These cookies ensure basic functionalities and security features of the website, anonymously. Using old hardware and operating systems is fine, but part of that life is accepting that you may be not be able to run the absolute latest version of everything else.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. There is also a workaround - use an older version of Syncthing, or build yourself (maybe). It’s not that I don’t care, but it is an obscure issue that affects less than a tenth of a percent of the user base so there are lots of bigger fish to fry. I think someone who actually has one of these and wants it to work will have to carry the torch. However I can’t debug it, lacking the relevant hardware. I’m also suspicious against the illegal instruction bit, as that is another problem that shouldn’t be caused by linking against the system libraries. To make it work on pre-10.8 OSX we need to disable the filesystem notification feature, making it a strictly worse edition and causing support issues for the people who download it accidentally and wonder why it doesn’t work. It’ll mostly just work if someone uses it by accident on modern hardware.

#Box sync for mac 10.6.8 64 Bit

Currently the 32 bit build is equivalent to the 64 bit build, except it uses a crappier instruction set and will crash if it needs more than 500 or so megs of RAM. They could, and this is part of the problem. I think any 64-bit Mac would also run a 32-bit build. Also, I think you’ve said that Go requires at least Mac 10.8 and stripping Go out of the picture would be architecturally impossible, right?Ĭalmh, you mentioned releasing “older” 32-bit Mac builds. I would be happy to do compile and release for older compatibility, but I don’t have the skill set to do so. So maybe you can release a build for older machines every 3rd or 5th version or something like that. It might be reasonable to think of older OSes as a different platform type.Īs a continuity issue, no need to reach back and support everything, but if syncthing did/does support an OS, and you bring a user on board, that is a user base worth keeping because they’re already invested in syncthing.Ĭalmh, you mentioned releasing “older” 32-bit Mac builds. Ultimately, I guess it’s a developer decision - what range of users will syncthing support? Those with the newest and best, or a larger range of users? Syncthing already pursues a reputation of broad platform types (each with some ops and feature limits).

#Box sync for mac 10.6.8 mac os

I’m running the same Mac OS as the OP in the thread Calmh referenced. 42 immediately abort with an illegal instruction. At least in my case, I have dealt with this type of thing before and manually allow updates when I have time to deal with crashes.īut “illegal instruction” seems to be a hard kill, and not an OS-version dependent thing. The prior poster simply automatically had syncthing quit working with no explanation.

For others, at a minimum, please make NOT upgrading versions the install default.

It’s all about what you really want: are you doing software new coolness or are you answering a need among the user community?įor me, it looks like I’ll be stuck at v.40 forever. However, at least hear the other side from the user community. I understand that I don’t get to choose the development paradigm because you have development skills beyond me. I want Syncthing to become one of my base apps that I can trust for years. Is the goal to write a cool program with the newest technology -OR- is the goal to write something that users really value? I think it should be the latter, but I don’t own that decision because you are the one putting in all the effort to develop this program.įor perspective, TotalCommander and Irfanview have become my absolute GO-TO apps, mostly because they have been stable, with some increasing features, for about 20 years. If I spend 40% of my time doing upgrades, updates, version repairs, and negotiating whatever someone else things needs to be changed, that is a burden.

I’m sure you’re a mean and keen program developer that is part of offering Syncthing for free to the community. If I DID understand what you meant to say, that makes me sad. If I misunderstood, please repost clarifying what you mean. Your curt reply seems to indicate that you are aware of the problem and have no cause to mitigate or change it. Based on the demeanor of your reply, I think you meant “I personally hope that we don’t support OS that are not supported by the vendor itself”. Your comment is confusing, probably because you left one too many “not” in it.
