3.21.0 (r4) Sonoma (pre-release) won't open on M1/Sonoma
Hi, I have an M1 mac updated to Sonoma 14.1.2. I tried installing the latest version. The App won't open - reporting "You can’t open the application “Meld.app” because this application is not supported on this Mac."
Rosetta 2 is installed and other intel 64bit software does run ok.
I tried running the program directly by executing "/Applications/Meld.app/Contents/MacOS/Meld" in a terminal window (which works for me in the previous version). With the latest version I get "Meld.app” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified."
This later message is normally dealt with by opening the App via the control-click menu, but the first problem stops that working.
Something about the packaging might be wrong!
Systems Settings --> Privacy and security --> at the bottom will show the latest failed to open app (meld). you can now choose to open it.
I'm on Sonoma 14.1.1, regular intel old mac. Meld opens for a second then crashes. It might be a differnt thing, and I can open a different bug in that case, but it seemed the above users didn't do ^ first. The meld app receives a SIGSEGV according to the stack trace

Please do not assume that we didn't do basic troubleshooting. I did, this app doesn't open on Apple Silicon. I have found an alternative app that works.
Good to hear
It wasnt clear from the original issue.
It would be interesting to know if M1 /M2 chip Mac's also generate the SIGSEGV, in which case the issue is uniform and not specific to chip-setup
On my m1, if staring by double clocking, the console shows
error 19:22:59.451145+1100 Finder LAUNCH:Application cannot be launched because its unsupported bit is set, org.gnome.meld node=<private> status=-10661

A dramatic change today when I tried to launch it from the terminal. Instead of what I got above, I got this (more useful) mess:

Notice the reference to "/usr/local/opt/libpng/lib/libpng16.16.dylib" (which I don't have)
Using "otool -L", I traced this to libfreetype.6.20.0.dylib and libfreetype.6.dylib in /Applications/Meld.app/Contents/Frameworks. So that is at least one issue.
Same for me.. Sonoma 14.1.2 on Intel and it doesn't work. I don't think it's really M1 related but much more system related
Meld 3.21.0 (r4) Sonoma at 14.1.2 with Apple silicon
Hope this snippet can help everyone; I've successfully used it myself and wanted to share it with all of you.

Still crashing on Sonoma 14.2.1 with M2. Crashes when opening from command line with two folders as parameters. I have seen it run if I opened it without any input for comparison.
With meld 3.21.0.osx3 and macOS 14.2.1 (23C71) (Sonoma, Intel), I'm getting:
/usr/local/opt/git/libexec/git-core/mergetools/meld: line 172: 19388 Segmentation fault: 11 meld $LOCAL $REMOTE
I'm using meld with as a git difftool:
[diff]
tool = meld
[difftool "meld"]
cmd = meld $LOCAL $REMOTE
But it does not matter, it crashes purely through the UI too.

Works for me, Sonoma, M2 MacBook pro, thanks!
EDIT: my mistake, brew currently only has 3.21.0.osx3, downloading 3.21.0.osx4 manually works on an intel mac running sonoma.
ORIGINAL: I have meld installed from brew on intel, 14.2.1 and I'm getting a segfault when I try to launch meld from the cli with 2 folders as arguments. The script from syneart didn't help. I've attached my full segfault message from the Apple "problem report" dialog: meld_3.21.0.osx3_segfault.txt . If I launch from the cli, then try to select the folders via the UI, I get the same segfault, with this message at my terminal.
/Applications/Meld.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/gi/overrides/Gio.py:44: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I'm happy to try alternate builds, debug flags, compile from sources if someone can point me in a direction.
This application is amazing.
Systems Settings --> Privacy and security --> at the bottom will show the latest failed to open app (meld). you can now choose to open it. I'm on Sonoma 14.1.1, regular intel old mac. Meld opens for a second then crashes. It might be a differnt thing, and I can open a different bug in that case, but it seemed the above users didn't do ^ first. The meld app receives a SIGSEGV according to the stack trace
Please do not assume that we didn't do basic troubleshooting. I did, this app doesn't open on Apple Silicon. I have found an alternative app that works.
Any suggestion for an alternative app?
