Collabora's gTimeLog on Mac OS X

I installed Collabora's gTimeLog application on Mac OS X (10.4 and 10.5). This tells you how.

Use the MacPorts package management system. It is excellent.

I used Python 2.5; other versions may work. Let me know if you're using a different version successfully.

; port install python25 python_select
; python_select python25
; port install git-core py25-setuptools py25-gtk py25-m2crypto

In addition to installing Python 2.5, Git, and some other pythonic dependencies of gTimeLog, the above makes Python 2.5 the version invoked by 'python'. Make sure that /opt/local/bin comes early in your $PATH.

; git clone git://git.collabora.co.uk/git/gtimelog.git
; cd gtimelog
; ./setup.py install

This puts 'gtimelog' in the first directory in $PATH. At this point, installation is complete. To run the application:

; open /Applications/Utilities/X11.app  # possibly optional
; export DISPLAY=:0.0  # possibly optional
; gtimelog

If this does not work for you, let me know.
