Upgraded to OSX10.5 and now IDE crashses

Hi, I'm sure there's a simple explanation for this, but I used to use the BMax IDE on my Macbook Pro on OSX10.4. I recently upgraded to 10.5 using an official OSX DVD, and today I tried running BMax for the first time but it bombs when I compile even something as simple as Print "Hi". This is what I'm getting. Any help much appreciated!



Do I need to reinstall Xcode or something or use a different version of the IDE? I'm using V1.30 right now.

rebuild mods?

reinstall xcode?

MaxIDE seems to run "ranlibs" (no, I don;t know what it is either) when it first runs, so maybe that would do it? I think you can run something like a "bmk ranlibdir" command line ?

Yes, I would get the newest Xcode and rebuild the modules.

If it was that then he would be getting this error message.
mod/any.mod/any.mod/any.release.macos.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)

Probably xcode wants reinstalled.

OK thanks all. I'll try reinstalling xcode from the new OSX DVD.

You'd probably be better off getting it from Apple's developer site. The one on the DVD is older.

Yep -- download XCode from Apple's developer connection and install the latest OS X updates. 10.5.7 is the current version and the first beta seed of 10.5.8 was released a few days ago. And rebuild everything.

OK will try that. I installed the XCode from the DVD but it didn't work. Same crash.

After rereading your log, try removing cfg\ide.ini as MaxIDE may be crashing due to a font issue in the output frame.


Grey Alien(Posted 2009) [#12]
Awesome. The fix worked (rebuilding modules also caused the crash). Thanks loads! Guess the upgrade must have removed some font the ini was referencing.
