Dennis
my hardware pegs me at High Sierra.
After a little fuss where John Hoyt bent over backwards to help I built my release from the Source Forge ansible recipe.
I recommend doing all in VM.

Apple make it hard to get an Install image. I had to install on my pegged machine, get the install dmg, restore my machine from timemachine and then build a VM.
All the internet copies of High Sierra I found would not work

Hi Dennis - I'll look into it, I have a Big Sur machine that I can test out
on (usually don't use that one for Mythfrontend). Sourceforge seems to be
having issues currently - so I may not get to it until the weekend.

Did the core dump occur after trying to open the application or somewhere
else (like traversing the menus or trying to play an application)?

Did you get a crash log / notice from macOS? If so, that may point to
which dylib caused the crash.

In regards to the notice - I need to update that. I was building with VMs
locally for a while, but that became cumbersome and moved to GitHub CI to
build.

Regards,
John

I managed to recreate the segfault locally. It appreats a regression in
the build script isn't updating all libmyth*.dylibs to point internally.
I'm working up a fix now and will push to the CI builders once I get a
chance to test locally.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Also, thank you for reporting the issue!

Apologies for the delay on this. I've been battling what I thought were
rpath issues. But I am now beginning to think I'm experiencing code
signing issues. I can get the unsigned App built on the Catalina CI to run
on a "clean" Big Sur system, but cannot get a signed App built on Big Sur
to run in the same environment.

I'll take another look tomorrow with fresh eyes.

Just a minor update. I have confirmed that it is not a code signing issue
as App bundles built on the Big Sur CI run on clean Monterey and Ventura
systems.

From my testing, the issue appears to be strangely isolated to Big Sur (and
possibly 11.7.3) - if anyone is experiencing issues on Monterey or Ventura
please let me know. I'm working up a debug build currently.

The main culprit is a crash in libmythui.33.33.0.0.dylib (or possibly
libmythbase.33.33.0.0.dylib). I'm hoping the debug build may help me
isolate the issue. It's possible an update to the github Big Sur CI chain
introduced a new issue that needs to be worked around either in the code or
build/packaging.

John tnx for your update. Let me know if I can help.

Will do, and thank you again for finding it!

BTW - the v33 built on Catalina works successfully on Big Sur.
Functionally, it should be the same with the exception that I don't code
sign the Catalina versions (Apple updated the code signing and notarization
process significantly in Big Sur).

Dennis,
Just a quick update - I've tracked down the problem. It turned out to be a
regression in the code caused by Apple deprecating a couple symbols in 11.7
that weren't scheduled to deprecate until 12.

I'll be posting PRs shortly. Once they are accepted I'll kick off the CI
chain so working app bundles are made available.

Again - a big thank you for catching this.

Regards,
John

Hi Dennis,

The PRs were accepted and I kicked off the CI chain this morning. I've
additionally just successfully tested the built App bundles on my Big Sur
machine. I believe the builds posted on sourceforge for both fixess/33 and
master should be working again, please let me know if you have any issues..

Regards,
John

Hi Dennis - It looks like you're running the auto build from Saturday which
will crash (the regressions didn't get fixed until yesterday). Would you
mind downloading the latest version which should be
MythFrontend-x86_64-11.7.3-v33.1-4-gc273ed0f9a.dmg

Hopefully that one gets you up and running again.

John,
Succes!!!

Indeed the latest version is working (on Big Sur version 11.7.4) MythFrontend-x86_64-11.7.3-v33.1-4-gc273ed0f9a.dmg

Thanks a lot for all your hard work.

Regards,
Dennis
