Hi all,
I tried to install Pallet on my new macBook Pro with macOSX 10.9.1, MacPorts 2.2.1. The errors in the log file (attached) are of the following kind:
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_sysutils_Pallet/Pallet/work/Pallet/build/Pallet.build/Release/Pallet.build /Objects-normal/x86_64/StateTransformer.d''. Error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “StateTransformer.d” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file."
Thanks for any help! Paola

Paola -- Comment: Sorry, the Pallet code has not been maintained in some time. It evidently still uses garbage collection, a memory management technique Apple no longer supports. Pallet code needs to be updated to use automatic reference counting (ARC) instead. But this would also make it require a newer version of OS X than it currently requires. ARC is supported on OS X 10.7 Lion or later (some ARC features work on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard if Xcode 4.2 is used); the current version of Pallet supports back to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43581#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
