Running pyro under webkit nightlies

Courtenay : April 4th, 2007

Pyro is great for keeping your campfire rooms separate, but it leaks memeory almost as much as Safari. Of course it does. I decided to download the latest Webkit and run Pyro under it to see if they’d fixed any memory issues. The jury is still out, but here’s how I did it (after consultation with the Pyro developers)

  1. download the nightly wekit .dmg
  2. Open up the .dmg
  3. Open up a terminal, go to /Applications or wherever Pyro lives
  4. Set some environment variables and open pyro like this:

WEBKIT_UNSET_DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH="yes" DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Volumes/WebKit/WebKit.app/Contents/Resources/ open ./Pyro.app/

    Update: this hack only works with pre-1.5 versions of Pyro. Doesn’t seem to work on 1.5
