I'm using 10.6.7 here and cannot reproduce the problem.

try delete config file, and try again
can you compile yourself ?

[Harrypoppins]

Thanks for your interest !

So what config files you''re talking about ? If it's "Residual preferences" it never been created (in user/library/preferences) when i launch residual, it don't launch at all.

For the compiling, do you have some tutorial (with some picture could be nice, I'm not english) ? I never do this.

Thanks & good night !

[Harrypoppins]

I've find an older version of Residual (with an old frontend of the interpretor : grimX)
This older version of Residual work on my mac ? It's strange, no ?

His conf file is : '.residualrc'

I think there's a problem of compatibility with the new version of Residual. (I hope in future Residual 'll work on Leopard)

[Harrypoppins]

Someone could build a version for 10.5 please.
Thanks for your interest.

This stems from a known "issue" (or design decision rather) with the latest SDL-version, their 64-bit build uses 10.6-only stuff, which makes even Universal 64/32-binaries incompatible with 10.5 if run on a 64-bit system. Right now our only Mac-build is 64-bit.

As a side-note, from what I read on SDLs errata, if Residual is built on 10.5, or only built as 32-bit, then it should work on both. I propose chosing to build 32-bit intel/PPC-Universal Binaries, and dropping 64-bit, or at least keeping 64-bit separate whenever 32-bit/PCC becomes a daily build. (Although, actually, a PPC-binary would work on all 3 :P albeit with rosetta)

[Harrypoppins]

Ok thanks for the info, this idea of sdl "only 10.6" is a shame for me (why ? commercial reasons ?), but I'm happy the user of 10.5 will have a compatible version of Residual (I hope soon).

[somaen]

Not really commercial reasons, just the fact that supporting 64-bit properly apparently wasnt possible without using 10.6-only stuff. This only applies to 64-bit SDL on mac though. (For their specific details regarding this, download SDL and have a look at the extra document in the dmg).

There is however nothing outside of the extra job of setting up the compilation, blocking the creation of a PPC/32-bit Intel Universal Binary now, but from what I understand, the compilation isn't done on a mac, so this is trickier than it sounds. I did however ask the guy having PPC-troubles in the forums to write up what he did, which should apply to you as well, If youre willing to compile yourself.

[somaen]

Now there's a PPC-build up, that should work through Rosetta for Intel-users on 10.5 for the moment, building a proper 10.5-Intel release won't be a priority for me any time soon. (As long as this works).
