/usr/local/bin/sysget: cannot execute binary file

[selfagency]

Seems to install fine in Mac OS Mojave but when you go to run it, it throws an error saying it's not executable. Tried installing via fish and bash with the same result.

Did you made the binary executable ? You can do this with sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/sysget Hope it helps Greetings Emil

as shown in the first line of output above, yes, that command is the third in the sequence. as the error message stipulates: "The file '/usr/local/bin/sysget' is marked as an executable but could not be run by the operating system."

I think the problem is that the offical provided binary is compiled under Linux and not macOS (I don't have a Mac). Can you try to compile it on your own ? It is not that hard Download the stable source code at the release page Then unzip the zip file Open a terminal in the src/ folder an do: make && make install Then you should be able to use sysget

[selfagency]

that worked, with one caveat. see the warning below:

➜ make; sudo make install
g++ -std=c++11 -c main.cpp
g++ -std=c++11 -c packagemanager.hpp packagemanager.cpp
g++ -std=c++11 -c utils.hpp utils.cpp
utils.cpp:32:1: warning: control may reach end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]
}

g++ -std=c++11 -o sysget.o main.o packagemanager.o utils.o
cp sysget.o /usr/local/bin/sysget

I've just patched this out. Can you try it again but this time do it with the master branch instead of v1.2.1 ? This time it shouldn't give any warnings. Greetings Emil

EDIT: Travis also said that there wasn't any warning so you don't need to re-compile, a little bit embarrassing that I didn't saw this earlier

[cvengler]

Finally let's draw this conclusion:

• Provide binaries for macOS

• Read Travis logs for macOS too

EDIT: I have also updated the release page
