Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
i had 0.3.5 working on OS X 10.6.8, now i updated to the newest 0.4.4 and it don't start anymore.
The new binaries won't work on Snow Leopard. More details in this forum post
Maybe we should add the requirement to the main bitmessage.org page. Do you run that @Atheros1 ?
I can also report that it doesn't start on OS X 10.9.5
I think you're experiencing a different problem. Can you open the OSX Console under Applications -> Utilities, restart the app, and see if there is any appropriate error output?
I'm experiencing an instant crash on start from a fresh-downloaded binary on an OS X 10.7.5 system which has never had Bitmessage installed before.
I also saw a segfault in the crash report.
I'm happy to help poke at it as best I can but my schedule is crazy, so I'll do what I can if devs need more information. :)
What is the minimum required OSX version? I have a feeling that 10.7.5 is too old. When I know, I will add the information to the homepage.
I would have expected Snow Leopard (10.6.8) was the last unsupported version. All the major changes to everythinghappened when Lion (10.7...) came out. It would be nice if we could find some other people with lion to test this.
I could test this on a machine running Snow Leopard if desired.
Thanks for the offer, but it's known that the binary doesn't work on Snow Leopard. Was hoping to get some diagnostics on a broken machine with something newer.
Sadly I don't have access to any other 10.7 machines but I'm willing to dig through and post logs here from my laptop (on which the problem occurs) if requested :)
For me, the downloaded BitMessage
0.4.4
binary launches just fine on a freshly installed OS X10.10.1
(I have the command line tools installed though).it works on OS X 10.9.5
I have a machine with Mac 10.7.5 on it. I am not a coder, but if you'd like to give me explicit, step-by-step instructions on what I need to do, I'd be happy to help.
@3a299d0c Check out the official building instructions: https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions#With_Homebrew_package_manager
The first step is obsolete, you should replace it with the installation explained here:
http://brew.sh/
I use homebrew so I recommend you do too. I had no OSX experience prior to this and I found it easy.
Well my test/build machine has the latest OSX (10.11.2). I installed 10.7.2 in a VM and the binary doesn't work because it's missing a compatible sqlite3 library. I'll see if I can get it working.
I now have an environment on 10.7.5. PyBitmessage runs and builds on it. I hope I can make future releases that run on 10.7.5 and newer.
The 10.7.5 build runs both on 10.7.5 and 10.11.2. So from 0.5.6 on I should be able to maintain backwards compatibility.
