Requires OS X 10.7

[crazydevman]

I just downloaded the latest version (1.0.6) and I get this error message when trying to open it up:

"You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later."

On your website it says this works for 10.5+, is this no longer the case?

Sorry I've been meaning to update that site for awhile to say 10.7+ (it now says that). I use xcode 10.7 to build hermes, and I don't know of a way to build for a lower version of OSX.

There are previous versions which work with 10.6, but sadly Pandora has updated it's API version since then. Until I find a way to compile for versions lower than 10.7, I won't be able to release version compatible with 10.6/10.5

The problem with this is that I'm still not sure how to compile Hermes for 10.6. It's certainly possible to just not use 10.7 APIs, but the resulting binary isn't compatible with 10.6. Do you know if this patch fixes this? Does a binary compiled with recent xcode run on 10.6 by just changing the deployment target? If it does, by all means I'll pull this in :)

[tresni]

I'm using XCode 4.0 to compile and run a binary on 10.6. That is the only difference between your code and what it took for me to make it run on 10.6.

While I have a machine running 10.7, it does not have XCode installed (and I'm currently remote) so I can't test. What I've been told is that if you are compiling using the 10.7 SDK then you don't have to remove the 10.7 specific APIs, simply change the MacOS Target and everything will auto compensate.

[alexcrichton]

Does this build work for you on 10.6?

[tresni]

Works for me on 10.6.8,

Awesome, thanks!
