LIPO?

[dunbarx]

I all of a sudden started getting about three of these during a standalone build.
Any reason for this?

LC is not used for Liposuction.

Installing upgrades to macOS 11 requires you reinstall the command line tools each time:

Richmond.

I made no such OS upgrade, though. I have been working in OS 10.15.7 for several months.

This happened today after a splash stack (that I use to create new versions of a standalone that we rely on) got corrupted. All of a sudden, with no changes of any kind, that splash would not allow any external stack files to be attached. I trashed it and created a new one, and all is well.

But that is the moment the LIPO dialog started to appear during a standalone build. They does not seem to be harming anything; I do not even have to dismiss them. My Mac itself was not altered in any way. I can ignore the dialog, but am nervous about it.

What does the dialog say exactly? (It's too much trouble to download a file, unzip it, and look at it on a mobile device.) Posting the image here directly would work too.

I'm tellin ya Craig, PostImage, it is a great resource

Not really very informative.

Thanks, that helps. Looking up the lipo command, I get this definition:

Create or operate on a universal file: convert a universal binary to a single architecture file, or vice versa.

It's a Mac-only command and it sounds like it will allow you to build a combined 64-bit and 32-bit app, or build for only one architecture.

It requires the command line tools, so I'd install those if you want the dialog to go away. I'm not sure what the build will be without it but if it runs then you're probably okay.

AND who, pray tell, is trying to build a combined 32-bit & 64-bit standalone on a Mac at the moment,
and with which version of LiveCode?

I thought I was retro, but . . .

If I ever need to run of 32-bit standalones (which I do about once a week when my school is open) for Macs
I use a version capable of that (normally I use LC 8.2 dp 2 on my Mac running MacOS 11).

This does NOT offer me the option of running off a combined 32-bit & 64-bit standalone:
