OSX 10.10.3 Illegal instruction 4 #1

Closed JoshuaPettus closed 9 years ago

JoshuaPettus commented 9 years ago

Hi, thank-you so much for making a, based on the screen-shot, great looking chess interface for OSX.
Unfortunately I seem to be having difficulty getting it to run. It quits with an Illegal instruction 4 upon launch. Here is the crashlog if that helps https://www.dropbox.com/s/p9cqkj02tozdy52/jerry_crashlog.txt?dl=0

While I'm at it, it's fairly minor, but might I suggest that rather then use a .zip for distribution, that you use compressed .dmg images for osx? It self verifies file integrity, is more professional, and it's what mac users generally expect. You can either turn a folder into a compressed dmg image in Disk Utility, or use the command line: hdiutil create -volname Jerry -srcfolder /path/to/jerry/folder -ov -format UDZO Jerry.dmg

Also gives you a place to put the license rather then buried in the .app bundle

Thanks for your crash report. Concerning the .dmg, I'll consider that in the next release.

Concerning the crash, I have difficulties to reproduce that, since I currently have no machine with Yosemite available. Could you do me a favor and look whether there is any suspicious message in the system log? You can see the log by opening a terminal and running open -a Console...

[edit]: can reproduce the bug now. working on a fix.

I'm happy to help, If you need any other info let me know.

I created a new package. On a test machine where the same error occurred before, the new package worked. But I would very much appreciate if you could check whether it now works on your machine too. Here is a link https://www.dropbox.com/s/nba1jbqd3n8jsq5/Jerry.zip?dl=0 If it indeed fixes the issue, I'll make a new release on the main page...
