[OSX] PCBnew crashes on startup right after install from nightly build

[StrangeMan]

Just downloaded

kicad-r5763.20150617-034528.dmg
and
kicad-extras.20150617-034628.dmg

and installed both according to their instructions. When I startup kicad the PCBnew button is greyed out and when I click it, the following error message pops up:

11:46:33: dlopen(/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/PlugIns/_pcbnew.kiface, 10): Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/CoreGraphics

I'm using OSX 10.7. I never used or installed kicad before.

I'll take a look.

Can you try with any daily build from today (july 2 2015) or newer?

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

This is also a deployment target issue, I suspect.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

Would someone please confirm if this bug is still valid with more recent nightly builds?

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

Yes, this is still valid but we need to decide whether 10.7 is a supported configuration or not. We started a discussion on the list some time back about dropping support for 10.7 but we never finalized the discussion.

[Otmar (otlist09)]

Assuming that this is a duplicate to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1463614
Then it's happening in 10.8 as well.

[StrangeMan (jonop)]

I had issues with other software not supported on 10.7 so I migrated to 10.10
I still have the harddrive with 10.7 installed on it. I could test the issue again, but I need some more time due to issues IRL.

I can understand if 10.7 was decided not to be supported anymore. Keep resources focused.

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

While this is not an exact duplicate of #1463614, the root cause is the same. If that issue is being seen on 10.8, then this needs to be addressed regardless of whether 10.7 is supported or not.

The fix should be to rebuild Cairo for the nightly builds against either the 10.7 or 10.8 SDK, depending on which is deemed the minimum supported OS version for kicad.

[Adam Wolf (adamwolf)]

I have a feeling the nightly builds just use the cairo from brew. I will
take a look.

@Adam Wolf, any update on this?

[Adam Wolf (adamwolf)]

So this looks like it's due to the Cairo on the build server being not
compatible with OS X 10.7, on the surface.

However, the Cairo packages haven't changed since the first OS X build, and
they claim they're 10.7 compatible.

Hmm. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I'm running the July 28th build on my 10.7 partition and everything is
fine for me so far.
(I ended up running Fedora on my laptop instead since I know most
people are targeting builds for 10.8 / 10.9 nowadays.)

Can we close this bug report? It does seem that it was addressed by Adam's nightly builds.

[Adam Wolf (adamwolf)]

I think it's ok to close.

Since this seems to be a packaging issuse that has been resolved, I mark this a such.
