What about Spark 0.5, which is already being tested by CCRL - when will that be on general release?

Thanks. The binary works fine on my Core 2 Duo MacBook running OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard).

Unfortunately Spark 0.4 does not run on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Macbook with Core2Duo). Only this error message appears

Code: Select all

$ ./spark-0.4-osx-mp 
dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
Trace/BPT trap

The previous version does well

Code: Select all

$ ./spark-0.3a-mp 
spark-0.3a

Perhaps Allard needs to recompile with

Code: Select all

$CFLAGS = -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.5

Thanks for the OS X binary, Allard! I wish more of the closed-source guys would release OS X binaries, and I look forward to testing Spark some time soon.

Worth a try, but it didn't do the trick for Stockfish. I still haven't been able to compile a binary compatible with 10.5.

By the way, I am very surprised that so many people are still using 10.5. I thought everybody would have upgraded by now. Snow Leopard is awesome, and the upgrade from Leopard is ridiculously cheap.

You also need to export a particular environment variable, to use the legacy linker format:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="10.5"

Thanks. Will the resulting binary then work with both 10.5 and 10.6?

[Allard Siemelink]

Thanks, I've uploaded a new version, could you try if it is ok now?

You're welcome. Anyway, building a mac version is not hard at all,
the changes compared to the linux version are minimal.
Just hope that the recompile (with -mmacosx-version-min=10.5) will work...
