Mac OS X (10.5.8): all versions of Mapper crash on start

puzzlepaint reported on Sourceforge [tickets:#159]:

Reported by Janis Tamuzs:

I tried to download Open Orienteering mapper and run it on Mac OS X 10.5.8, but when clicking on icon it says that "The application Mapper quit unexpectedly". It happens with all versions of Mapper for Mac. I have no idea about why or how this happens, perhaps I am missing something in the installation process. Do you have any idea why it might be happening so? And if not, could you please describe the installation process step by step?

Mapper 0.3.2 has been successfully tested on another machine than it was built on. It was probably built on an OS X version newer than 10.5.8 which could mean that it does not run on your system.

Mapper 0.4.0 binary was built on Mac OS X 10.8 which could mean that it does not run on earlier version of Mac OS. I have no feedback except one crash report (#133).

There is no active Mac developer in our team so we cannot provide much support or instructions.

One extra note:

Try to start Mapper from the Terminal. Maybe it produces more output than the mere result "The application Mapper quit unexpectedly".

Verified on a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.7:

Mapper 0.3.2 runs.

Mapper 0.4.0 crashes with an illegal instruction. But the included assistant runs.

There is another ticket which deals with Mapper 0.4.0 crashing on Mac OS X 10.7: #133. Mac OS X support will hopefully improve with Mapper 0.5.

But Mac OS X 10.5.8 will not be supported - even Qt requires 10.6 or newer. So I close this ticket.
