Hi guys,
I don't have osx 10.5, but someone just told me that he only gets a
blank window on start-up.
Yes, that's the behaviour you'd see.
I think we decided that Pharo only supports 10.6 and newer… it is very
complicated
to support that many many different old OS versions.
The current is 10.8, supporting 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 is already quite a lot, I
think.
I was not ready for a new machine, nor wanting to take the risk of an
upgrade, so I found a solution to run on OSX 10.5.8. I was able to
modify the code to compile on 10.5.8. IIRC, the only reason it was not
compiling was because of usage of newer OpenGL API calls that are in
10.6 and up. Since it's only development being done on the machine
(while deployment is on Linux), the solution works for me, for the moment.
I agree, the core team should not be concerned with supporting old OS
versions, which even Apple doesn't support.
Maybe the doc/REAMDE/website needs to make it clear that MacOSX 10.6 and
up is required, because of the newer OpenGL API (amongst other reasons).
