| 1 | BNC for macOS
|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | This is a dynamically linked BNC executable for macOS, bundled with its
|
|---|
| 4 | required Qt frameworks. It has been compiled with clang using Qt5
|
|---|
| 5 | installed with Homebrew on macOS Tahoe on an Apple M2 chip. The
|
|---|
| 6 | installed app itself reports its exact version (Help -> About, or
|
|---|
| 7 | `bnc --version` from the shell).
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | Installation:
|
|---|
| 10 | Double-click the dmg file to open it and simply drag the application’s icon
|
|---|
| 11 | to your Applications folder or to any other folder and you’re done. The software
|
|---|
| 12 | is now installed.
|
|---|
| 13 | Afterwards it’s a good idea to unmount the DMG in Finder: just click the “Eject” arrow.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | Gatekeeper warning on first launch:
|
|---|
| 16 | This build is not signed with a paid Apple Developer ID, so the first time you
|
|---|
| 17 | open it macOS will refuse to launch it and report that it is
|
|---|
| 18 | “from an unidentified developer” (or similar).
|
|---|
| 19 | This is a one-time step per copy - use any one of:
|
|---|
| 20 | - Right-click (or Control-click) BNC.app, choose “Open”, then confirm “Open” in the dialog that appears, or
|
|---|
| 21 | - System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> scroll down -> “Open Anyway” (appears after the first blocked attempt), or
|
|---|
| 22 | - From Terminal: xattr -cr /Applications/bnc.app
|
|---|
| 23 | After that, BNC opens normally like any other application.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | Run from the shell without gui (in the Example_Configs directory):
|
|---|
| 26 | user@mac ~ % /Applications/bnc.app/Contents/MacOS/bnc --help
