[ANN][MEOW] Kittehcoin-qt Wallet for OSX 10.7+ VERIFIED

[danosphere]

Hello Mah Kittehs!

As many of you may have found out upon downloading the kittehcoin-qt wallet for OSX it has a few issues. I worked a few days to iron out the kinks (freaking 10.9 Mavericks!) and I think I got it working. Can some of my fellow kitteh compadres help me test this out?

If you appreciate my work, please donate using the address in my sig . If this seems to work for everyone maybe I can haz donation meow? Here be your OSX kitteh wallet!

KittehCoin-QT MacOSX 10.7+

If you experience problems or issues please post in detail the error you receive, and the MAC VERSION you are running so I can try to fix fast!

Will post the source and stuff soon as I can get in touch with Lonestar.

---

Update: Now verified working on 10.7, 10.8, 10.8.5, 10.9, and 10.9.1. I'm gonna call it good to go for anyone 10.7+ but still post up if yo have issues. We'll get this on http://kittehcoin.com asap!

Some twitter friend have already pointed out an issue with the db_cxx lib missing, working on fixing it now please hold.

I updated the zip posted in the first link to fix the library issues called out on twitter. Can you post a link to your 10.7 wallet?

Is it normal to have one wallet for <=10.7 and another for >=10.8? I would be working on the >=10.8 one in that case. Maybe lonestar [kittecoin dev] can chime in?

In either case I'd say post the wallet here so people can test it, once we have verified wallets we'll put them on the wiki or wherever need be

[danosphere]

Libs are now in the .app but the linkage is still wrong, fixing (thanks twitter friends!)

[danosphere]

Libs fixed! Should work on OSX 10.9+, got confirmation from twitter users its working on 10.9 as well. Now to solve the issue for people on <10.9 @shai_ you said you have a wallet for 10.7?

The wallet is up and running with full functionality.
Many Thanks for all the work you put in.

I'll be donating shortly

Just synchronised the wallet and did a transaction. So far everything works fine (Mavericks).

Do you think you could also compile such a wallet for CatCoin? Or would that be a whole different process?

Thanks for confirming! Unfortunately I'm only working on KittehCoin not CatCoin but the process is probably similar. I'm working on getting support in place for older versions of MacOSX (for kitteh). Hoping @shai_ can post a link to his 10.7 wallet... I'm working on putting together one for 10.8, and I'll move into 10.7 if @shai_ doesn't beat me there first.

You're welcome.
So, is there any way for me to compile this myself? I don't know how to code, but I know how to use the terminal (a little  ).

TBH it involved downloading QT Creator, modifying a number of build config files, macports (long story), building the c++ libs manually, manually packaging all the frameworks for deployment and libraries as well so it can get dicey- and that's after me figuring stuff out for 2days (admittedly this is my first foray into OSX development- but I do program other languages daily/smyjob).

If it helps I will be posting the final code to GitHub so you may glean some insights from that. I used macports to install the source files for the needed libraries to build the deployment (homebrew is an alternative) and I used the kittehcoin repository (https://github.com/kittehcoin/kittehcoin) as my starting point. I did lots of referencing against litecoin and dogecoin as well in order to get everything right. I really want to commit the code to that repo but if I don't hear back from the dev I may start a kittehcoin/kittecoin-qt project on github or something idk we need to keep the ball moving on this project.

Working on backwards compatibility with older versions of OSX now...

[danosphere]

This build may be compatible with OSX 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9. I have verified it works with 10.9, can someone give it a go with the others?

Unfortunately, way too complicated for me. Thank you for the effort. Hopefully, KittehCoin will be a success!

Thanks! Big thanks to everyone who donated to thank me for the work on the wallet! I'm thinkin I may take on more responsibilities for KittehCoin since the wallet work went so well, keep donating if you like what I'm doing! Wiki and website are next on the list for updating
