App doesn't run on MacOs 10.13 #57

Open courbeges opened 2 years ago

courbeges commented 2 years ago

Hi everybody,

There seems to be a problem with the MacOs version

https://github.com/SartoxSoftware/audacium/releases/download/v1.0.0/Audacium_macOS_Intel_1495198346_7c3a6d5.zip

The zip file can be unzipped without problem, but then the application (audacity.app) won't run (see the attached screenshots. The app "audacity.app" there is really audacity (2.4.2), and audacium should be the app "audacity 2.app", which cannot be opened...)

What am I missing here? Thanks a lot in advance for any clue.

I don't own a Mac so sadly I couldn't test the binary before uploading. However I'm guessing it's just a packaging problem since there shouldn't be any problem with the code. Could you try to build Audacium yourself and try the built binary?

AnErrupTion commented 2 years ago

@courbeges A quick question, did you test opening Audacity.app at all?

courbeges commented 2 years ago

Yes I did. Here are more details:

In fact, I compiled Audacium some time ago (in August) from sources on Linux Ubuntu, and after some trials, it was ok (except some plugins crashing).
I asked the question about this compilation problem on Mac for a friend of mine, who tried to install it and didn't succeed. I have no access to his machine (due to pandemic situation), and I don't know much about Mac system. On the other hand, my friend is not an Apple guru, and never tried to compile a software from sources.
Since then, I have sent him a script, that would possibly install everything and compile the sources, but my friend had no time to try it.
As of the version I compiled on Linux, it seems to be slightly different from the appimage version (some plugins in particular do not run the same way on both versions). I can provide details on demand.

All the best.

And as for Audacity.app on my friend's Mac, it is the original version of Audacity (2.4.2 I guess), running ok.

AnErrupTion commented 2 years ago

I don't own a Mac but as soon as I can make a Mac VM, I'll try fixing that. Unfortunately, for the time being, I can't do much. Sorry about that.

AnErrupTion commented 2 years ago

Oh, a dumb question, but are you using an ARM-based or Intel-based Mac? @courbeges

courbeges commented 2 years ago

My friend's Mac is Intel based.

AnErrupTion commented 2 years ago

Currently, Audacium only works on Intel-based Macs.

courbeges commented 2 years ago

Ok. So it should work on my friend's Mac... :-\

AnErrupTion commented 2 years ago

@courbeges Any updates?

courbeges commented 2 years ago

Not really. I have tried to write a script and send it to my friend, but at some point something couldn't be installed (if I remember correctly, there was a problem with the version of 'cmake', not handled by the version of the system). So we gave up, hoping for future versions...

AnErrupTion commented 2 years ago

That's weird. Although I think the main problem here is about packaging, more specifically that we aren't renamed everything yet. I'll be looking at that soon.

I have had the exact same error trying to build Audacium on an M1 MacBook Pro for x64 and Universal.

AnErrupTion commented 2 years ago

@badlydrawnface Audacium does not work on M1 Macs yet.
