Summary0000263: FreeCAD Crashes on Startup on MacOS 10.5
DescriptionI downloaded the latest Version for Mac. The installation works fine. But when i tried to start it, it crashes. Always. I discoverd that the binary version only works with OSX 10.6, but i have 10.5.

So why dont the installer check for the right operating system Version?
There should be a warning if any user with an unsupported Operating System tries to install the program.

On the other hand: whats the big problem for compiling FreeCAD on an 10.5 machine and putting the binary into the download folder? For me compiling is a problem, because I dont have any knowledge about that.

The big problem is that none of the developers owns a Mac and thus it's hard to build the binaries. The installer we have is a contribution.

We con not react on this errors,
I think we should remove the Mac download as long we have not
one of developers with a mac...

I will probably by one at the end of the year.....
