[scribus] scribus for Mac 10.5 / 10.6

[Thom]

Hello Scribus Team
I dont see how to write just to the ones who prepare the Scribus versions for different systems. The only way I found to give Input is this list, so I send it here.

This ist just to let you guys know:It is not possible to install the early Mac OSX version (before 10.8). I am on Mac OS X 10.6.8. It says for this system (from 10.5) I have to install Homebrew Cask from Terminal. Which I did. Then in terminal it says next step: Install Xcode: https://developer.apple.com/xcode

Well, thats the problem there, because when I try to do that, the link takes me to the AppStore, and trying to download it says I can't bacause X Code is for 10.10.5 or newer.

So I am stuck.

I remember some time ago on your website there were simple .dmg packages even for back to 10.5. I downloaded it, opened it, put it in the program folder and it was done. Why all the trouble now?

Regards
Thom

Hi Martin

Thanks. I found an Xcode version on the OS X install CD. Not sure if it was even needed. Xcode was not mentioned on the install guidehttp://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus_and_Homebrew_Cask

However, it did not work.

I went on after Xcode install (4 GB installation just to install Scribus, a heck of a disproportionate effort, as is the whole procedure)

I installed Cask. Then in terminal it asked to install Ruby, which I did: "brew install ruby", then "brew cask install scribus", it went again asking to install Ruby, which I did again and again, "brew cask install scribus" never works. So I am stuck again.

if i understood correctly your issue, you should be able to download a
scribus 1.4.5 that does work on os x 10.5 :

if you get the .pgk file, you won't need any brew, xcode & co. ...
