Crash on MacOS: Trace/BPT trap: 5

[kaktusztea]

Version, Operative system Cherrytree 0.99.55 (brew), MacOS Monterey 12.6.4

Describe the bug I start cherrytree, but when I select a .ctx file and try to open it, the app crashes always. It doesn't matter which .ctx it is.

$ cherrytree

Trace/BPT trap: 5

I just upgraded to new version by brew. Then tried also brew cleanup and brew reinstall cherrytree as well. These didn't help.

Before upgrade I got this error (that's why I upgraded):

Can you try to build cherrytree locally following https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree#building-cherrytree-on-macos and then if you succeed can you try to run the built cherrytree and report how it goes?

[giuspen]

My guess anyway is that homebrew is beyond repair, it happened to me once, in that case completely removing it https://mac.install.guide/homebrew/5.html and then reinstalling it will likely solve the issue

Thanks for the tips. Before start to compile I just tried a last method and it worked:

brew tap beeftornado/rmtree
brew rmtree cherrytree
brew install cherrytree
