Hi - I’m not ready to build at the moment.
Some observations about macOS - The way our Mac versions work on the latest macOS releases is problematic in several ways. This issue adds one more tricky point. (1) We do not sign with an Apple Developer account. (2) Security Preferences need to be adjusted to open OpenOffice. (3) Because of (1) and (2) you have to use Control-click to open OpenOffice. (4) If you have Microsoft Word installed then it wants to open ODT files if you double-click on them. (5) To install from the DMG drag and drop no longer works. You have to Copy and Paste to the Applications folder. One goal for 4.2 should be to fix all of these issues. The trouble is somewhere after the window and the lock file are created.
