[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany 1.29 crashes on OS X 10.10.5 when launched. (#1335)

[Carl Petersen]

The new image gets us passed the library not loading issue, as you explained, but it now fails with

Crashed Thread:        0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL)
Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000

and an extremely long crash report.

I tried going back to my macbook where everything worked and I booted it with 10.10 Yosemite just to see if it was somehow hardware related but geany 1.29 refused to run with the same library fault as before in the iMac.  Rebooting the macbook back to MacOS (10.12) and geany runs and everything is fine again.  I didn’t try your new image in the macbook.

Sorry I can’t be of more help.
