[3.4.1] Can't install on Mac OSX 10.5.8

**Derakon** · December 7, 2012, 21:16

Hm, that's odd.

I just threw together a compilation made on my laptop (OSX 10.7.x); would you mind giving it a shot? It's possible the official download is slightly broken somehow.

Checked it out, got the same error message as before.

I've had this problem with my own projects before. You might just want to try building from source on 10.5, if that's something that doesn't terrify you too much

I remember there was some kind of flag/hack that I was able to use to make my 10.6 builds work on 10.5, but clearly that's not going to help for versions that are already compiled

**myshkin** · December 7, 2012, 23:18

Ack. I built another binary with altered link order; perhaps that will work. Please grab this disk image and see whether it works for you.

Alternately, do you have Xcode installed? I expect that building from source locally would produce a working application without any problems.

**Guyinthecrowd** · December 7, 2012, 23:52

I tried the new disk image and it didn't crash, but only a small white rectangle showed up for the program.

I don't have Xcode installed and I don't really know what it is. Could you point me to somewhere where I could figure out/learn how to build from the source locally?

Very odd. I'm not sure what's going on there.

Xcode is Apple's suite of software development tools. Although we only need a small subset of them, the download is monolithic and large, unfortunately. I just wrote up a quick set of instructions. Let me know if you have any questions.

Looks like bzero (used in the cocoa port) is not available on 10.5 and earlier. Obvious options are:

Use something else to zero bytes in main-cocoa.m (like memset);
Do a carbon port compile, assuming that still works;
OP could upgrade to Snow Leopard

**Derakon** · December 8, 2012, 17:45

When I made my first response I was on my laptop, OSX 10.7, and couldn't do the Carbon makefile. Now I'm on my desktop, OSX 10.6, and it works here. So why don't you give this build a shot?

I just wanted to report that I am having the same problem, running mac OS 10.5.8. This is on an Intel mac, not an old PPC one. My error message is the same as Guyinthecrowd. Latest released version that worked direct from download was 3.1.2v2

Myshkin: I saw that you wrote up instructions for how to compile a version, but this is sort of frustrating for people like me (and Guyinthecrowd) that don't have XCode and don't want to mess with programming, we just want to download something that works... also, the 3.4.1 release page on rephial.org does state that it works for mac os 10.5+ (generally meaning we shouldn't need to do extra work on our end to get it working)

Derakon: I also tried your link. It did not work but had a different error message. Here it is if you are curious:

OK, so I removed the uses of bzero from the Cocoa port in the dev version. Can you try out the OS X port from http://rephial.org/nightlies when it's been auto built? You'll know because the 'latest build' will have a date in June instead of May. May take up to half an hour from this post.

EDIT: that's a lie, look like the OS X autobuilder machine isn't online at the moment, sorry.

10.5 is really old now. There's a lot of current software that won't run on it. For example, Google Chrome only runs on 10.6. Your hardware very likely supports 10.6, all you would need to upgrade is to get your hands on the old upgrade disks. That would be my advice.

**DaviddesJ** · June 15, 2013, 16:58

P.S. You can buy a previously owned 10.6 upgrade on eBay for $10-15. Lots of people upgraded and don't need the disks any more. Just check that your system meets the hardware requirements (but if it originally shipped with 10.5 you should be fine).

You will also get significant advantages in security when browsing the web, etc.
