Operating Systems
Server: Ubuntu 19.04
Client: OSX 10.8.5
First of all, I would love to express my appreciation for all of the hard work put into this project. I have been a fan of Synergy for about 12 years and am thrilled that this fork exists. Just wondering if it would be possible to make a binary of Barrier for Mac OSX that works with version 10.8.5? At the moment the earliest compatible version is 10.9. I would love to convert my setup from several older mismatched versions of Synergy to Barrier.
Thanks again.
@Docteh commented on GitHub (Jul 16, 2019):
What is notable about that version of macOS? You might be able to compile a version for yourself.
@kxkxkxnz commented on GitHub (Jul 17, 2019):
Thanks a lot for your reply. The main thing that is notable about 10.8.5 is that I have some expensive legacy hardware that will not work on newer operating systems. I have tried to compile the source code, but it relies on XCode, and Apple will not let me download Xcode without two-factor identification, which requires Apple devices with newer operating systems. I have spoken with Apple customer support about this, and the only answer I could get in the end was 'buy more Apple hardware with newer operating systems', which firstly would cost a bunch of money, and again, would not be able to use my legacy hardware.

Unfortunately Barrier probably does not work on macOS 10.8. It probably could work, but some developer needs to set everything up and test.

@AdrianKoshka: Could you give me permission to add labels to issues?
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jul 18, 2019):
I don't have that power unfortunately :T

@p12tic What labels did you need added? I now have the Triage role...

I have an older AirBook using 10.11.6. Any chance that can be supported in the future?
I have not tried to build from source yet.
@Icexist commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2020):
@chickenbit you can run it (at least v 2.3.2) from command line. On my macOS 10.11.6 machine as the client, I run:
This avoids launching the GUI which used Qt. To kill it, you'll have to use Activity Monitor.
@jgrisham commented on GitHub (Aug 24, 2021):
@chickenbit (and others): At the end of my comments at issue #544, I have uploaded a frankenstein version that may work on Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion:
barriersandbarriercmacOS binariesIt's worth a try under 10.8 Mountain Lion. (at one time, Synergy worked on PPC computers running Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar!)
As others have mentioned, Barrier should work fine on almost anything from the command line.... it just needs a GUI shell for those older OS versions.
From that era and earlier:

It looks like support for Qt4 has been broken by this commit:
bf361d153b (diff-15db8011a6fbfd36a54768e2b43f09502edc46d7a9d200006c2e5054443c85f2)(Possibly due to carelessness or possibly earlier.)
While main CMakeLists has explicit reference to
ppcat least in 1.8.8, I have no idea if it was tested, and CMakeLists for GUI require Qt5 from the get-go, which would be impossible on PowerPC, unless someone fixed Qt5 privately but never made available.c30301e234/CMakeLists.txt (L171-L174)
