Discussion:
The make-install process is creating/copying symlinks for the
innards of the MainMenu.nib bundles instead of copying the actual
files. This is for each language inside the installed XDarwin.app
bundle itself.
As installed, we'll see errors in console.log concerning the
language couldn't be loaded, and the app will fail to launch.
This is what we _should_ see in the installed app-bundle after
repaired by hand:
$ cd /Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/
MainMenu.nib
$ ls -alL
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 5 scifi wheel 170 2007-04-04 11:05 .

-rw-r--r-- 1 scifi wheel 20640 2003-10-16 18:50 objects.nib
The xf86 installer is creating those two .nib files as symlinks to
somewhere in the build/ tree, which further are symlinks
elsewhere. OSX don't like it that way. ;)
Each/every MainMenu.nib in all *.lproj (language) subdirs are
affected this way.
I don't know how to fix this in Makefiles etc. I ended up using
Finder to drag-copy these from the real xc/ tree (not the build/
tree) directly into the installed /Application/XDarwin.app bundle
itself.
I don't see anywhere in `make install` that would create symlinks for these.
So, I suspect this is artifact is due to a combination of the way XCode
normally operates and your use of shadow trees for builds (a practice I
highly recommend BTW). There might be a way to coerce XCode into following
symlinks either through a command line flag, the project file, so some other
mechanism. Please investigate.
There already is a bug opened that XDarwin won't build in shadow tree.
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1182
As mentionned there, once the right files are copied to replace symlinks,
everything go on smoothly.
I think the "right files" (TM) were xc/programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/bundle
OK. Thanks for the info. The attached patch should fix this.
The change I attached has now been committed. Thanks for reporting the
problem.
Marc.
