Comment # 10
on bug 10640
from Andreas Fink
1. X11 is no longer part of OS X since release 10.7. We are having 10.10 today!
Its like if you would say, you build it for Debian release 5 and it works
under Debian 5 but its broken in Debian 8 but you won't fix it.
2. Today >90% of OS X users use 10.10 (see example here:
http://update.omnigroup.com)
3. To have X11 under OS X requires the install of XQuarz and Apple officially
links to it.
4. The problem could be easily fixed by
- have a version for up to 10.7 with X11 and a version for 10.8 and above using
XQuarz.
or
- have a post install script which simply fixes the dependencies by calling
install_name_tool <oldlibpath> <newlibpath> <binary/or lib to fix>
The proper fix is not to do a symlink from /usr/X11 to /opt/X11. The proper fix
is to refer to the correct libraries in the right path during build time and
the XQuarz libraries do in fact have the path /opt/X11 built into them which
means your build process is running on a outdated machine which links against
libraries in /usr/X11 which don't exist since summer 2012 when OS X 10.8 was
released.
If you don't support XQuarz then you don't support 10.8, 10.9, 10.10. Then
please say so on the webpage so people don't download a version they can't use.
It did properly work on the previous version (1.12.2) and now you break it in
1.12.4 again.
