Errors when packaging Synfig under macOS Monterey

Development Packaging

Hi,

I was able to build Synfig under a clean copy of macOS Monterey, it works great =)
Now I would like to build the app and here is where it fails:

Any idea?

Thanks

Synfig (core / cli) is built and the produced executable is then used to produce the icons (from .sif/.sifz files) that will be used in SynfigStudio (GUI).
Sometimes the .sif/.sifz files have been produced with older versions of Synfig and some parameters and/or layers have been removed from newer versions (yeah, that sucks…)
Here “about_icon.sif” is bugged because of “logo.sif” for Layer ‘super_sample’ (rejected values for parameters ‘scanline’ AND ‘alpha_aware’).
“about_icon” requires “logo” to be built but it crashes and segfault.

You can find a similar bug and the workaround here: Segmentation fault when building icons ¡ Issue #2787 ¡ synfig/synfig ¡ GitHub
(PR here ci: disabled `mod_magickpp` in macOS builds by ice0 ¡ Pull Request #2790 ¡ synfig/synfig ¡ GitHub)
It appears with CMake (like in your case) but not with autotools.

Sometimes modifications in the code have more side effects than expected… :confused:

Yeah!
I reverted the changes of PR https://github.com/synfig/synfig/pull/2790 and it worked, I finally could get the .app and .dmg

I guess you are right about the side effect…

Thank you for your help!
