[Linuxsampler-devel] Mac installer modernized

[Andreas P. <and...@ou...>]

Hi,

As you probably know, we have a build system that compiles the code and
creates installers for Windows and Mac every time a change is done in
the source code.

The installer for macOS is now modernized:

* All components (libgig, linuxsampler, etc) are built with a newer
compiler, one that supports C++11. C++11 is also enabled in the builds.

* Third-party libraries are updated to newer versions, especially: GTK
(used by gigedit) is now version 3, and Qt (used by QSampler) is version 5.

* The upgrade of Qt makes QSampler work again. It has been broken in the
Mac installer for a long time, as Qt 5 has been a requirement.

* The minimum required macOS version is now 10.7. This means PowerPC
Macs are no longer supported.

* 32-bit Intel binaries are no longer included. Please let us know if
this is a problem to you.

The new installer can be found on the download page on
www.linuxsampler.org, in snapshot builds from today (20190310). Feel
free to test it and report any issues!
