Killed: 9 (MacOS, Monterey) #304

Hi, Francis — 

Trying to help an artist friend in Austria (I believe) use vpxtool. He's new to C/L tools in general.

He's hitting Killed: 9 when he tries to use vpxtool. I think this is even with a simple --help option. He is on a nice MacStudio machine I believe so I pointed him to your vpxtool-macOS-aarch64-v0.13.1.tar.gz version.

Any ideas?

Did he follow the instructions on getting the file out of quarantine?

https://github.com/francisdb/vpxtool?tab=readme-ov-file#macos

Where does he see this error? What macOS version is he running? He can get that by running sw_vers.

> sw_vers
ProductName:        macOS
ProductVersion:     14.4.1
BuildVersion:       23E224

maybe also try this:

> file vpxtool
vpxtool: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

An other option is trying to download the x86_64 version and see if that works. Both work here but I expect the x86 version to be slower as there is some emulation layer in between.

Almost certainly what the problem is. Thanks. I am an idiot — I did that for myself but then forget it when I "help" someone else to install.

Wouldn't be so sure as I could not reproduce that error. Updated my previous reply with some more ways to debug this.

Thanks, Francis. I hope he can be patient. :-)
