2020.4.0 does not open on OS X

Postby awen » Mon Nov 30, 2020 3:50 pm

Hi,

After downloading the latest nightly build from 2020-11-28, I find that the package is missing a library. The OS X problem report says the following:

Dyld Error Message:
dyld: Using shared cache: 9F6FFF1F-4096-355B-B037-8DCE73A7AA42
Library not loaded: @rpath/libosgTerrain.131.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/MacOS/fgfs
Reason: image not found

I checked the package contents and there is no file libosgTerrain.131.dylib in /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/Frameworks/. So where can I find that library? Thanks!

Unless you want to develop it further, you really shouldn't be using the nightly at the moment.

I'm trying nightly because I want to test out the photo scenery feature that is merged in next. Is there another way I can try that?

Apologies in advance, if this is a dumb question, but how often do the "nightly" builds get built? The reason I ask is that the FlightGear.app I got just now has a created and modified date/time of 4 November 2020 at 16:57 (same as the one I got a week ago). Same size also (88,429,419 bytes).

they should be updated nightly but there are times when jenkins get grumpy and the builds fail... in those cases, the new nightly is not built or available...

one can see the build status here: http://build.flightgear.org:8080/

Aha, so the place to check first seems to be

http://build.flightgear.org:8080/job/Mac-nightly/lastSuccessfulBuild/

every day or so and, if it says "No changes", you know there is no point downloading it.
