Hello, I tried to run the OpenSCAD development snapshot 2016.11.21 on my iMac
but it won't even start. In the console I find the following relevant
entries:

/08/12/16 18:14:31,000 kernel[0]: hfs: mounted OpenSCAD on device disk1s1
08/12/16 18:14:31,481 mds[57]: (Volume.Normal:2464) volume:0x7fce04856a00

with abnormal code: 1/

I couldn't find a log file (normally at /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports)

My PC specs are:

OSX version 10.10.5
iMac 21.5 inch, Mid 2011
2.7GHz Intel Core i5
4Gb DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512MB

How are you running OpenSCAD?
This error message should only happen if you attempt to pass the -p or -P cmd-line argument without having customizer enabled.

You can enable customizer under Preferences->Features

I downloaded the disk image file and mounted it by double clicking the dmg
file. I both tried running OpenSCAD from the mounted disk or dragging the
program to the Applications folder first. So no (intentional) attempt to
pass the -p or -P cmd line argument.

The program won't even start, so I can't enable the customizer.

Eric.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like Finder is somehow adding some extra cmd-line parameters on launch.

Could you try running it from the cmd-line to check that it works outside a launch from Finder?
In a terminal:
/Applications/OpenSCAD.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenSCAD

Yes, running it from the command line works fine. Thanks Marius.
