Homebrew Formulator & OS 10.6.X

[kjyost]

I recently upgraded my Mac's OS from 10.4 to 10.6 and now every time I attempt to open Homebrew Formulator it crashes. I am wondering if this is a known issue (I am not expecting it to get resolved, as the software is archived at this point) or if I can do something on my machine to get it working again...

Thoughts or experiences from HF users?

I wasn't familiar with it until I saw your post. I downloaded it and started it up seemingly without incident. I am running 10.6.7 a MacBook. Not sure what the difference is, but it seems to run fine for me.

I personally use Brew Target. It is still under active development and I am very happy with it.

I also tried to install the same version a couple times with no success.

Any thoughts?

Sorry, I forgot you need to install a version of Qt. I have always had it on my systems because I used to do a lot of stuff with Linux.

If you are running 10.4 you will need the "Carbon" build.

10.5-10.6 can use either the "Carbon" build or the newer "Cocoa" build.

Qt is a cross platform (Mac-Linux-Windoze) window/interface management tool. It allows developers to write an application once and deploy it to multiple operating systems.

Any thoughts?
