Meteorite for Mac

GOOD NEWS! Meteorite can be successfully compiled on Yosemite! I am happy to report that after spending the last eleven days exchanging email messages with the developer -- Erdem -- and conducting some online research, I have successfully compiled the Meteorite 0.11 source on an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.3. I am not a programmer in any sense of the word, but through perseverance, and with Erdem's help, plus my own research, I was able to figure it out. Basically, you need to download the Meteorite source code from Sourceforge, as well as make sure that you have both Apple's Xcode, as well as the wxWidgets library., installed on your machine. Installing the latter was the trickiest part, due to a Yosemite-specific bug in the wxWidgets 3.0.2 source code. However, there is a very easy solution. I have just emailed a DMG file to Erdem which includes a Yosemite-compatible version of Meteorite 0.11, as well as my two tutorials regarding how to build wxWidgets and Meteorite on a Yosemite machine. Hopefully, Erdem will make the DMG available here on MacUpdate.com, or else on Sourceforge. We shall see. Please do not ask me to email a copy of the DMG to you, because it is a 10 MB file, and I could easily use up a lot of my monthly bandwidth, if there are a lot of requests for the file. Thanks for understanding.

After downloading this program yesterday, and discovering that it just hangs when used with Yosemite, I wrote to Erdem -- the Turkish developer -- in order to determine the status of this app. A few hours ago he wrote back to me with the following: "Hello, Unfortunately I stop development of Meteorite for a while. Current program compiled for OSX 7, little old version of OSX. I try to fix it for OSX10 but need to download some Hackintosh distribution for my PC first. But don't know when I will try. We will wait and see. Regards, Erdem" I just now wrote back to him and encouraged him to make Meteorite open source, to upload the source code to Sourceforge, and to write up some instructions regarding how to compile the source in the latest version of Xcode. Let's see what he decides to do, if anything. You never know. The program hasn't been updated in four years, so maybe he'll be charitable and make it open source.

This does literally NOTHING (except hung on drag and drop). Don't bother downloading.

ist a great idea but it dosent work u.u it closes itself and dont repair, anyway, thanks for develope this app and i hope in a future works

Erdem Bey, please, pretty please won't you develop this further? It's such a great and useful idea, but v. 0.10 needs some more of your magic touch. Tessekuredderim.
