Binary build of SCPlugin
It appears that development of SCPlugin has resumed, despite the fact that the news page has not been updated in over two years. The project’s Documents & Files page offers downloads of versions as new as December 9, 2006, including an “experimental” Universal Binary build of SCPlugin. I haven’t had a chance to test this yet, but this is certainly encouraging.
Older information follows…
NOTE: Despite the fact that some folks have gotten it to compile, Intel builds of this plugin have proven to be extremely buggy. At this point I have switched to using svnX for all of my svn needs on OS X. The best I can recommend would be to contact the SCPlugin project maintainers listed at scplugin.tigris.org and request that effort be put into Intel compatibility.
SCPlugin, a contextual menu plugin for the OS X Finder, is pretty cool. The official distro is only via source, tho, which isn’t super handy for a lot of folks. So I built the plugin and zipped that bad boy up for your enjoyment:
Merry Xmas!
Update: Raf. has built what promises to be an Intel-compatible version of SCPlugin:
Hi Ed, I’ve compiled an Intel version of the plugin (I noticed some comments on your blog requesting Intel versions: http://funkatron.com/wp/archives/os-x/binary-build-of-scplugin/) Please find the file at: http://studiofunk.com.au/downloads/SCPlugin-Intel.zip You can mirror the file if you like and let some of your readers know with an updated article.

THANK YOU!
kemuchi
Great ! Thanks !
Could you tell me how to access the sources of scplugin ?
Ed
You need to have Subversion installed on your machine (I can’t recall if that ships out of the box with OS X nowadays). If so, you can check out the source from the location described at the bottom of this page:
http://scplugin.tigris.org/
If you’re not familiar with Subversion, google around for some tutorials — there are good docs out there.

Thanks man, your the bomb

I was wondering if you had tried making an intel build or a universal build. Iw as trying but I got a ton of errors just trying to build the default version. would you be willing to share your version of the project?
DJ
Can you build a MacIntel version for us? That would be much appreciated.

I tried the guest/guest on http://scplugin.tigris.org/svn/scplugin/trunk but it isn’t letting me in. What’s the secret handshake?
I’d also vote for a MacIntel version, or if you can tell me how to get the source, I’ll build it and send it to you for this website!

I’ve been so busy that I just haven’t had a chance to fire up Xcode and see what barfs out in the evenings. I’ll see what I can do, though — keep bugging me! 8)
John Dell
Ok, well I got the code and tried the XCode compile, but it barfs on mach_override.c:34
Which is:
if !defined(ppc) && !defined(POWERPC)
#error “this code is currently PowerPC-only”
endif
Doesn’t look good at this point for an Intel build :-(

John Dell : How’d you end up getting the source… I also keep getting failed auth on guest/guest
Anyone?
John Dell
you gotta sign-up for a tigris.org account. Just register and then you enter your user/pwd to get SVN
BizWeasel
I too wanted to compile the source (though I’m a marketing weasel not a coder so I don’t really know what I’m doing) and ran into quite a few errors. For starters make gave me a checksum.md5 error and xcode barfed about 10 errors as well when I tried compiling.
I haven’t tried your binary yet, but I am hoping it works as the older binary on the scplugin site crashes on install. Too bad the scplugin team had their “real life” intrude, this looked like a very promising tool.
For the folks trying to get into the repository, there is some note on the site mentioning that there is no longer a password (technically a blank password) needed for CVS access, and this apparently goes for SVN access as well. In any case I was able to get in and download the trunk directory using username: “guest” and a blank password field.

Anyone get a binary version working?
parsifal
Great job guys… Thank for you work…
Karl
Hi , I found this site and am also looking for a MacIntel binary, when I try and compile from source I get 10 errors like BizWeasel, anyone found a MacIntel binary yet ?
Gabe
+1 requesting the mac intel version.
Stan
Ed, Can you get me in touch with this Raf gent? The intel ver. of SCPlugin is slightly unstable, and I was wondering if he is interested in pursuing the project at all - and what, if any help I could provide to such an effort.
Thanks!
bobby
Ed, has anyone been able to get the SCPlugin for Intel working on their Macbooks? I’d like to get in touch with Raf if that is possible.
Thanks!
Joe
I have not been able to get it to work. I installed it in the folder, restarted the finder, and I had no new contextual menu items for svn workspaces.
I also tried installing the old version, then just replacing the plugin file in the contextual menu items dir and no luck with that either
Richard
Hi,
I would like to get SCPlugin working under MacBookPro as well. Anyone have the Intel Build that works ?
Greetings

There’s a new release of SCPlugin available at the site, release 0.7. This release is a Universal Binary (Intel and PPC), includes a proper installer, and implements the complete work flow for most users. New features include:
You can provide your login info during commit — no more need for a separate command-line client for this!
In fact, no need for a command-line client at all: we’re now building against the libraries themselves, rather than running the external client, so things are faster and more reliable
In fact, no need for a separate SVN installation at all: we bundle Subversion as a Framework inside the plug-in
Login info securely cached in the OS X Keychain
Pop on over and give it a try! http://scplugin.tigris.org
