FWIW, I just installed 10.13 / High Sierra on a test machine. AOO 4.1.4-RC5 opened up just fine. Because it was a virgin install, I had to go thru the "setup" phase. After that closed-and-opened-and-closed multiple times with no errors.

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

Re: AOO 4.1.4 – Error message

As a test, would it be possible for a Mac developer to rebuild with the source code for RC5 but the process and libraries from RC4, and/or the other way round? That will tell us whether the problem is a source code change or a build process change. On 10/16/2017 11:33 AM, Dave Fisher wrote:

Re: AOO 4.1.4 – Error message

The next bump for AOO to 4.2.0 also includes a number of other "gotchas" related to macOS. For example, QtKit in 10.12 is deprecated and removed, meaning that we cannot build the avmedia component using any SDK older than 10.12. plus, we cannot build with anything older than a 10.9 SDK due to C++
