Build for Mac OS X - offer to help and request for help

Ok,
for compatibility with version 13.12 where plugins are stored in
CodeBlocks.app/Contents/Resources/share/codeblocks/plugins

I suggest:

svn diff
Index: sdk/configmanager.cpp

You can submit patches, and the C::B devs have rights to apply your patches to our SVN. 

Ok, check my patches for tickets: #275 #425

Hi

I've downloaded your builds, but they both failed to be launched :

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/CodeBlocks.app

Tested on a MacBook Pro with OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Are You using Safari? Try with Firefox, because You must first save .zip file,
and then extract CodeBlocks.app directory.

You can try my build rev10921: goo.gl/o7zjR8

Chrome.
And this is exactly what I've done with the 2 builds :

• Downloaded the zip file
• Extracted the CodeBlocks.app dir it contains
• Moved this CodeBlocks.app dir to the Applications dir
• Right click => Open (because it does not come from the Mac app store)

You can try my build rev10921: goo.gl/o7zjR8

This one seems to work. I'll make further test, to be sure, but I can open it.
Many thanks for your work.

What about making a dmg file instead of a zip archive?
It would be more "OS X Friendly" 

Again : thank you very much.
