In fact I first download and unzip Armory_OSX_0.87.98.zip
I get an Armory.app file and drag it to /Applications directory
I double-click on this file... icon was jumping 3 times and disappear
(because of segfault)
so I run a console to run it and

Code:

/Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/Armory: line 5: 62302 Segmentation fault: 11  bin/python armorybuild/ArmoryQt.pyc

is console stderr

I also tried

Code:

$ open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Armory
The file /Users/scls/Library/Application Support/Armory does not exist.

But there is no directory named Armory...
so segfault appears before creating log file

I also tried with --offline flag

Code:

/Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/Armory --offline
/Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/Armory: line 5:   734 Segmentation fault: 11  bin/python armorybuild/ArmoryQt.pyc

Hello,

thanks for this public OS X release but I get a segfault

Code:

$ open /Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/Armory

/Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/Armory ; exit;
new-host:~ me$ /Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/Armory ; exit;
/Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/Armory: line 5: 61800 Segmentation fault: 11  bin/python armorybuild/ArmoryQt.pyc
logout

[Opération terminée]

I'm using Mac OS 10.7.5 with a Macbook Air

Code:

$ python -V
Python 2.7.3 -- EPD 7.3-2 (64-bit)

Can you try running it with " --offline" at the end, to see if it loads without any blockchain stuff?

Was there a log file created by Armory in your ~/Library/Application Support/Armory directory?

Unfortunately, I hope someone with more OSX experience will be able to investigate these problems. It looks like you're using a French OS, which makes me realize I never tested unicode support on OSX... I guess I should take a shot at that...

awesome about offline ready

will be using ubuntu for the offline version though!

mac for online/bitcoin-qt - offline just armory

yeah it's got a ssd, cpu is a i7 quad 2.4 and 8gb 1600mhz ram

out for the night but i'll be doing all kinds of back and forth online mac > offline ubuntu transactions / back ups / restores. will let you know if i run into any trouble

anything specific you can think of i should check?

latest pro retina stock. instant open and scanning of blockchain took 3 minutes

guess i need to quit being lazy and get the parts for the offline system build put together

with the latest bitcoin-qt
looks be using 1.8 gb of ram not so bad

Oh, I didn't even realize that this packaging job is offline-bundle-ready! Since it's completely self-contained, you should be able to use it on a freshboot of an offline OSX installation. Cool!

3-minute blockchain scan is good! Are you using an SSD?

Hmm... it takes 4-5 minutes on my OSX VM in VMware, with 4 GB of RAM. I wonder if maybe it's a caching problem? Weird.

Well now that I'm done with this, I'll finally be able to get to the persistent blockchain stuff. So RAM usage will drop, and full scans should only happen on the first sync, and during import/sweep. I have no idea how long it's going to take, but I do know exactly how I'm going to do it.

The only issue I had was the time, it start at 3 mintues it took around 30-40mins to load the blockchain.

Great work!

What's the system specs? 30-40 min is excessive....

It finally works! Thanks again to higuys who debugged and polished his OSX build script, which makes building on OSX too easy. In fact, it was so easy, I did more than I had to and ended up breaking it. Whoops!

But it's all sorted out now, and I've been playing around with it in my OSX VM. I can see that there's a lot of stuff that needs improvement, but it does appear to be very usable. I had to completely disable Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind management, because there is no reliable way to get bitcoind, and I'm not sure yet if I want to run Bitcoin-Qt. I might have no choice...

I used my online GPG to sign this just to have something. My offline system is not setup yet for certificate-signing OSX builds. But I have a feeling this will need some tweaking before v0.88-beta anyway.

NOTES:

I got the icons working.
Auto-bitcoind/bitcoin-qt is disabled. I may have to start bitcoin-qt instead and minimize it immediately. Anyone know how to start-and-minimize-immediately an OSX app, from the command line?
Notifications are disabled completely. Apparently this solution does not play nicely with Growl. 0.5 BTC to anyone who figures out how to fix it!
