Stepmania does not run on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)

[amoose136]

It's not terribly important right now as the OS is still in beta but I would be nice to have this issue worked out by the time it is officially released. Will attempt compiling on xcode 6 beta later today but do not have high hopes for it to work any differently.

Crash report is as follows:

If the problem is indeed related to the audio, as mentioned on the forum, this would probably be a good place to start with trying to figure out what changed:
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/mac/documentation/General/Reference/APIDiffsMacOSX10_10SeedDiff/frameworks/AudioUnit.html

but I guess now is the time to mention that nobody currently active on the team really has experience with OS X audio(... Unless I'm misremembering.), so this is one of the situations where we could probably use some outside help.

(The problem might be much deeper than that, however. I'm no Mac expert.)

I am not a programmer but if I can get it to properly compile on Mavericks I'll see if I can get it working on Yosemite. It's difficult though because my Yosemite machine is a Hackintosh so that adds an extra layer of instability to already beta software.

Still happens with Beta 4, on OS X 10.10 GM3.

Fixed when pull request #324 was merged

[JeffreyATW]

Indeed - just built master on Xcode 6.0 and it worked fine. Thanks!

I just installed SM5-beta4 on a clean OS X Yosemite on a genuine MacBook and encountered the same crash-on-executing problem. Deleting that and installing SM5-beta4a seems to have resolved it.

[host1812]

Same with me. Could we get patch available for download?
Or alternatively instruction how to build. I'm OK with building, if no some extraordinary setup needed in xCode.

Been playing Stepmania on SM5-beta4a without a hitch for the past week. Seems a-okay so far.
