Project not available on macOS Ventura

[oscarmrad]

I tried installing the janky borders on my 2017 intel macbook pro running on macOS Ventura 13.6.5 but i got an error saying that I need macOS Sonoma. However my mac does not support this OS because it is only available till 2018 macs. Is there a way to integrate it for macOS Ventura?

There are several reports that the software will work on ventura, however, I can not guarantee functionality because I have no mac running Ventura anymore and the project development began with Sonoma.

I think you can force brew to install the software anyways:

brew install --ignore-dependencies borders

If that doesnt work, you can always compile from source.

Thanks for your answer i got it working now just needed the ignore dependencies options. Cheers!

It seem ignore-dependencies command not working on Monterey:

$ brew install --ignore-dependencies borders

Then I clone the repo and tried to run make in the folder:

$ make
clang -std=c99 -O3 -g src/main.c src/parse.c src/mach.c src/hashtable.c src/events.c src/windows.c src/border.c  -o bin/borders -framework AppKit -framework CoreVideo -F/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ -framework SkyLight

$ ./bin/borders
Connection: Wrong message received.

I'm not familiar with C++, am I doing it wrong?

Monterey is entirely unsupported because it does not have the required system APIs.
