Running rbutil 1.2.4 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 fails with "Dyld Error"

(1/2) > >>

strangefeatures:
Has anyone else experienced this? I can't run the new rbutil on OS X. I haven't had a problem with previous builds. When I try and open the extracted app, I get a dialog saying "The application rbutilqt quit unexpectedly" (even after downloading it again). If I go into the error report, I get the following:

I'm a little surprised this hasn't happened for anyone else, as it's very reliably reproducible for me.

Version 1.2.3 runs without issues (or at least loads up OK - I haven't tried installing with it for a while)

Ok, I've checked this problem. It turns out that something strange happens when creating the dmg image -- something insists on inserting the libusb dylib, even if it's linked statically. And even worse, it inserts the wrong version of libusb -- the one inserted looks like the binary for OS X 10.6, which obviously won't run on older versions.

Can you try if the zipped application bundle from this url works? Strangely otool reports the libusb issue only when creating a dmg image from that.

Oh, the reason is simple: the number of OS X users of Rockbox Utility seems to be rather limited. Also, the binary is now built on a different machine, and its build on Snow Leopard. Which makes it possible to fail by inserting libraries that are simply too new. And as the only Mac I've got around is running SL I have no way to check against older versions (and there are no other developers actively working on OS X).

Awesome - that one seems to work fine (at least to start up and point it to my ipod - I haven't installed anything yet). Thanks.

Good to hear. No idea what happens with that dmg creation, I'll look into it later. We can always fallback to application bundles for distribution, but it's a bit annoying -- our build scripts *just* got into shape :(

chrisspelberg:
I can build the Leopard 32-bit version of the application here.
