Any working Mac builds yet?

I have been playing with librecad on my PC at work for a couple of days and wanted to try it at home on my mac (10.6.8) but the download crashes immediately on trying to install.

Having read some older posts here about the same issue, I was wondering if there was a fix yet for osx.?

Dave,

we are working on getting LibreCAD into macports.

We already have a working version for Mavericks (using LibreCAD 2.0.2),

for older versions of LibreCAD we properly need to revert back to the 1.0.x branch because of the c++11 requirement,

but when we have that solved we should have at least a version of LibreCAD on OSX running reliable.

btw, you can upgrade your mac to mavericks for free ;)

Yeah, I know about the upgrade but I have a feeling some other software will fail if I do it :(

I will do some more research though because it's about time to upgrade anyway, if that's the way forward it will be worth it to get librecad going at home

I suppose you can try MacPorts first.

Mavericks build seems to be working fine.

Will be donating soon, it's good software.

Dave,

what route did you take to install LibreCAD macports or the dmg download?

Hi

I just went to the downloads page and selected the mavericks build option, downloaded, opened it and copied the file to my applications folder.

Thanks for the info!

That will help us guide other users using OSX.
