[nix] Abort trap: 6

[habere-et-dispertire]

After upgrading to 1.2.0 via nix on macOS 10.13.6, I get :

$ cool-retro-term
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: cocoa, minimal, offscreen.

Abort trap: 6

Any ideas ?

Thanks ! 😀

Hi, I don't use macOS, but maybe you should try installing the plugins that are suggested in the error message you have. First starting with "cocoa" plugin, then "minimial" and finally "offscrean" and trying the cool-retro-term command after each plugin installation.

• (If one of them works, it is not necessary to install the other plugins)
• Try installing again the cool-retro-term nix package if the plugin installation did not take any effect.

The problem seems to be related with Qt. If the plugin installation part did not work, try installing the latest version of Qt LTS (as it is recommended in the readme file), that it should be version 6.5 right now. If you already have it installed, I suppose it may be a problem with the nix package.

If the problem persist, first uninstall the nix package and then try following the Build Instructions (macOS) guide.
