Daisy doesn't build on macOS either

[mmartida]

Hi again

we tried on macOS this time; BigSur 11.2.2 version.
We installed all needed software and libraries and it didnt work either.

Here its the terminal copy-paste content:

command-line.txt
And and this is the maven log:
maven.log

With all this new info could you help us?

You need the makensis tool to build the Windows installer (EXE file). I'm on MacOS too, and I have installed makensis using Homebrew. There are probably other options, but this was the easiest for me. Check https://brew.sh for instructions on how to install Homebrew. Once you have installed Homebrew, you can install makensis with the command brew install makensis.

Ok, we installed "makensis" with brew on our mac and ran the "make dist-exe" again:

• This is the makensis version:
  MAD-XXXXXX:~ esalinsa$ makensis -version

v3.06.1

• These are the comand line logs:

• And this is the maven.log:

Any other thing that we could do to complete the build-up?

Hmm. It still worked with version 3.02.1. Updating to 3.06.1 broke it for me too. You can install the old version as follows:

brew install bertfrees/pipeline/[email protected]

To replace the version you installed previously with this old version, do this:

brew unlink makensis
brew link [email protected]

Hope this works.
