Unable to run on macOS 10.12.6

[tamsinadriane]

I'm trying to install this along with qb64 on macOS 10.12.6, and as a non-programmer, it's proving typically tricky. I've installed the xcode libraries, and run the InFormSetupMac executable three times. Each time, the terminal displays the following:

Then I'm prompted to run InForm, select "Yes", and nothing happens. Could this have something to do with the unused variables mentioned in the terminal? Is there a different set of xcode tools I should install? Even assuming that InForm has been installed properly, how should I run it (the UIEditorPreview executable in the InForm directory just tells me to run the main program, which I can't seem to find)?

Let me know if you need any further info. Thanks in advance!

All seems proper. Compilation ok (Output: UiEditor, Output: /Users/tamsin.michael/Downloads/qb64/InForm/UiEditorPreview, Output: /Users/tamsin.michael/Downloads/qb64/InForm/updater/InFormUpdater), meaning that the Xcode tools you got are all good to go.

In a terminal window, go to your qb64 folder and try running ./UiEditor

It should pop a warning asking for permission to connect locally over TCP/IP and that's that.

The Warnings can be safely ignored.

Let me know if that works, please.

I'm on macOS 10.15.3 and it works - but I did test it before on older versions, as I developed it.

It could be something in your firewall settings blocking it.

Hmm. I tried to change directories and run ./UIEditor from the terminal, but the terminal seemed to just pause for a moment and then display another command prompt, as if the program had crashed (?). Trying to run it directly from the Finder yields the following:

Tamsin-Michaels-MacBook:~ tamsin.michael$ /Users/tamsin.michael/Downloads/qb64/UiEditor ; exit;
logout

...saving history...truncating history files...
...completed.

My firewall is turned off, so I'm not sure what else could be interfering with it.

Thanks!

You don't seem to be at QB64's folder when you run ./UiEditor

Please try to cd there first and then run ./UiEditor and let me know how that goes.

(Hope you've had a chance to try it as I stated above, @tamsinadriane - please let me know).

[tamsinadriane]

Thank you so much - I just came back to it and was able to run it directly from the macOS GUI! Now to figure out how to use it...

[FellippeHeitor]

Let me know if there's anything I can assist you with. Thank you so much for your interest!
