OSX v0.17 Qt4 builds doesn't open

Post by pablogil »

Hi,

From not much time I cannot open the Github Qt4 builds, macOS says there was a problem, it is written in Spanish but I have translated it with Google (for time saving, hehehe):

Code: Select all

Check with the developer to make sure FreeCAD_0.17-10947.3e7b6b3-Qt4 is compatible with this version of macOS. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install all available updates for the application and for macOS.
Click Report to view more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
------- ORIGINAL MESSAGE -------
Consulta al desarrollador para asegurarte de que FreeCAD_0.17-10947.3e7b6b3-Qt4 es compatible con esta versión de macOS. Es posible que tengas que reinstalar la aplicación. Asegúrate de instalar todas las actualizaciones disponibles para la aplicación y para macOS.
Haz clic en Informar para ver información más detallada y enviar un informe a Apple.
I'm using macOS 10.12.3
Anyone is experiencing the same issues?
Thank you

Other people on sketchfab seem to also have a problem with running the qt4 build on mac https://forum.sketchfab.com/t/freecad-exporter/12903/31

The other issue reported there is already solved.

Same issue for me in Sierra... Qt5 is fine though ... but then many macros may suffer ... anyway Qt5 is the next level ;)

Yes that true, but QT5 is too buggy, it's annoying.
I have found a working QT4
https://github.com/bblacey/FreeCAD-MacO ... /tag/v0.17
Ok a little bit old but working well
Hope for a working QT4 up to date

Yes, there are some Qt4 builds that are working but the annoying thing is that the new Qt5 is working and the Qt4 no... it might be at the contrary, hehehe ;)

Maybe this will fix the issue?

https://github.com/FreeCAD/homebrew-freecad/issues/46

P.S. Actually this is about a build issue but you have an issue where FreeCAD doesn't start. If you start FreeCAD from command line is there any additional info seen there?
