Cannot be built in xcode 4.2 (latest to support 10.6 Snow Leopard)

[wyatt8740]

Yes, I have an imac old enough to still have to run snow leopard. I love this program, and want to help out, but the project fails to build due to MainMenu.xib on XCode 4.2 and OS X 10.6.8. (XCode 4.2 is a "developer network" only download for snow leopard, but I "obtained" a copy.)

Hi, glad that you want to help :+1: So if I understand you correctly the project file itself is working on your old XCode? The only issue is that MainMenu.xib is not building? What is the error message? If I look at MainMenu.xib in my XCode, everything below XCode 5.1 is grayed out. And XCode 4.2 is not even visible:

I guess somehow it must be possible to make the build process work for you.

May I ask what you are planing to do? :grin:

the project file itself loads, yes. I will take a screenshot. :\

I mainly wanted to try building it myself, because I am irked when things are COMPATIBLE with 10.6, but requires that you BUILD them with 10.8 or whatever (openJDK 8 is an example). Since I can't upgrade to a newer macintosh right now, I am trying to stretch this one as much further as I can. Just trying to do my best to make things more compatible :)

(I'll be taking the screenshot the next time I am home to look at it. please respond so I remember to do so with the notification in the corner - I am forgetful -_- )
