[GNC] GC crashing after upgrade

[John Ralls]

Ernie,

Sorry, no, we don’t have nightly macOS builds. You can build it yourself, there are (possibly out of date) instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOS/Quartz (the way I do it) and https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOS/MacPortsDetail (the way Mike Alexander does it). The MacPorts method is more approachable for non-developers. Homebrew isn’t an option, they just package up my release dmgs.

I don’t think flatpaks will work on macOS but I’ll admit that I’ve never actually tried. One would have to start by porting the flatpak infrastructure to macOS.

Regards,
John Ralls
