Additional context
Nothing.

[ultra-black]

Also I'm using MCPPPP-mac tar.gz

[supsm]

Are there any mcpppp logs? they should be named MCPPPP-log.txt
also, what version of mcpppp was this?

[ultra-black]

No there isnt any logs, i followed the instructions.
Also it is 0.5.7

[supsm]

Are you on M1 mac or intel?

[ultra-black]

Intel i5.

[supsm]

Thanks for reporting, it may take a while to find out what the issue is and how to fix it

[ultra-black]

I will be patient, thanks!

I am unable to replicate on M1 chip with MacOS Monterey (version 12.1)

I think it might be because your OS is too old to run the application properly. The mac version is compiled on MacOS Big Sur (version 11), which has several changes over the version 10 MacOS such as Mojave and Catalina. Thus it is likely that MacOS versions before Big Sur will not work with the compiled releases.

The source code may still be viable on any MacOS version. You will have to compile it yourself on your Mac to test this, however.

[ultra-black]

Wait, so you mean I need to get the CLI version?
Im sorry for not knowing, as I said I'm not good at understanding code.

[supsm]

No, you would need to compile it from source. Don’t worry though, it isn’t super hard as this has cmake now.
You’d need to download cmake (you’ll want macos 10.13 or later) then follow the instructions here

[ultra-black]

Bit confused here, so I downloaded the source code... Now what do I do???
I didn't really understand because the build readme was confusing for me.

[supsm]

After downloading cmake and the source code,

1. open cmake-gui and set the source directory to the location of mcpppp source
2. Set the build directory to the same, but add /build at the end
3. Press configure, then generate
4. Open a terminal in the mcpppp folder and run cmake —build build
5. The built binaries should be in build/bin

I’ll probably make a tutorial or something in the future so it’s more clear

[ultra-black]

For the 2nd step it says.

Build directory does not exist, should I create it?

Directory: /Users/account/Desktop/MCPPPP-0.5-1.7/build

[supsm]

Yes create it

[ultra-black]

When I try to Configure this happens

This is what It said:
CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
No project() command is present. The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must
contain a literal, direct call to the project() command. Add a line of
code such as

project(ProjectName)

near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required().

CMake is pretending there is a "project(Project)" command on the first
line.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Configuring done
When I try to Generate
This happens

This is what it says
Configuring done
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (add_executable):
No SOURCES given to target: Source.cpp

[supsm]

Are you sure you downloaded mcpppp source code? Also it should be the latest commit not the release

[ultra-black]

Oh, im gonna try that tommrow. I have to go for now. Thanks for the help

[ultra-black]

Are you sure you downloaded mcpppp source code? Also it should be the latest commit not the release

Wait, how do you do that again? I forgot

[supsm]

Go to the main project page, press the green Code button, and Download ZIP

[ultra-black]

Yes, it works. but what do i do with the cmake —build build?

[supsm]

You open a terminal in the mcpppp directory and run that

[ultra-black]

So I drag it into the terminal???
Sorry if im wasting you time.

[supsm]

You have to open a terminal then cd to the mcpppp directory

[FwuffyPetsOwO]

quick tip: if you go into finder and find the directory that contains the mcpppp folder, you can right-click on the mcpppp folder and then select "copy" and then you can paste into your terminal cd command to get there

[ultra-black]

Everything worked, however. It says it was built for macOS 11.6+
And It didnt let me open it.

[supsm]

Honestly I don't think I can help you anymore at this point... I'm completely clueless too

[ultra-black]

Well, i just need a texture pack converted.
Thats all I need..
Im gonna send it later.

[ultra-black]

w h a t

generated something for macos 11 when I'm in 10.14

bruh

[supsm]

Hang on… are you running the one you just built? It should be in build/bin and named MCPPPP-gui

In the logs you sent, it was just on the desktop and it’s named MPPPP-mac instead

[ultra-black]

Wait, if its in the thing in MCPPPP-master > build > bin there is nothing.

[supsm]

Did you run cmake —build build?
Can you send logs of that

[ultra-black]

Here are the logs.

[supsm]

Did you configure and generate beforehand?
Also it seems like it might need pkgconfig, but I don’t know how to install it

[ultra-black]

Yeah.

[supsm]

Can you try downloading this one
https://github.com/supsm/MCPPPP/blob/master/bin/MCPPPP-mac.tar.gz

[ultra-black]

Oh shoot I accedintily put my real name in..
Can you delete that from the discord? Please.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[ultra-black]

It seems like you put the Catalina version
Not the Mojave one
Lol

[supsm]

I think 10.15 is the earliest GitHub actions supports

[ultra-black]

I'm on another Mac I don't really use, which has Big Sur 11.2
I tried downloading it from the realses but it didnt work. It crashed.
But when i tried this it opened

Can you try downloading this one https://github.com/supsm/MCPPPP/blob/master/bin/MCPPPP-mac.tar.gz

[supsm]

For whatever reason, macs can't open applications compiled with a later version of macos. The second one I sent you was built with 10.15, and the releases are built with 11.6. In the future they will be built with 10.15, I previously did not know macs had this issue.

[FwuffyPetsOwO]

I assume the reason why Macs don't run applications compiled on newer MacOS is the same reason why the JVM doesn't run files compiled on newer Java versions, even if the code itself is perfectly compatible.

[supsm]

A little update on this… the code has just been updated to c++20. Unfortunately the versions of Xcode on the macOS 10.15 machines are unable to compile it, so it will now need a requirement of macOS 11.6+ again

[ultra-black]

Yup Can comfirm
