fofix - issue #1253

TickCount does not have a 64 bit equivalent on osx


Posted on May 27, 2011 by Happy Elephant

Describe the problem. What did you expect? What do you see? I've almost got the 4.0a1 running on osx, the build completes successfully but when I run the application I get the error "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'TickCount' " (full dump below)

List the steps to recreate the problem. 1. Python 2.6 from Macports 2. Snow Leopard 3. 64bit machine. 4. Successfully build using sudo python setup.py py2app build_ext after a few patches to setup.py 5. Run the app in ../dist/ 6. FoFix errors offering to terminate or open Console.app 7. Observe errors: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/grahamheath/fofix-4.0.0alpha1/dist/FoFiX.app/Contents/Resources/boot.py", line 103, in <module> _argv_emulation() File "/Users/grahamheath/fofix-4.0.0alpha1/dist/FoFiX.app/Contents/Resources/boot.py", line 101, in _argv_emulation _get_argvemulator().mainloop() File "/Users/grahamheath/fofix-4.0.0alpha1/dist/FoFiX.app/Contents/Resources/boot.py", line 40, in mainloop stoptime = Evt.TickCount() + timeout AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'TickCount' FoFiX[15409]: FoFiX Error

A quick googling will reveal this as an issue in Carbon.Evt, as it does not support 64bit(yet).
