| Summary | 0000635: Mac OS X target built against 10.7 SDK, crashes on 10.6 | ||||
| Description | The mac build is against the Mac OS X 10.7 SDK. As there are previous releases against older versions of Mac OS X, there shouldn't be much reason to avoid the older SDKs. Even the mac build page suggests this is so: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=CompileOnMac It would be good to add the 10.6 (and maybe even 10.5 and 10.4?) SDKs to the build so users of non-upgraded macs may still use FreeCAD. | ||||
| Additional Information | I've not done SDK support on the autotools before, only cmake, so I don't have any code snippets on how to achieve this. Older versions of Mac OS X have older versions of python (2.6 for 10.6 and 2.5 for 10.5) which may be a problem if python is heavily used. I would build my own version, but I would like to use FreeCAD first to determine if it's worth the time to sink into getting a build environment up and running for it. | ||||

The problem is that none of the freecad developers owns a mac, so we rely entirely on community users - like you - to provide mac builds... If you are wanting to help with providing mac builds made with other SDKs, we would be immensely grateful. Otherwise, I'm afraid there isn't much we can do at the moment... Maybe looking around on the forum (there are several threads about mac building), you would find people interested in undertaking that task? |

We cannot do anything on this as we don't have it under control what the package maintainer do. |
