I have tried to build a proper .app for Bitmessage for a while, but I could never figure out how to properly bundle OpenSSL. So, I made this guide (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=229414.0). But now it's obsolete as a great OS X build script is now included in Bitmessage!
You can download the DMG here: MEGA (https://mega.co.nz/#!nJB1DRpB!bGJgzUR1zDj6BGseTLly2DSGRYtBOqra7BQ9j1penBU)

Very cool to hear!  ;D

Does it work for you?

I haven't tried it yet will do! :)

Does the mac version run without installing anything else
or do need to install additional stuff?

thanks.

No. This version has all the requirements (correct Python, OpenSSL, PyQt) bundled in.

Why is tis only available on their site and not on github or sorceforge?

Do you think one can use this new all-in-one solution without any concerns?

Thanks!

Because there is no special code going into it. I have simply run Py2App and bundled all everything needed into a single .app. Personally, I use the python source fresh from Github.
But this is easier to get started with as you don't have to install anything prior to using it.

Ok, I downloaded it. Opened the dmg (contains only the app, no installer or anything else) and draged it to the program folder.
When I tried starting it a mac popup asked to accept incoming connections => ok
Program never started but crashed before anything else happend. Tried it several times...always crashed.

(Using MPB Pro / Snowleopard / all current updates).

So I am pretty annoyed...not only doesn't it work but now I am worried that there is yet another shit on my mac possibly compromising security.

Oh. Sorry.
Here, try these instructions: https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions#OS_X
They were written by me.

Bump for deletion.

Thanks for your help. But I'm gonna wait until a stable app will be available.

Yeah. This one is no where near stable.

Any news on a mac client?

Try this (https://mega.co.nz/#!nJB1DRpB!bGJgzUR1zDj6BGseTLly2DSGRYtBOqra7BQ9j1penBU).

is this the same version you posted above or are there any changes/updates?

It's a new build script. So yes, it's updated.

crashes upon start.
thanks anyway

Crap. What OS version are you running?

Snow Leopard

wanted to upgrade lately but then I saw the keynote about Maverick and decided to wait a few more months ;)

That explains it. As far as I know, this only runs on Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

I'll wait til I can get it to compile myself... This doesn't seem like the kind of thing I'd want to use some untrusted - no offense - third party's binaries for.

It's written in Python, so it's interpreted, not compiled. All of the source code is inside the .app, completely without obfuscation.
I have also written instructions on the wiki in order to run it yourself. https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions#OS_X
I have simply posted this .app bundle for convenience.
I recommend compiling your own .app once you get everything working. This can be done by running ./osx.sh in the PyBitmessage directory.

Looks like someone else has my problem.

Maybe when Maverick comes out someone could take the time to compile it (unfortunately I don't have any clue how to do this).
