For those of you with a Mac (or Linux)

The source version of the EVE-Central uploader available from the main page has some issues working correctly on a Macintosh or Linux system do to bad path separators. Below is a link to grab a version of the uploader from the Git repository which contains a small patch to work around the issues. You’ll need an install of Python and wxPython (Unicode) appropriate for your system in order to use it.

EVE-Central uploader with Path fixes

Further up the Git tree is an unfinished UI refactoring effort (that is over a year old). If someone wants to take up the task of trying to complete the multiple-client uploader refactoring, they are more than welcome to.

  1. Okay, for those (like me) who don’t know a thing at all about Python, here’s how I made this work. Assumes you know the basics of the command line.

    1) Get the file above and unpack it where you want to.

    2) Download wxPython from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10718&package_id=10559&release_id=662274
    (Get the version for your Python version. My Leopard install is 2.5.1 (% python –version), so I downloaded the version appropriate for 2.5. Install it the normal Mac way.

    3) In the unpacked evec_upload folder from step (1), do:
    a) python setup.py build
    b) python setup.py install

    4) Now you can run the market uploader: python evec_upload.py &

    A quick test seems to indicate that it’s working!

  2. Or run >python setup.py py2app

    This will create an app file in ./dist that you can run without the command line. Tested and it worked.

  3. Hey, that py2app trick is even better! Thanks.

  4. Owing that I now have a Macintosh to develop with, I will be releasing a new .app bundle soon :)
