No1indahoodg Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Is alpha 18 supposed to run on osx snow leopard? Alpha 17 runs fine but when I tried 18 I got a message saying I needed osx 10.7 or higher. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Isn't supported anymore. ( I have a Mac with Snow Leopard too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1indahoodg Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks for the reply. That sucks, maybe alpha 19 will offer support for 10.6.8. Good thing I have a bootcamp partition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm going to disappoint you, Alpha 19 is not going to support 10.6.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auron2401 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Is there any other reason besides "most people aren't using it anyway"? (like certain API Support etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trompetin17 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Is there any other reason besides "most people aren't using it anyway"? (like certain API Support etc)Yes, because we are using now c++11 in the engine development, and "Apple has decided to only officially support libc++ on 10.7 or higher" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auron2401 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Typical apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1indahoodg Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Seriously, Apple is so frustrating sometimes. I know snow leopard is 6 years old, but from what I understand it still has a fairly large user base. I don't want to upgrade because of certain software and because I've heard different reports about problems upgrading with bootcamp. Oh well, I can still play this wonderful game on my windows partition. Thanks for the replies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auron2401 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 You could get a linux partition, it runs flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 It wasn't an easy decision to drop older OS X support, but there wasn't much choice, once we decided to use C++11, that restricted us to libc++ on OS X (libstdc++ didn't have adequate C++11 support), which in turn limits us to 10.7+. I will discuss it again with leper, r16226 might have broken the libstdc++ build, but I was never sure why that was necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
