Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] run gnuradio on mac

Hello:

This is a bit of a hack, but it will create a GRC icon on Mac :)

1. Create AppleScript ( Launchpad -> Script Editor ) with the single line of 
(updating the path with correct username):
-------------


do shell script "/Users/username/grc.sh"


-------------


2. Save this AppleScript as "grc.app" with the File Format "Application" [ 
grc1.png ] This will create the "grc.app" package [ grc2.png ]

3. Create Bash script /Users/username/grc.sh with the content of (updating the 
cd /Users/username path first):
-------------


#!/bin/bash
export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"
export PYTHONPATH="/opt/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages"
export 
PATH="/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:$PATH"

cd /Users/username/
/opt/local/bin/gnuradio-companion


-------------

4. Set to executable:

chmod +x /Users/username/grc.sh


5. Ctrl+Click on the "grc.app" package and select "Get Info".

6. Drag the attached "gnuradio.icns" over the Icon in the "Get Info" window, 
highlighted in red in screen capture [ grc3.png ]. The mouse should switch to a 
green plus sign. This will set the package Icon to the GR icon. [ grc4.png ] 
and [ grc5.png ].

7. Drag the "grc.app" package to your toolbar. [ grc6.png ].

You should now be able to click on the icon and it will set the env vars and 
start up GRC.
