Building Scan Tailor on OSX

[Tulon]

Again, I am no expert on OSX dynamic linker, but on Linux, statically linking to those libraries wouldn't have helped. Linking them statically wouldn't prevent their symbols from being exported (from the scantailor executable) and therefore from being available for Qt to bind to.

I still do not believe it was the issue, but I suppose it could have been. If it were, wouldn't the errors in the crash dump have pointed to some function trying to actually utilize the library functions? It was crashing in the QEventLoop::exec method. I was puzzled by that, which is why I tried a different Qt (was going to compile my own next) because there was no trace of where or what it was doing that was causing it to die.

Also, the precompiled Qt libraries appear to be built so that they do not use the system imaging libraries, they use plugin modules named libqjpeg, libqtiff, etc (although no png unless the libqmng handles png too). At any rate, this also would avoid the above issue if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks again for your hard work, even though I haven't build a scanner yet (soon!) this will undoubtedly be extremely useful.

Hi

With the new version, the program doesn't crash anymore when I run it on a mixed folder, but it seems that Scan Tailor can't quite grasp the png image, which is left with a question mark in "Select content/Margins". This of course means that one can't get to "Output" as the final size of pages isn't decided.

I just ran a batch on the PowerPC G4 system I have, running 10.5, and I cannot duplicate this. I will have to try it on a few other systems at work next week with different OS versions and Intel/PPC processors.

I have followed the instructions to build Scan Tailor on OSX (I have Snow Leopard, 10.6.4) to the dot. I get a compiling error when I get to 83% and I can't get past that:

How can I fix this?
Many thanks,

[Tulon]

It's an incompatibility with the latest boost. It's fixed in Git, so you can build that, or you can take just the file ProjectFilesDialog.cpp from there. I do plan to make a new release in the nearest future, so your third option would be waiting for that to happen. Oh, and the fourth one is to downgrade boost.

[afdezc]

Git worked fine. Thanks a lot!

[Denivic]

Hey everyone, I am still making my rounds around these threads, so forgive me if i ask a redundant question. Can someone point me to the URL for Scan Tailor MAC version.

Thanks in advance,

[daniel_reetz]

here's one version.

[Denivic]

Thanks daniel I will try it out.
