4.2.1 - Crash on first run, Mac OS

[lonadar]

Just downloaded the 4.2.1 MacOS X package (after realizing it existed). I've tried three times to run it, with the same results. Nothing appears, as far as of the app. Just the CrashReporter.

I'm seeing some things that suggest this is an issue with compiling under more current versions of MacOS, then trying to run the results under 10.13.6 (or earlier, I presume).

Perhaps. I'm encountering the same problem, also on MacOS 10.13.6. Attached is the log from running the current nightly (686384f55); I get similar results on the release version. To be clear, both cases are the precompiled downloads from Rephial; I don't want to have to deal with compiler issues.

[lonadar]

I was able to pull the latest source code last night and manually compile it and have successfully run it, which suggests either they've fixed the issue (which I doubt because I don't believe it's code based) or the issue is in fact not setting certain compiler flags while compiling under a newer version of the MacOS. I'd be happy to do that to 4.2.1, if I knew how to distribute it once I had.

[Nick]

I think this is now (very recently) fixed by backwardsEric in the nightly builds.

I've downloaded the new nightly (81dfed316) and it does indeed run under MacOS 10.13.6, so I agree that the issue is fixed.

[lonadar]

I was able to compile and run from the nightly build as well. Whether that's because I built it under 10.13.6, or because something has change with the compiler flags, I don't know. Would it be of any benefit for me to try to compile the base 4.2.1 under 10.13.6 so the current distribution works under more systems, or is 4.2.x eminent?
