OS X compatibility?

[Bohdan-Khomtchouk]

Hello,

I downloaded the MacOS binary hoping that it would be backwards compatible with my OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite) but could not get the application to open/function. Are there any plans to make the nEXT browser backwards compatible with at least some of the OS X operating systems?

Thank you, Bohdan

[jmercouris]

Hi Bohdan! Thank you very much for your report! I was under the impression that nEXT did work on older versions of OSX. It doesn't link to any specific libraries tied to 10.12+ so it should be able to work right out of the box!

Can you please report what the system says when you try to launch the application? (launch it via terminal so that all errors are visible, e.g. /Applications/nEXT.app/Contents/MacOS/nEXT)

Additionally, if you would not mind, can you please try to compile it yourself and see if it works that way? If so, I'll know that it is something tied to the compilation on my machine! Thank you for your report/time!!

-John

The binary draws a window and that's it. I'll try compiling it in the next few days. I'm running macOS 10.13.2

[jmercouris]

Hi Aaron, did you try pressing Ctrl + L?

if that works, then the rest of the manual will have lots more :D

[aaronvan]

Very good, thanks. I guess documentation still matters! ;-)

[jmercouris]

Hey, no problem! In the next version of next, the default homepage will actually show some information like some basic keybindings, so hopefully it'll be less jarring to new users!

I'm trying to compile on Mavericks using CCL 1.11. The first time I tried it I got an event loop error in the aux-console. The second time I tried it I got this, which is reliably reproducible:

BTW, this looks like it could be totally awesome if I can get it to work.

[jmercouris]

This error: Error: class_addIvar failed I used to get when I would try to swizzle a method definition from objective-c, I honestly have no idea what is causing this error, nor do I have mavericks, but if I come up with something I will update this thread.

Thank you for your patience!

[jmercouris]

@rongarret Have you tried an older release of CCL compiled for Mavericks? Does CCL in general for you work? If you open a CCL repl and (require "cocoa") does it produce the same error?

[rongarret]

The version of CCL I am using was compiled from source on Mavericks. It is generally rock-solid (which is why I use it). I generally use the IDE which already has cocoa loaded, but I can (require :cocoa) from the command-line version and that works too.

When I try to load next from the command line I get a different but still reliably reproducible error:

The value #<SYSTEM "next"> is not of the expected type LIST.

This happens before it tries to load cocoa.

[jmercouris]

if you got an error in the aux console I think it means you did not pass the no init flag for compilation, have you tried that?

[rongarret]

I have not tried that. I'm following the instructions in README.org under "Run from Source".

[rongarret]

Well, I've found at least one problem. CL-STRING-MATCH installs a reader macro for "#/", which CCL uses for ObjC method names. That screws up everything. Frankly, I don't see how this could possibly work for anyone unless I'm somehow getting different code from quicklisp for cl-string-match than you are.

[rongarret]

What version of CCL and Quicklisp are you using?

[jmercouris]

Hi Ron, thank you for your thorough investigation! I did not realize CL-STRING-MATCH did this, it hasn't caused any problems for me before, but I think that's impetus enough for me to replace it with something like ppcre,

> ccl -V
Version 1.11-r16635  (DarwinX8664)

CL-USER> (ql:client-version)
"2017-03-06"

Can you please try compiling to see if the problem is isolated to the way CCL is setup in your init vs the code? Additionally what might be very interesting is if you have some code within your .ccl-ide-init.lisp

Thank you!
