v4RB for Windows - now MAC ?

[Thorsten Hohage]

Hi Barry,

try to write some thoughts on this topic ....


* of course you didn't need to compile your app on the mac, in some if  
not many cases it would be very helpful to run the IDE on the Mac and  
debug. My experience is in the other direction but from time to time  
it is really surprising how different the "same" app behaves on Mac  
and Win , especially start up of the app and the (order of) fired  
events are different


* What else did you try on *this* Mac regarding Valentina? Especially  
mixing up versions from very old ones with the newest one can puzzle  
up the things really needed. So I would strongly recommend to remove  
EVERYTHING related with Valentina: Receipts, VComponents,  
Preferences, ... and do a clean install with exactly and only the  
version you needed!


* With every other version you install you are going to change the  
vcomponents! So it would be very wise to make a copy of this  
vcomponents named e.g. vcomponents_3_5_2, vcomponents_4_2_1, ... to  
get them back when needed!


* the install script (see <http://www.valentina-db.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=valentina:products:adk:v4rb:manual:deployment:mac_ub 
 >) copies the current version of the vcomponents in your app bundle,  
so the app is not going to use the vcomponents installed on the  
machine anymore. You really should do this, because otherwise changing  
the version of the installed Valentina could end up with a not  
starting app.

Regarding "real" deployment this step is simply a must! Otherwise any  
other app using valentina on the same machine can kill your app!
