(Updated May 30, 2016, 8:28 p.m.)
Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X and KDE Frameworks.
Changes
-------
Update/nudge, and fix of 2 small errors in the CMake files
Repository: kinit
Description
-------
This patch addresses several issues with the OS X adaptations:
-1 replaces the obsolete Q_OS_MAC with Q_OS_OSX
-2 builds the relevant applications `nongui` instead of as app bundles
-3 turns klauncher into an "agent" by setting `LSUIElement` to true programmatically
-4 ports a patch that has been in MacPorts' `port:kdelibs4` since October 14th 2009, \
which prevents a kdeinit crash that is caused by calling exec after `fork()` in an \
application that has used non-POSIX APIs and/or calling those APIs in the exec'ed \
application. This patch (originally by MacPorts developers Jeremy Lainé and Jeremy \
Lavergne) rearranges call order and uses a proxy application to do the actual exec.

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126161/diff/
Testing
-------
On OS X 10.9.5 with Qt 5.5.1 and KF5rameworks 5.16.0 as well as Qt 5.6 and 5.20.0 . \
With this patch, starting `kded5` will launch kdeinit5 and klauncher5 as expected, \
but `kdeinit5 --kded` does not yet launch `kded5`. This is probably acceptable for \
typical KF5 use on OS X (kded5 can be launched as a login item or as a LaunchAgent) \
but I will have another look at why the kded isn't started.
I am not yet able to perform further testing; practice will for instance have to show \
whether point 2 above needs revision (apps that need to be installed as app bundles).
Similarly it will have to be seen whether point 3 above has any drawbacks. \
Applications running as agents do not show up in the Dock or App Switcher. Thus, \
klauncher will not be able to "turn itself into" an application that does have a full \
GUI presence with my current modification. I don't know if that's supposed to be \
possible though.
NB: I have been building the KDE4 klauncher in a way that makes it impossible to \
construct a GUI at all, so I'm not expecting issues in KF5 as long as klauncher's \
role hasn't evolved too much.
Thanks,
René J.V. Bertin
