0.11.3 64bit for Mac 10.6 to 10.8 Crash

Asked by Alchymy Laboratory

Hi, have tried the 64bit version of 0.11.3 on my iMac and it crashes. Are there any known issues, as this seems to be the most downloaded version? I can provide the dump from OS X if that helps.

Thanks

Yes, give me dump, please.

Will do, I have a suspicion this is connected to the error when attempting to compile stellarium from source on my iMac - if 64 bit is the default it compiles to. Is there a 'switch' to try and compile at 32 bit?

Please read CMakeLists.txt file - we have instructions for OSX for compile both intel and both ppc binaries.

The dump shows the code type as X86-64(native), however if I try and compile source for this then it fails with:

ENDIF()

Am I selecting the correct Architecture?

Have you tried deleting the build directory, and making a new one, then rerunning cmake?

Yes - deleted builds/macosx. Below is the log from the 64bit version downloaded from this site which crashes, seems to have some issue opening windows.

Can you check linked libraries?

Revision history for this message
Alchymy Laboratory (alchymylab) said : 		#9

Will check linked libs.

Is SET(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "x86_64") for generating 64 bit version only ?

What does SET(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "i386;x86_64") do, is this 32 bit only ?

Revision history for this message
Alexander Wolf (alexwolf) said : 		#10

SET(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "x86_64") for 64 bit only; SET(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "i386;x86_64") for universal binary for both bits

Ok - will stick to x86_64. As it happens have just downloaded Stellarium-0.11.4.dmg and this now works on my iMac and log.txt shows 64bit! Will restart compile testing with 0.11.4 source.
