Tomboy LaTeX Plugin: installing on OS X?

by Flip Tanedo :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Greetings I'm unable to get the Tomboy LaTeX plug-in
(http://www.reitwiessner.de/programs/tomboy-latex.html) to work on Mac
OS X. I believe this is because the configure script and makefile
should be modified for OS X, but I am unsure how to do this.  I get
the following error when I run the "./configure" script:



checking for TOMBOY_ADDINS... configure: error: Package requirements
(tomboy-addins) were not met:

No package 'tomboy-addins' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables TOMBOY_ADDINS_CFLAGS
and TOMBOY_ADDINS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Any suggestions would be very appreciated!
Best,
Flip

Did you try downloading the DLL posted on the author's page?

http://www.reitwiessner.de/programs/Latex.dll

That goes in ~/.config/tomboy/addins/ on OS X, iirc.

If you want to build yourself, I think you can just do this:

cd tomboy-latex-0.5/src/
cp /Applications/Tomboy/Contents/MacOS/Tomboy.exe .
gmcs -target:library -resource:Latex.addin.xml -r:Mono.Posix
-r:Tomboy.exe Latex.cs -out:Latex.dll

That should create a Latex.dll for you.  I'll have to think about the
best way for people to make their makefiles work on other platforms
where we aren't going to be present in pkg-config.

Glancing at the code, you're going to need 'latex', 'dvips', and
'convert' resolvable in your PATH if you want it to work.

Please let me know how this turns out, or if you need more help.

Best,
Sandy

Hi Sandy,

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately I'm still having some problems.
I tried copying the author's Latex.dll file into my
/.config/tomboy/addins/ folder, but didn't have any luck getting the
plugin to work. (Typing in "/[ \phi /]" didn't produce a greek
letter.)

My attempt to build the dll myself also led to errors (could not find
'Gtk' and 'Gdk'). I have the usual MacTeX2008 distribution of LaTeX ,
which should include latex, dvips, and convert in the path. Is there a
way to check this?

If this ends up being too much hassle, then I can find an alternative.
Either way, I really appreciate all the help.

Best,
Flip

Did you enable the Latex add-in in the Tomboy preferences?

http://library.gnome.org/users/tomboy/0.14/id2704389.html.en#prefs-plugins

As for your building problems, I realize I forgot to add a few
references for you in the gmcs command.  You'll need to include
-pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0 (assuming that syntax works on OS X).

Dear Flip,

the dll should indeed work. Did you really type "/[ \phi /]", or was it
(is it's supposed to be) "\[ \phi \]"? If that does not work, please
start tomboy in a terminal window and see if some errors are printed.

Kind regards,
Christian Reitwießner

A note about this: on OS X, it's easier to just open
/Applications/Utilities/Console.app to see Tomboy error
output...starting from a terminal can be a bit tricky.

Sandy
