Quicksilver B5X branch


Just committed my changes to the subversion repository.

A few new features and general stability improvements, but mostly a very thorough cleanup of the source code, so you can actually compile it now.

Compilation Instructions

Open Xcode preferences, scroll across to Source Trees and add one with a Setting Name of “QSFrameworks” and path of /Applications/Quicksilver.app/Contents/Frameworks/.

Then unzip Quicksilver.xcodeproj.zip, and open the Quicksilver.xcodeproj project in Xcode. Make sure you set the Active Build Configuration to “Release”. Click the Build button and you’re away.

Note: This build appears to be incompatible with the File Tagging plugin.

    Excellent! Now are you planning on releasing a nice universal binary of that or do I need to dust of my compiler?

    Ankur,

    I simply want to thank you for all the work you’ve done and plan to do on Quicksilver.

    Cheers,

    How does a non-programmer take advantage of your hard work?

    I’m still having trouble compiling the branch. Which build configuration should work - debug or release? On debug, I get an error about QSCore not being found and on release, I get an error about QuickStep foundation “-filelist “.

    Of note, both the paths Xcode gives me for these errors are looking in a directory called ppc down in the hierarchy, and I’m on an Intel Mac.

    I’m running Xcode 3 on 10.5.1. Also, I’m almost completely unfamiliar with Xcode. So, step by step instructions would be awesome, if possible.

    Thanks for all the effort you’re putting in to this.

    Thanks for that, having read that QS was being orphaned I’d decided to take a look at the source as a means of getting into Mac programming (having been a mainframe and windows prgrammer for longer than I care to remember) and got as far as failing to compile it…
    I know it’s not the easiest place to start but I will see how I get on and may be able to be of some slight use, albeit slowly.

    I’ve added instructions on how to compile the source. I can host the compiled application as well, but give me a few days to set up a workflow.
