I had ScidvsMac 4.19 running on my Mac - ScidvsMac-4.19.dmg from https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/mac/ - but after upgrading to macOS Mojave (10.14.1) it doesn't run - the icon just bounces forever.

I have been trying to use macports compilers to compile the latest source but I am just lost in dependency hell right now because I can't seem to install libgcc7 or libgcc8 properly. I might try to blow everything away and start a fresh install ... but wondering if anyone has overcome these problems?

  • I've seen this comment https://sourceforge.net/p/scidvspc/mailman/message/36456929/ stating "The 64 bit macOS version is *very* buggy, and will most likely never get fixed due to it being a TCL issue. If we get our act together, we will eventually release a 64 bit linux version of ScidvsPC that will run on macOS". I do wonder if there's an alternative to Scid for the Mac. – cancerward Nov 20 '18 at 04:36

Your question is pretty old. Did you succeeded to resolve your problem? I am running scidvsmac 4.19 on Mojave without any problem. You may download it here:

Since 12 April 2019, Scid Vs PC 4.20 has been available which seems to have fixed the problem for me at least - now works on macOS Mojave 10.14.5.

    I upgraded to Catalina and now it doesn't even start ... – cancerward Oct 10 '19 at 07:46
  • For running on Catalina, see the latest beta 64-bit version, as described by [the developer's post to the mailing list](https://sourceforge.net/p/scidvspc/mailman/message/36794356/). – Jim Ratliff Jul 11 '20 at 20:40

I'm running ScidvsMac 4.17 with no issues. macOS is Mojave 10.14.2. You may give it a try at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/mac/ScidvsMac-4.17.dmg/download

macOS Mojave still supports 32 bit apps. So it should run Scid vs. Mac.
