Thanks for resurrecting this. Hopefully we can get it to go somewhere.
I have lots of students with macs now, and some are interested in getting Sage
working on their computer. Ivan posted what looked like a fantastic app for
Sage, but then posted about a problem with the browser not being recognized.
I have changed the UserAgent (in sort of a hacky way) since that seemed best.
It works okay for me, but it would be nice to know how it works for others. I
suspect some won't even want to use the browser portion of the application.
Ivan: I tried your app that you posted (SageMenu.zip). I set the path in Targets>Sage
Menu>Run Script to point to my local sage directory. I clicked "Build and Run".
It gave one error (ln:
/Users/grout/Downloads/osx/SageMenu/build/Release/SageMenu.app/Contents/Resources/sage: File
exists), so apparently it's trying to link the file again. However, I get an error on running:
*snip*
Any ideas as to what is wrong?
It looks you were using an old version. The latest can be found (prebuilt) at
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/iandrus/SageApp.dmg
where it is updated sporadically.
Making it independent of Sage is a nice way of not having to update it
for every Sage release.
Do you think it's stable enough to point my students/postdoc mentor to
it? I'm sure I'll hear about any problems if I do that.
I'm uploading a dmg of 4.5.2 made from the current sage -bdist script to
sage.math (46% done). I planned on giving that URL to students. Would
you suggest giving a link to your dmg instead?
Also, how do I get it to just open up my normal browser (firefox)? I
have lots of customizations to my firefox that I'd like to use (for
example, tabs on the side, etc.). It would be great if there was a
preference item which let me choose between opening up the built-in
browser, or opening up the system default browser.
Thanks,
Jason
