0001  Summary below, follow the instructions carefully folks!
0002   
0003 Here is how I got ktechlab to launch on MacOSX Sierra, October 2018.  If you are reading this much later your mileage may vary.
0004 
0005 
0006 0)   Need fairly close to the latest XCode installed, with the command line tools installed. 
0007 
0008  1.)  Install fink  (finkproject.org)  (requires SUDO or SU)
0009  2.) Install kde bundle (fink install bundle-kde4-mac)
0010  3.)  ALSO  
0011 kdelibs4-mac-dev
0012 automoc-mac
0013 soprano-mac-dev
0014 
0015 NOTE: This *may* be fixed in ktechlab update sometime in the future
0016  4.) modify build-simple.sh and run-simple.sh at the “readlink” area:
0017 
0018 #SCRIPTDIR=$(dirname $(readlink -f “$0”))
0019 readlinkf(){ perl -MCwd -e 'print Cwd::abs_path shift' "$1";}
0020 SCRIPTDIR=$(dirname $(readlinkf "$0"))  
0021 
0022  
0023   5.) Then include in your .bash_profile 
0024 PATH=$PATH:/sw/opt/kde4/mac/bin
0025 
0026   6.) Run build-simple.sh.
0027 
0028 
0029 NOTE: This *may* be fixed in ktechlab update sometime in the future
0030   7.)  build-simple.sh copies into /Applications/KDE4. (This might fail if you are not an administrator on your mac)   (it probably should copy into ~/Applications (user home directory, applications.)   Copy that app into inst-simple directory after the build.
0031 
0032   8.)  Copy /Applications/KDE4/ktechlab.app to inst-simple/bin
0033 
0034   9.) Modify run-simple.sh to launch the app the macintosh way:
0035 
0036       open -a "$SCRIPTDIR/inst-simple/bin/ktechlab.app”
0037 
0038   10.)  modify your login items in System Preferences to add /sw/Applications/kdeinit4.app as a automatic start login item.    (Or alternatively, always remember to click on it before launching ktechlab.
0039 
0040   11.) you can then change into ktechlab and execute “sh run-simple.sh” from a command prompt and it will work.
