If only life were that simple. Our 64 bit binaries run on seven different<br>
versions of OS X:<br>
<br>
Snow Leopard<br>
Lion<br>
Mountain Lion<br>
Mavericks<br>
Yosemite<br>
El Capitan<br>
The system Apple will unveil on Monday<br>
<br>
Every one of these could have several different versions of<br>
XQuartz. The current binaries work UNLESS XQuartz 2.7.9<br>
is installed. It can be installed on each of the seven systems.<br>
<br>
I happen to have two computers which can run Snow Leopard<br>
and two computers which can run El Capitan. So I installed XQuartz 2.7.9<br>
on one Snow Leopard computer and one El Capitan computer,<br>
and I recompiled xdvi on both. The Snow Leopard version<br>
doesn’t fix the problem on the El Capitan machine.<br>
The El Capitan version doesn’t even run on Snow Leopard.<br>
<br>
Thus potentially we might need seven different copies of xdvi-xaw<br>
for the seven systems when they are upgraded to XQuartz 2.7.9.<br>
<br>
I have computers running all seven systems, but I don’t want to install<br>
XQuartz 2.7.9 on the five remaining systems, for fear of making compiling<br>
and testing much harder in the future. Thus we’d need five<br>
people willing to sacrifice five systems for testing, and potentially<br>
compile five copies of the TeX Live binaries.<br>
<br>
Better to wait and see if my bug report to XQuartz yields any fruit.<br>
