autotrace-0.40.0-20180915-MacOS.zip requires MacOS 10.13 or above

[psergiu]

Please, if possible, compile the MacOS version of AutoTrace to support older MacOS versions.

There are a lot of people still needing to run older MacOS version due to software / hardware incompatibility issues of the newer MacOS

Thank you very much.

Ah, thanks for the report!
The requirement of OS X 10.13 is not intentional. I'll check where it comes from.

[jnweiger]

the plist.info file has

  <key>LSMinimumSystemVersion</key>
  <string>10.9.0</string>

This should already make the build compatible with older systems but apparently it does not. Sigh.

Do you get the error during installation, or when you try to call autotrace?

@psergiu please check, if this rebuild fixes the issue: https://github.com/autotrace/autotrace/releases/tag/travis-20180930.37

Hi Jürgen,
I have tried to install autotrace on both Sierra (10.12) and High Sierra (10.13). Both installations did not succeed. On 10.12 I got the same message as psergiu during installation.

On 10.13 I unzipped the package and double clicked to install. Gave permission to run the app.
When I tried the extension in Inkscape, both systems said:

/bin/sh: autotrace: command not found
NOTE: This build of autotrace is incompatible with your system, try a different build.
You need to install autotrace for this extension to work. Try
https://github.com/jnweiger/autotrace/releases or search for autotrace version 0.40.0 or later.

BTW I think it is a very useful extension. Thank you!
