OpenCobolIDE stopped working after macOS Mojave update

364 Views Asked by At

Before updating to macOS Mojave, OpenCobolIDE was working fine, but ever since I updated, every time I try to open the application, it just closes a second after I pressed the icon. This I probably compatibility issues with the now OS, but is there any methods to fix it without downgrading my OS?

Thanks in advance

I had problems with OpenCobolIDE 4.7.4 on Mac after upgrade to Mojave - the program gets stalled with spinning wheel. Instead of using the download on https://launchpad.net/cobcide/+download, I have installed it with pip3:

In a terminal window I ran the command : sudo pip3 install OpenCobolIDE --upgrade

It installs OpenCobolIDE 4.7.6 and it runs smoothly after installation. The executable can be found in /usr/local/bin
