Additional context
Nothing.

[ultra-black]

Also I'm using MCPPPP-mac tar.gz

[supsm]

Are there any mcpppp logs? they should be named MCPPPP-log.txt
also, what version of mcpppp was this?

[ultra-black]

No there isnt any logs, i followed the instructions.
Also it is 0.5.7

[supsm]

Are you on M1 mac or intel?

[ultra-black]

Intel i5.

[supsm]

Thanks for reporting, it may take a while to find out what the issue is and how to fix it

[ultra-black]

I will be patient, thanks!

I am unable to replicate on M1 chip with MacOS Monterey (version 12.1)

I think it might be because your OS is too old to run the application properly. The mac version is compiled on MacOS Big Sur (version 11), which has several changes over the version 10 MacOS such as Mojave and Catalina. Thus it is likely that MacOS versions before Big Sur will not work with the compiled releases.

The source code may still be viable on any MacOS version. You will have to compile it yourself on your Mac to test this, however.

[ultra-black]

Wait, so you mean I need to get the CLI version?
Im sorry for not knowing, as I said I'm not good at understanding code.

[supsm]

No, you would need to compile it from source. Don’t worry though, it isn’t super hard as this has cmake now.
You’d need to download cmake (you’ll want macos 10.13 or later) then follow the instructions here

[ultra-black]

Bit confused here, so I downloaded the source code... Now what do I do???
I didn't really understand because the build readme was confusing for me.

[supsm]

After downloading cmake and the source code,

1. open cmake-gui and set the source directory to the location of mcpppp source
2. Set the build directory to the same, but add /build at the end
3. Press configure, then generate
4. Open a terminal in the mcpppp folder and run cmake —build build
5. The built binaries should be in build/bin

I’ll probably make a tutorial or something in the future so it’s more clear

[ultra-black]

For the 2nd step it says.

Build directory does not exist, should I create it?

Directory: /Users/account/Desktop/MCPPPP-0.5-1.7/build

[supsm]

Yes create it
