Installer missing from latest upload #154

Closed dudemec closed 2 years ago

dudemec commented 2 years ago

Looks like there were updates uploaded ~3 days ago from today (11.19.21). Doesn't seem like the BigMac GUI installer is there anymore, at least not from what I can tell. Any plans on uploading the updated version? Excited for my machine to have Monterey!

I just learned about this tool but I don’t see binaries here, only source code. Do you provide compiled binaries? Thanks!

PS do you support SurPlus patch for Big Sur 11.6 on Mac Pro 5,1 without having to use OpenCore?

dudemec commented 2 years ago

There used to be one. Lets hope it shows up again. This tool is awesome. Saved the Mac Pro I have from the junk yard.

Desperately looking for Bigmac2 GUI and most current version files as well. Or am I just blinded?

StarPlayrX commented 2 years ago

The GUI version is always in Master.

StarPlayrX commented 2 years ago

There is currently no installer. I may release one again. Just haven't.

The code base was recently updated and should compile without issue using Xcode 13.1.

I don't see a Master folder. Am I blind? I looked a few times.

I can't compile this because i cant install xcode. When I download it from the app store it says mac os 11.3 required. What now?

I tried to compile this package with Xcode 11.3.1, which is the latest that will run on Mojave 10.14.6, but it throws a bunch of errors. It won’t run the package, either.

So, if somebody had already compiled this into an installer, please upload it. Otherwise, I will say that this package was broken by the developer, and is no longer a viable solution.

The software is still viable and works well in conjunction with Open Core Legacy Patcher as a Boot Loader via a USB Stick. BigMac2 is starred and forked daily.

I recommend using it with Open Core as a boot loader because it takes care of the Race condition issue with Big Sur 11.3 and later. You also gain back Software Update.

I recommend compiling from Xcode 12.3.1 on Big Sur or later. You can compile on a supported Mac. The software is not compatible with Mojave so you probably should be on at least Catalina to use. Builds made on Big Sur should run on Catalina.

I supply the source code. There are no dependencies (doesn't require Cocoa Pods, Carthage or a Swift Package).

I'm currently not doing releases at this time. The source code is provided free of charge.
