@BKane001 Can you let me know what version of OSX you are using?

BKane001 commented 4 years ago

@persts 10.12.6

Thanks @BKane001. Will take a couple of days to find and get a version of Sierra up and running.

@BKane001 I finally got a copy of 10.12 (Sierra) running. The problem has to do with the GUI framework we are using (Qt5). The version of PyQt5 we are using for the bundled version of DotDotGoose, which was bundled on 10.15, seems to have been compiled for OSX 10.13 so it only seems to work with version 10.13+

Given our limited resources I don't know if I would be able to maintain multiple builds for OSX. It should work just fine if you were able to install the necessary python packages and downloaded the source from GitHub.

With additional support needed for 11.0 Big Sur and M1 processors, I am unfortunately going to have to close this ticket and say that I will not be be able to add support for 10.12.
