Re: [AG-TECH] Running shared apps / AGVCR_Launcher on OS X
Ah, thanks.. at the very least I can highlight this in the docs now
too. That did indeed make the difference.
Thanks,
Derek

Hi Derek:
That's a known problem that is fixed in the latest AG3 release. agpm
uses whichever python it was run with in the registration of the new
application, which in your case is python, not pythonw. There are two
ways out of this:
- run agpm on the command line with pythonw
- modify ~/.AccessGrid/Config/ApplicationDatabase so that AGVCRLauncher
is started with pythonw instead of python

Hi,
I've been having a go at testing AGVCR and AGVCR_Launcher on Mac
OS X. I've noticed, to my dismay, that AGVCR_Launcher doesn't even run
from the 2.4 Venue Client on OS X. I guess my legions (!) of OS X
testers hadn't gotten that far yet ;)
Anyway.. an odd problem, it says 'This program needs access to the
screen. Please run with 'pythonw', not 'python', and only when you are
logged in on the main display of your Mac'. I'm running the
VenueClient from a terminal (used pythonw to launch) so I can see the
debug output, but I also get nowhere when I try and run it by
launching the AGTk .app, then the Venue Client and then the shared
app. I can run the 'Shared Question Tool' but not 'AGVCR_Launcher'.
Looking at the python files they are about identical on the top part
and call the same 'WXGUIApplication()' so I'm a bit confused. Any
hints/ideas anyone?
I'm not sure how people have been running AGVCR or the launcher,
if indeed they have been able to do so. For the Mac users, I do now
have a Mac 'bundle' of AGVCR working, at the moment it's just PowerPC
but I plan to release it this week. I was finally able to free enough
disk space on the root drive to install AG 2.4 so I thought I'd try
making some changes in AGVCR_Launcher to run it from the bundle.
