[Dev] Feathercoin 0.9.6.2 * Maintenance fix, build & upgrade issues notes.

bluebox

@AcidD Sorry, that wasn’t a very “community effort” post I made… “Ask not what Feathercoin (dev’s) can do for you, ask what you can do for Feathercoin” :)

I’ll try my hand at compiling the official 0.9.6.1 release on 10.11 (physical Mac, not VM’s!) given your instructions here. 'Bout time I did some Mac compiling, been living in the linux world too long. I do have a 10.12 system to test forward compatibility.

DIY, baby!

Follow this one
https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8769/guide-build-feathercoind-feathercoin-qt-v0-9-3-1-on-macos-sierra

it’s a proper guide I wrote for the 0.9.X series…it is still valid for 0.9.6.1

See post 1.

@bluebox said in [Dev] Feathercoin 0.9.6.2 * Maintenance fix & Issues notes for 0.11.2:

@AcidD Hate to pile on another request, but can you target at least El Capitan compatibility for the next official build? The 0.9.6.1 build cannot run on 10.11, so I’m stuck with looking at a yellow upgrade banner for a while. Did you compile on 10.12 for a reason, deps, etc.?

Hi, Please try the download at Feathercoin.com now.

@AcidD Works perfectly, thanks!
