Re: [Flightgear-devel] FGElev and macOS

[Rhys A. <rhy...@gm...>]

That's great, thanks. Will be useful to have. It may be worth looking into
a homebrew script in the future, but those that know of the existence of
fgelev and have a need to use it on mac should know how to access it in its
current location.

On another note - macOS .app outputs are failing apple notarization, build
logs say this is because "You must first sign the relevant contracts
online.", This causes the "Apple cannot verify this app is free of malware"
message on 10.15+, only way to bypass this is to either disable system
integrity protection which i have seen some users doing, or moving to
Applications, right clicking, and then pressing open.
