild -target AquaTerm -configuration Deployment
=== BUILDING NATIVE TARGET AQTFwk WITH CONFIGURATION Deployment ===
...
=== BUILDING NATIVE TARGET AquaTerm WITH CONFIGURATION Deployment ===
...
** BUILD SUCCEEDED **
% diff -r /Applications/AquaTerm.app build/Deployment/AquaTerm.app  
Only in /Applications/AquaTerm.app/Contents: MacOS

that is, xcodebuild isn't generating Contents/MacOS/AquaTerm either.

And that indicates I don't know what I'm doing or something is wrong with my Xcode install. My installed version of Xcode is 2.4.1 (762).

Sorry about the delay.
I am not sure the maintainer responds to bug reports anymore.
A new version of MacPorts has been released since the ticked was opened.
By any chance, has that fixed the problem?

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

Closing ticket.
If the problem persists, please feel free to reopen.

Can I verify when you build, you get a AquaTerm.app that contains a Contents/MacOS directory? I'll leave closed if so.

I can not seem to reproduce your problem.
On my machine, AquaTerm.app contains Contents/MacOS and functions properly.

Nothing jumps out as being problematic with the aquaterm_build.log you submitted.
Just to cover all the bases, are you using the latest XCode available on your OS?

No, but I'm going to upgrade to Leopard this week, so we can just leave this mystery unanswered. Thanks for your help.
