Someone™ posted an issue last july that this exquisite piece of software retro art did not compile on OS X. After a while someone™ actually managed to compile it on OSX, and the original author is working on a port, but until then we have to make do with the Cathode app.

Only problem with the Cathode app is that it flickers more and more till you get an epileptic fit if you don't upgrade to the paid version.




Pay the Cathode guys. They really deserve your money.


There is a osx branch (https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term/tree/osx) that compiles.


Well, on the Mac, you pay for stuff, that's just the way it is. If you care about gratis & libre software, start dogfooding a free OS.


That's complete recycled bovine waste my friend.

Just because I choose to use OS X does not mean I'm ignoring the bsd base its built on, nor not enjoying using / contributing to open projects.
