Ktools doesn't work after successful installation (Mac)

[inan]

Hey guys,

 

I've been trying to have the make the ktools work for Mac. I was able to install ktools (krane and ktech), however when I try to convert a .tex to a .png and open the .png in photoshop, it always says:

 

"Cannot complete request because the file format module cannot parse the file."

 

 

I figured there was a problem in the compilation of the tools. I hope someone helps me find out what. Here is the detailed steps I have done so far:

 

1. Download ktools-4.1.2.zip, unzip it.

2. Download ImageMagick-6.9.1-0.pkg.zip, unzip it, and install the package at /opt/ImageMagick/

3. Download cmake-3.3.0-rc3-Darwin-x86_64.dmg, install it to Applications folder.

 

4. Run cmake via GUI. Specified the unzipped ktools-4.1.2 path and the build directory (an empty directory called ktools).

5. Press configure and choose Unix Makefiles and a pop up says:

 

"Error configuration process, project files may be invalid.

 

everything is a success until it reached to this:

------------- START -----------

------------END-------------

 

6. I edit one of the red lines that say CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /usr/local and change it to /opt/ImageMagick and press generate again

and then it says this:

 

------------START-------------

CMake Warning at cmake/thirdparty/OptimizeForArchitecture.cmake:108 (message):

But it still has two things in red. They are as follows:

 

LIBZIP_INCLUDE_DIR

LIBZIP_LIBRARY

 

7. So I revert to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX back to /usr/local and press generate. And here is the result:

 

------------START-------------

Configuring done

------------END-------------

 

8. I go to ktools directory and run: make; make install. And then check ktech and krane and show the help documentation via --help parameter.

 

9. Then I use the ktech and krane but the am having errors reading the .png generated.

 

 

So, I'm thinking that although I was able to build the ktools, it has corrupted it because of this:

 

missing: PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE

 

 

 

Wondering where I could be wrong. I hope someone helps. I've been working on it for days. (and yes, I have an 8-5 job so I only get to sleep 3-4 per night. I'm working on some scripted mods -- ones that don't need tex files).

Hey guys, need some help here.

 

I removed every package installed related to modding DS and tried starting from scratch. 

Here is the summary of what I did:

 

Download the following:

1. xcode from App Store (2.6GB)

2. cmake source code for MacOs (http://www.cmake.org/download/)

3. ImageMagick source code for MacOS (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php)

4. ktools source code (https://github.com/nsimplex/ktools/)

 

Preparations:

1. switch user to root: sudo su -

2. copy the three downloaded files to /opt: cp <file> /opt/

3. go back to /opt after each successful install.

 

Install Xcode:

1. Automatic via App Store.

2. Agree to the license.

 

Install Cmake:

1. tar -xvzf cmake-3.2.3.tar.gz

2. cd cmake-3.2.3/

3. ./bootstrap

4. make

5. make install

 

Install ImageMagick

1. tar -xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz

2. cd ImageMagick-6.9.1-8/

3. ./configure

4. make

5. make install

6. (to test) convert logo: logo.gif

 

Install ktools

1. unzip ktools-4.1.2-source.zip

2. cd ktools-4.1.2/

3. ./configure

4. make

5. make install

 

 

I was able to use ktech and krane, but for some reason the converted files are always unreadable. I always encounter this error when trying to read or open the converted .png file:

 

"Cannot complete request because the file format module cannot parse the file."

 

I really hope someone can help me here.

Still unable to succeed in conversions using ktech.

 

After installing xcode, cmake, imagemagick and ktools. I am having this error when converting a .png to .tex:

 

Error: ktech: no decode delegate for this image format `PNG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501

 

When i convert .tex to .png, the resulting .png is always unreadable.

What could have been wrong?

 

 

@simplex, or anyone, please help. Thanks in advance.
