Installer requires Big Sur on 64bit Mac

Open TommySlokky opened this issue 2 years ago • 9 comments

I have an old Mac 2012 Pro (upgraded to 16GB memory so OK) and latest MacOS it can run is Catalina.

I can see all installers require Bir Sur. Any chance of doing so older Macs can use fpcupdeluxe?

It seems V2.2.0e will run on Catalina but just about any newer will not. I understand time moves on, but still, unless strictly necessary it would be nice to have as much compability as possible.

I will definitely want to support older Mac's ! But I need your help, due to the fact that I do not own a Mac.

So, I would like to make the newer fpcupdeluxe-versions compatible with Old Mac. Can you give me more info about the error with older Mac's and newer fpcupdeluxe ? Thanks !

I can try make a screenshot. But the only information I get is macOS stating the executable requires Mac OS 11.

info.plist looks OK although I am not expert - must be something FPC compiler sets... hmm maybe ask in Lazarus forum

Found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65904485/how-to-fix-you-have-macos-10-14-6-the-application-requires-macos-11-0-or-later My guess is that it is some setting in the executable/metadata (that file that accompanies

I will try research

I have tried to make a legacy fpcupdeluxe. https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/fixes/fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa-legacy.zip Please test.

I just tried it. Sorry for the delay. It runs! Sop whatever you did, it will now run on older mac OS. (However, it does give an access violation on startup)

TommySlokky avatar Nov 25 '22 08:11 TommySlokky

Could the access violation be caused by the fact that you run from the Downloads folder ? Would be good to solve this issue also !

LongDirtyAnimAlf avatar Nov 25 '22 08:11 LongDirtyAnimAlf

You are correct. Access violation disappears when not being run in downloads section. Great. Your cocoa legacy build solves all issues then :)
