Hello,

Is that a non-x86 macbook ?

Then I think you will have to try to compile QLC+ from sources.

The problem is not quite QLC+, but the Qt libraries.
Yesterday I checked with a friend of mine, and with the current Qt 5.5.1, the minimum required OSX version is 10.7.

I am planning to build a 4.10.2 with Qt 4.8.5, but I don't know when, and if a Qt4 build will succeed with the current deployment files.

I would say the last released version with Qt4 was QLC+ 4.8.4. After that I switched to Qt5.

Update: Qt 4.8.5 and Qt 4.8.6 don't even install on El Capitan. Fuck.

you said :

Please How to do that on my MacBook 10.6.8 ? ( 2,16 gHz Intel core 2 duo)

found on forge source : this file : qt-opensource-OsX- universal-4.8.6.7z but how to use it ?

For info : QLC+ 4.8.4 works on that MacBook but DMX USB Plugin is not disponible ( no out check box on list)

thanks for all Massimo YP

QLC+ bundles the Qt libraries in the DMG package, so you don't need to install anything.
Problem is that recent OSX versions don't allow to install older Qt versions, so at the moment I'm not able to build a recent QLC+ version against older Qt libraries.

i understand but i m surprise that Old version of QLC + ( i suppose bundled with old QT libraries ) could' not provide USB DMX plugin in old OsX environment ....

( for info QLC 3.2.1 on OsX 10.6.8 provide working DMX USB plugin for My Open Enttec interface)

I know almost nothing about OSX, but I checked QT release notes and 5.3.2 seems to be the last one that supported 10.6 (5.4.0 release notes say that they've dropped 10.6).

Just tried to build with Qt 5.3.2 on El Capitan.
It fails miserably with a creepy error:

Code: Select all

Project ERROR: Could not resolve SDK path for 'macosx10.8'

[EDIT] after tweaking the mkspec I managed to produce a GIT build with Qt 5.3.2

@yvanp: please try QLC+_4.10.2-TEST-OSX-10.6-20151212.dmg and let us know how it goes

hello just tested your QLC+_4.10.2-TEST-OSX-10.6-20151212.dmg on my MacBook / OsX 10.6.8

Loading and working but sadly ENTTEC open dmx USB interface not recognized

No Enttec DMX Output on load and and no DMX USB plugin on in/out panel ??

What GIT means ?

thanks YP
