So, we have been testing on Lion. I am sad to say that wx is simply not working on it. I would love to be proven wrong here, but even the 2.9 "cocoa" version doesn't work on Lion because *we think* they are using deprecated cocoa calls that were removed from snow leopard to lion. My colleague John <<a href="mailto:ash.gti@gmail.com">ash.gti@gmail.com</a>> has been working on getting things rolling in Lion, maybe he would like to comment further.<div>
<br></div><div>But, I am glad that this is becoming a priority, I look forward to better support in the future!</div><div><br></div><div>--</div><div><br clear="all">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>William Woodall<br>

hi,<br>
<br>
Thanks to Stefan Schaal, who gave me a hard time last month for ROS<br>
having mediocre OS X support, especially given that I carry a MBPro, I<br>
can report on some progress.<br>
<br>
Wim and I started bringing up devel_electric builds of stacks on OS X.<br>
The dashboard is here:<br>
<a href="http://build.willowgarage.com/view/os-x/" target="_blank">http://build.willowgarage.com/view/os-x/</a><br>
The stacks that we're currently building (or trying to build) are<br>
listed below. More stacks are being added all the time, so check the<br>
dashboard above to see current status.<br>
<br>
These builds are testing the Electric development branch of each stack<br>
(often, but not always, trunk/default) against the Electric released<br>
versions of the stacks it depends on. The machine the builds are<br>
running on is 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) and was bootstrapped according to<br>
the standard install instructions<br>
(<a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/electric/Installation/OSX" target="_blank">http://www.ros.org/wiki/electric/Installation/OSX</a>).<br>
<br>
I did *not* follow wjwwood's suggestion to configure MacPorts as<br>
strictly 32-bit (<a href="https://github.com/wjwwood/ros-osx/wiki" target="_blank">https://github.com/wjwwood/ros-osx/wiki</a>). As a<br>
result, I expect that we'll have trouble with anything using wx (e.g.,<br>
rviz). In the future, we'll probably bring up a OS X 10.7 (Lion)<br>
machine, which reportedly will resolve these issues. In the meantime,<br>
we can make progress on building all the non-wx stuff.<br>
<br>
The goal of these builds is to keep track of what works, and to<br>
prevent regressions. A stack "works" when you can successfully<br>
`rosmake --rosdep-install -t <stack>`, which means that all system<br>
dependencies are correctly resolved, and everything builds and tests.<br>
<br>
How you can help:<br>
* If you're working on OS X, suggest stacks that you know to build<br>
that should be added to the list.<br>
* A lot of the work is in resolving system dependencies, in particular<br>
for things aren't available from MacPorts. In those cases, we need<br>
"source rosdep" definitions. Have a look at<br>
<a href="https://kforge.ros.org/rosrelease/viewvc/sourcedeps/" target="_blank">https://kforge.ros.org/rosrelease/viewvc/sourcedeps/</a> for examples.<br>
* If you get email from Hudson about an OS X failure, please have a<br>
look at it. If you can't figure out what went wrong, forward it to me<br>
and we can dig into it together.<br>
