  • SyncTERM for OSX PPC?

    From ryan@VERT/MONTEREY to All on Wed Apr 15 00:25:00 2020
    Hey folks, I've recently been messing with my old powerpc g4 mac which has
    OSX 10.5.8 (I think) installed. I recall there were old SyncTERM binaries
    that worked once upon a time but can no longer find them. I've tried building myself with no luck...can't remember the error right now regardless, but iteration is painfully slow and I am not sure I'll be motivated enough to continue working on it.

    Anyone have any old builds of SyncTERM laying around?

    Thanks!

    Not sure how old you need it to be, but this link from the
    SyncTerm page says it's about 5 years old:

    Thanks, yeah, I tried that one and unfortunately didn't have any luck. That's compiled for intel macos :(

    Here's a build from May-30-2019:
    ftp://ftp.synchro.net/syncterm-macos.tgz

    It's just the executable (syncterm), no installation package.

    Thanks! I'll give that a shot later tonight.

    I may have one somewhere, but I need to look through my collection of backups. Alternatively, I may try and find the motivation to get something to compile on 10.4 on the relatively powerful Power Mac G5 that I still use for audio work.

    I need to go download that and try it on 10.4.
