Get a crash on launch of current clozure cl on MacOS 12.1

Error: Objective-C runtime exception: -[HemlockBufferString count]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x60000000af10 While executing: #<Anonymous Function #x30000111176F>, in process Initial(0). Type :POP to abort, :R for a list of available restarts. Type :? for other options. 1 >

I'd love to get Clozure working again.

I had no problems on macOS 12 so far.

[dwsinger]

@mdbergmann what versions of OS and Clozure have you got running?

[mdbergmann]

I currently run macOS 12.3 and CCL

❯ ccl --version
Version 1.12.1  DarwinX8664

But things also worked with earlier versions of CCL. Using CCL from Homebrew.

FWIW I have just tried the binaries from the 1.12.1 release on both macOS 10.14.6 (Intel) and macOS 12.4 (Intel).

The command line (./dx86cl64 --version) seems to be working for me on both.

If you're trying to use the Mac App Store version of CCL, it's broken.

If you get the current release and build your own IDE with (require 'cocoa-application) then you should get an app that works.

[dwsinger]

a new version for the app store is not planned?

[xrme]

I'd love to have it back in the app store, but I don't have a plan for when.

The main problem is that an IDE only runs on the version of the operating system it is compiled on. In other words, an IDE build on (for example) Big Sur will run on Big Sur, but not on Monterey or anything later. I don't yet understand why this is the case.

See #272.
