Valentina products 5.x branch built against SDK 10.6

It needs to differ:
a) developer computer
b) Deployment computer.

Yes, in our 5.x products we have set Deployment OS as 10.5 ... in hope it will work,
Because we use only C++ API of OS, we do not use any ObjC features, which Apple move forward very fast.

Notice, Apple itself have to drop even 10.8! You can see this if install latest Xcode.


* In 6.x products we link against SDK 10.8 and deployment also 10.8.

With MacOS 10.10.3, install_name_tool that have a modification date of 29 september 2014 and after installation of the developer command line tool, no more problem.

I really would like to have some more information about the minimum system requirement !
I can read at http://valentina-db.net/en/database-adk-api-requirements :
"Mac OS X 10.5 or later"
This seems to be ok using Valentina engine, but what about the tools we need to use to create an application ?
It is very sad if you drop Mac OS X 10.6. Can you say me more about the minimum "install_name_tool" needed ?

François Van Lerberghe

Well, it seems yes because your utility do not understand format of binary code ...
Right now we are not ready to say what is minimal supported version.
Do you have any chance to use need Mac OS X and tools for this?
May be using virtual machine? Virtual Box or else ...

The Google tells me that "malformed object" means that install_name_tool needs to be updated. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10390186/install-name-tool-reporting-malformed-object

But yes, if you can update to the latest and greatest version of MacOS. It's ugly, you may have to update your software etc.

PS: Trying to post only one time now.

Does this error occur because of my version of install_name_tool (as I use MacOS 10.6.8 and XCode 3.2.6 and the modification date of this file is 24 october 2010) ? Is there a minimum version to use ?

I really need to find a fix to this problem as I cannot make my executable with V4RB 5.8.5.

Tried with harcoded path (/usr/bin/install_name_tool), but this doesn't change anything. Same result.

François Van Lerberghe

Hi Beatrix,
Thank you for youranswer. Yes, I have install_name_tool installed. And this is working well with V4RB4.3 and "install_vcomponents_v4rb" (just done this before). I'll go to try hardcoding the path.
Cheers.

This forum is incredibly stupid. First I post 2 times. Then I try to edit the last post. And the §$%& forum software manages to change both posts.

Anyhow.

Did you check if install_name_tool is installed? If yes, have you tried to hardcode the path to it in the Valentina script?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards
