You reported using 1.12.0. Were you using that release? Did you try the latest nightly build?

[Adeel Asghar]

Yeah try the latest nightly. I know that Martin has fixed "sh: impact: command not found" error.

The other error is related to Qt see here ​https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-37699
Not sure which version of Qt we use on MAC. Seems like this error is not a kind of blocker.

[totti98@…]

Yes i have installed the version 1.12.0 which i assume to be the latest nightly

Nope. If you look ​here you'll see several options:

• latest-release-1.12.0 is the latest version which was released after beta testing in October 2017
• latest-stable-1.13.0-dev.01 is the latest stable development version (early July 2018)
• latest-nightly is the very last nightly build, which is updated every night, barring problems with the ​Hudson build job

I would sugggest you to try the stable 1.13.0-dev.01 version. If it doesn't work, try the latest nightly build.

[totti98@…]

Thank you for the suggestions!
I am currently downloading the 1.13.0-dev.01 version and will write back with results.
Again, thank you for the suggestions

I have installed "latest-nightly-1.13.0~dev-1419-g64b4c39.mpkg" from your link, and now i can't open OMEdit anymore. I get a message that says i should contact the developer and check if the version works with my version of macOS

I will go back to the latest nigthly build and try that

So i tried every option and most of them, when installed, wouldn't open OMEdit at all, so i went back and installed "openmodelica-release-1.12.0.mpkg" from ​https://build.openmodelica.org/omc/builds/mac/binaries/release/
Now i can open the program again, but sadly the messages are still here.

Thanks for your input. I have already seen the bugreport and found out that i have my mac uses Qt4 and that i should update to Qt5. However i do not know how to do this.

If you are using one of the .mpkg then it doesn't matter which Qt is on your system. We need to update the Qt on our build server then. I thought you are installing using macports.

I am installing modelica using macports.
I am sorry if i am a bit confusing, but i am new to all of these programmes and mix up stuff.

[totti98]

I still get the error messages, so if anyone has any tips i will gladly try them

[Adeel Asghar]

This is a ​Qt bug which is fixed in latest versions but we still use Qt4 on OSX.

As a workaround in 9fe7631/OMEdit we suppress this error.
