[Doxygen-users] Doxygen 1.8.7 OS X app crashes on launch (10.6.8)

From: Stephen G. <Ste...@sc...> - 2014-05-13 16:39:53

It appears the Doxywizard 1.8.7 was built with a minimum SDK of 10.9.  When double-click launching the app on 10.6.8, it crashes immediately with no backtrace:

Any way around this without transferring code over to 10.9?

Hi Stephen,

I did build doxywizard on MacOSX 10.9, but with -mmacosx-version-min=10.5.

I can't check myself if it works on earlier versions than 10.9. Maybe someone else can comment on this.
You could also build doxygen yourself on 10.6.8. There is no reason it should not work.

  Dimitri

Thanks, Dimitri --

I was basing that on what someone posted on StackOverflow regarding this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23614679/doxygen-os-x-app-crashes-on-launch-10-6-8

This is what they posted:


Doxywizard 1.8.7 and its library dependencies were built with a deployment target of 10.9:

otool -l Doxygen.app/Contents/MacOS/Doxywizard | fgrep --after-context=3 LC_VERSION_MIN
cmd LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX
cmdsize 16
version 10.9
sdk 10.9


This means the application can only be run on a system running OS X 10.9 or later. Either support for older operating systems was removed in this release or the binaries were accidentally built with an incorrect deployment target.

Where is the Xcode project to build the app that can be downloaded?

No, doxygen uses old Unix style ./configure scripts & Makefiles ;-)

The problem is most likely that I switched to a newer Qt version while migrating to Mavericks and this version 
didn't set the -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 explicitly, and then the default is to build for the latest greatest only (why Apple, why?)

The Doxygen package consists of the GUI (Doxygen.app/Contents/MacOS/Doxywizard) and the command line tool
(Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen). The command line tool does work on 10.5 (as you can check with otool).

So while I figure out how to fix this, as a workaround you could also
- use the command line tool directly
- copy the latest doxygen command line tool over an older doxygen package where the wizard still works
  (then you won't be able to configure the most recently added options, but other than that you should be fine).

  Dimitri
