OSX 10.5.8 Mudlet 2.1 Error / Crash

[Belgarath]

[23:15] <Belgarath_> Hello
[23:16] <Belgarath_> I'm trying to run Mudlet 2.1 on Mac OSX 10.5.8 and I'm getting errors.
[23:18] <Belgarath_> I've googled for a solution but I cannot see any solutions. Here is a link to the error... http://pastebin.com/DuYH0jqk

[23:19] <Belgarath_> If anyone could help me with this, I'd be wonderful

Is there any (easy) way to make Mudlet available on my current OSX version?

Upgrade to 10.6?

"Available on my current OSX version?"

If I figure out how to fix it I'll post it here Thanks anyway...

Fixing it requires compiling Mudlet from scratch just on that old operating system.

Also the current documentation for Qt 5 suggests that Lion (10.7) is the earliest version that can be expected to work out of the box, Snow Leopard (10.6) might work but they are not making any promises... I think for current development we'd recommend 5.2 as an earliest version to go for but I haven't been able to find the earliest version of OSX that would work for.

Windows XP users have the same sort of problem - I think we could get the current code to run on it but the current downloadable 3.0.0 beta executable was compiled and included a library (the yajl one) that was built on a later system that wants library functions (specifically sprint_s() IIRC) that are not available in the MSVC runtime libraries on machines before Windows Vista...
