PureBasic APP not running on other Macs

[coder14]

I am able to run my PureBasic Mac code on my 2 Macs 10.7.5 (PureBasic 5.40 & Xcode 4.6.2) and 10.9.5 (PureBasic 5.40 & Xcode 6.1.1) interchangeably.

But when I compile on the 10.9.5 I can run the APP on the 10.7.5, but the APP compiled on the 10.7.5 cannot run on the 10.9.5. The security settings on both Macs is "Allow applications downloaded from ANYWHERE".

Why?

It does not launch. The icon animates but nothing happens. If I try to run the app inside the show folder contents it opens an empty terminal window.

Can you show the main part of you code?

It is the same for any code even simple open window does not work. If compiled on the Lion it will run on the Lion but not the Mavericks. But if compiled on the Mavericks it will run on both.

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 100, 100, "")
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

These two lines must work.

Try to do right click on your app and choose open.

@Wolfram Thank you for your help but right click open is the same as double click.

Better you run it from the command line. Maybe the output tells you something?

I tried to run it from Terminal but it says "command not found". I cd to Contents and MacOS but still "command not found".

coder14,

go to the folder:

Code: Select all

cd /Applications/your.app/Contents/MacOS/

run it using ./ (dot slash):

Code: Select all

./yourAppName

Post the result here.

Got something!!

With the dot slash I get "Permission denied". The security is set to "Allow apps downloaded from Anywhere".

My security is set to default and no problems with downloaded APP´s

Check with DMG-Creater. http://dmgcreator.sourceforge.net
Perhaps the security settings are copied.

No, if some thing is wrong with the security settings a window will pop up and ask "these program runs the first time on your mac. do you want to allow that?"

If this doesn't help, check the permission of your app. You can do this easily with Batchmod.

try setting the executable bit

Code: Select all

chmod +x /Applications/your.app/Contents/MacOS/YourApp
