This weekend, kerrymg contributed a patch for Gargoyle that fixes the "no keyboard input" bug on MacOS 10.12 (Sierra).

This hasn't been released yet, but I did a build just to have a build out there:

I haven't tested this beyond the machine I built it on, so you'll have to tell me whether it works (and with what backwards compatibility).

No backwards compatibility. On my El Capitan mac, it says I need 10.12 minimum.

Okay, good to know.

(This is just a placeholder until there's a real release by somebody who understands the build system. I did a bunch of hackery on the build system to make it run. That's orthogonal to the keyboard-input patch.)

Hello, I'm the person who contributed the macOS Gargoyle patch.

For Gargoyle to run on older macOS versions the executables need to be compiled targeting the appropriate OS X version (you don't need the old SDK). Pass the

Code:

-mmacosx-version-min=10.x

option to every compiler and linker command line. I've been targeting 10.9 without issue. Anything older will run into problems because of Apple's switching of the default C++ standard library.

The difficulty is the support libraries. The Homebrew packages (bottles) target various OS X releases. Ideally they need to be built with the same min version as Gargoyle itself. I haven't bothered figuring out how to do this.

Thanks. I have added "-mmacosx-version-min=10.9" and redone the build. As you say, the included libraries may undermine this.

Hm. I've added lines to the build script which may fix this. Or not! Or it may just trip over a different library!

I see the garglk source includes a directory full of static libs to link, but these are Windows DLLs so not exactly helpful here. :)

Maybe I should just be compiling with the STATIC option. But let's try this first.

From your crash report it seems you're missing SDL library:

Quote:

Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/sdl/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/USER/Desktop/Gargoyle.app/Contents/MacOS/Gargoyle
Reason: image not found

However, it looks like you are using Homebrew so, for the time being, you can install SDL and SDL_mixer libraries. You may need other libraries too. Eventually, all these libraries will be packaged in the Gargoyle bundle (unfortunately, it's not as simple as just copying them into the bundle directory).

Good Luck!

I'm getting "Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/sdl_mixer/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.0.dylib" now.

The libraries need to be copied into Gargoyle.app/Contents/Frameworks, then library references from other libraries and executables have to be fixed. Take a look at the beginning of the 'gargoyle_osx.sh' script and the calls to 'install_name_tool'

It can be done by hand (which I've done a few times) but it gets old, quickly.

It's also important to pass the "version-min" option in the link step or it won't work. I use the following to check:

Quote:

otool -l <filename> | grep -B 1 -A 3 MIN_VERSION

Your output should look something like this:

Code:

Load command 8
      cmd LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX
  cmdsize 16
  version 10.9
      sdk 10.12
