Let's start a short note page that keeps track of what I'm trying to do to get Lich to run on El Capitan. Using Virtual Box to keep from having to reinstall over and over and over. . .


==GTK3 Beta Test==
Initial effort successful. Now working with basic installation. Basic installation below successful (for those who might be peeking and simply can't wait). Now working on bottling the two odd lines (cairo and gtk+). If I can bottle them, I should be able to build a binaries distribution package that won't require a long time compiling these brew recipes and the gems. It'll start being El Cap only, but I might add Mavericks and Yosemite to the binaries package as well. I'd have to move to downloading most of the bottles at that point, but it still would be significantly faster.


The GTK3 Beta Test period is over, and has been released to the public for general use. Please see the [[Lich_(software)/Installation]] page.
==Current Issues==

AS OF 7/25/2016

Newest gem versions (3.0.8) do not compile under Ruby 2.0 (OEM install on OSX)
Homebrew no longer supports versions (can't install anything but current brews)
Ruby 2.3+ drops support for $SAFE to only 0 and 1 (normal and tainted data). Lich uses $SAFE=3.
Note: Modify Lich file to $SAFE=1 allows Lich to operate in 2.3 - fastest possible path, but need Tillmen's input and his risk acceptance

Building pkg has several challenges, including continual auto build / test / update cycles that aren't available to me presently.

'''Turning focus to a shell script install, which will take the actions for the users and will hopefully be simpler to maintain.'''


==Script outline==

1) Detect platform (OSX 10.9, 10.10 or 10.11)
2) Detect CLT and if absent, install CLT (oh, and xQuartz. . . hmmm)
3) Detect current active Ruby version (likely 2.0.0.p645 on OEM installs)
4) Detect homebrew and if present, update to latest formulae. If not present, install.
5) Detect rbenv / rvm - might need to consider if this is a developer platform. If neither present, install rbenv
6) Install and set global ruby 2.2.5 (last general release prior to 2.3)
7) Update gem and rehash rbenv env
8) Install cairo (x-11), gtk+ (2.24!), sqlite3, gtk2 gems
9) Grab lich, avalon
10) Test lich (both login window type and gemstone / avalon switch)
11) Save all log / diagnostic and publish loc to user for follow up if required
12) Release to user

Options to consider:
Apple script or additional bash script to semi-automate game start with lich
Maintenance methods (partial update, troubleshooting assistance)
MacPorts for ruby version install (not desired)

==Prior Issues==
'''[[3/7]]''' Created hash and edited formula. Bottle pours properly, build seems to work. Have a couple decisions to make - bottles for each of 3 (Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan) which will make the install bundle 75M for about 25M worth of useful files, or bottles for 'most popular' and compile for all the rest. A third option - check to see if 'universal binary' means what it says and it works on all three OS's. Probably a pipe dream, though.

[[prior to 3/7]] 2.24.28 doesn't want to bottle - but kludged through. Formula needs to be updated and sent or bottle cannot be installed. - need sha256 value for bottle to install - stopping here for a day or two.

==Alpha Build Package==
add pre action script to start log, detect major.minor of OS
add pre action script health check (gcc, brew, gem, installed brews, installed gems)

needs a lot of work here, but will have to make some logical choices and decide if moving / saving old configs might be in the cards.

add post action script to existing package to pour 2.24.28 properly.
add post action script to pin 3 gems

==Build Installation==

Clean 10.11.3 install with CLT, Homebrew (and glib), xQuartz

bottle cairo with the x11 arg

bottle gtk+2.24.28 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/bb3fe5f2de87f76bc0a3f3480635c8fd0d68cec3/Library/Formula/gtk+.rb

package up the gems

pkgbuild two (or more?) bottles with prefix /Library/Caches/Homebrew and 7 gems with prefix $(gem environment gemdir)

then put them together into an OS X Installer package - no frills.

Copy installer package to subsequent clean 10.11.3 install and install.

Then manually brew install the bottles, copy / extract lich, download avalon and test.

==Basic Installation==
'''This works''' for anyone who wants to use it on a clean install. Might require some cleanup if user already attempted to install.

Base 10.11 install

gcc -v to force command line tool install

update through App Store to 10.11.3 (current as of 2/29/2016)

Install Homebrew

brew install glib

Install Chrome

Install xQuartz

brew install --with-x11 cairo

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/bb3fe5f2de87f76bc0a3f3480635c8fd0d68cec3/Library/Formula/gtk+.rb

updated long link to - brew install http://bit.ly/GetGTKLich (test this)

sudo gem install gtk2

sudo gem install sqlite3

curl -OL https://lichproject.org/download/lich-4.6.22.zip (current Tillmen Lich)

install Avalon 4.3.2 beta (current GS FE for Mac)

sudo ruby ~/lich/lich.rbw --gemstone --avalon

(Options to set up for no sudo - hate using sudo for local gem installs)

change sudo gem install gtk2 to gem install --user-install --bindir~/bin --no-document gtk2

change sudo gem install sqlite3 to gem install --user-install -bindir~/bin --no-document sqlite3

still have to sudo to get into the game (due to having to temp modify /etc/hosts) '''This *could* be addressed a couple different ways, pursue this!'''

Test


'''Important note''': while 2.24.28 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/0772cb6a2c25589ef9914698082509fe518f596d/Library/Formula/gtk+.rb already has a bottled install, it causes the same issue. No value to that bottle.


Base OS 10.11 install.

Update to 10.11.3 (current as of 4 March 2016).

Install Chrome (because)

Install CLT

Install Homebrew

---------

Install XQuartz

Install RBENV (because I personally prefer this to RVM)

Install ruby 2.2.2

Global 2.2.2

Install gtk+2.24.28 (requires specific pull from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/bb3fe5f2de87f76bc0a3f3480635c8fd0d68cec3/Library/Formula/gtk+.rb)

gem install gtk2

gem install sqlite3

curl -OL https://lichproject.org/download/lich-4.6.22.zip (current Tillmen Lich)

install Avalon 4.3.2 beta (current GS FE for Mac)

Special note - seems gtk+-2.24.28 will require Cairo built with X11 (xQuartz) extensions, so the normal cairo bottle will fail. - brew install --with-x11 cairo to address.

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

If all this works, back up to base image and try with standard El Cap Ruby
