Installed, but it won’t launch. Will this thing run on Snow Leopard?

OS X 10.6 should be the minimum supported version, but I have no means of testing it. Does it say anything about why it won’t launch? If not, maybe when you try to launch it from the console?

Nothing when I do open -a Tiled In either case the icon shows briefly like it is going to launch and then vanishes. Rebooted, and issue still occurs, so launched Console app and tried launching again, this time got:

Hmm, could you check whether you have the file `/usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib`? This seems to indicate that it is missing which would probably mean 10.6 is not actually supported when Tiled is compiled against the released Qt 5.4.

That file is definitely not there. Looks like it doesn’t ship with Snow Leopard. Any chance you can recompile to work on my platform? Not likely that I’m going to upgrade to a newer release as I have hardware that won’t work on newer OS X releases…

I can definitely set up builds against Qt 5.3 or even Qt 4.8 in the hope that this may still work on OS X 10.6, but I’ll need some time for that. I’ll try to get around to it in the coming days. It may also be that I need to use an older version of Xcode or change some option somewhere, of course.

Alternatively, you can install Qt and compile Tiled yourself.

Or in the meantime, just use an older release of Tiled. You can find them at [https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/releases](https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/releases)

Thanks, I’ve downloaded Tiled 0.8.0 and that runs. Internet research doesn’t give me high hope that QT5.3 can be installed and compiled against on 10.6…

Hmm, I think you should be able to use Tiled 0.9.1 as well at least.
