Can't create installer file on Mac

[pranulit]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior:

This is what I get in the terminal:

Using python [ 3.9 ]
Specify an app
Creating dmg image ...
Could not find 120
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/pranulit/ayon-launcher/tools/build_post_process.py", line 682, in

All done. You will find AYON and build log in /Users/pranulit/ayon-launcher/build directory.

Hello, did you run ./tools/make.sh build before make-installer?

[pranulit]

Yeah, it installed the app just fine. Just having issues with the .dmg and metadata.json (for the installer) file creation

[iLLiCiTiT]

Could you try to run this command in terminal:

create-dmg --volname "AYON Installer" --windows-pos 200 120 --window-size 600 300 --app-drop-link 100 50 "
{SOME DIR}/AYON-macos.dmg" "{PATH TO CREATED .app FILE}"

Please replae SOME DIR with path to a directory (~ can be used to use user home) and PATH TO CREATED .app FILE should lead to .app in build.

[pranulit]

Hmmm, gives:

• Could not find 120

But all paths are right :/

[iLLiCiTiT]

Hmm, could you try to change --windows-pos 200 120 in the command to --windows-pos 200 160, just to validate that is the 120 which could not be found.

[pranulit]

Yeah, tried it - same

[iLLiCiTiT]

We've maybe find out why it is. macOs build does require Rosetta virtualization. You have to set your terminal application to be launched with rosetta virtualization and uninstall and install again most of the packages afterwards (python, pyenv, homebrew etc.).

[pranulit]

Hmm, I'm running on Mac intel (AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB, 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9) - so Rosetta virtualization isn't really applicable?

[iLLiCiTiT]

It is, you have to run and install everything with rosetta virtualization (including terminal, cmake, pyenv, python etc.). So if you want to build it on your own, this is only way how to do it.

The link you provided is for Apple Silicon. As I said I'm running on Mac intel. So all the apps are already running on rosetta essentially.

Ok, then I don't know, sorry.
