Unfortunately, that is a limitation of @executable_path. If your not loading the library from the executable that the path was meant to be relative to, the path will be wrong since @executable_path will be different. To get around this, you can either set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to where the library can b...

I got the chance to try my build on mac running 10.8 today, and confirmed that it does work on mountain lion if you have XQuartz installed.

Hi, I just did another build with my osx-app branch for Mac OS X 10.6 (x86_64), and was wondering if my build works for anyone else. The only thing that I know doesn't work is the help -- everything else should work fine. The app can be downloaded here . It may or may not work on newer version of OS...

Hmm... well, I've had strange errors before when things got linked to different version of python, so maybe that's what's causing it. Can you upload your CMakeCache.txt? I used /usr/bin/swig and it built without any errors. Also, you will need Sip and PyQt4 , and not PySide and Shiboken. (I didn't r...

Thank you so much, wmayer! It works perfectly! I figured it would have to added to the hidden options, but I didn't know how to handle the custom syntax. By any chance could you add that to master?

Great! I will take a look.

Hey guys, Currently it is not possible run FreeCAD directly from a Mac application bundle, because when an executable is started by an app, OS X adds an argument like -psn_0_6141403 (evidently it's the "process serial number" ). Then, of course, FreeCAD fails to start, complaining about an...

Please consider merging this commit into master, which fixes the error described in this thread.

Thanks,

Okay, I finally found out what was causing that error. The type of some of the arguments of aptrte can be different depending on whether the macro PCLINUX64 is defined, and it was only being defined for StdMeshers. I will submit a pull request for the fix, in the mean time it is available here.

Okay, MEFISTO2.so is listed there... I'm mystified why the linker can't find aptrte. You could try building again in a new build directory without changing any options, but it probably won't make any difference. I'm on vacation right now and don't have access to a 10.6 machine, but when I get home n...
