Hi Rory,
I recently moved to mac osx 15 on a new computer and after reinstalling cabbage 2.9 with the regular installer, I couldn’t make it run.
What I have done: after downloading, I installed Cabbage only. Csound is already installed at /opt/homebrew/bin/csound
I tried to sign Cabbge with your code:
sudo codesign -s - Cabbage.app --timestamp --deep --force
Still didn’t work. I reinstalled Cabbage 2.6 that was in my old computer and it worked without any issues. This is OK for me now, but would like to report this to you.
Hi @luis. Did you try one of the latest beta builds? Cabbage 2.6 was build in the times of old, when macOS wasn’t such a pain in the ass. The new beta builds are built with macOS 15 - so hopefully they should work better for you. What actually happens when you try to run it? Is a malware warning you get, or simple a silent exit?
Hi @rorywalsh, I just installed the latest beta version. The same occurred as before with the 2.9 version: it doesn’t start and pops the message “Cabbage cannot be opened because of a problem.”
PS: The sudo codesign -s - Cabbage.app --timestamp --deep --force did not made a difference.
Hi @luis. This is a curious one. I just downloaded and installed the latest build. I had to give the installer permission in the Security and Privileges settings, but after that it installed and ran fine. Where is your Csound framework installed? I’ve a feeling it failing because it can’t find Csound rather than it being a codesigning issue. The Csound framework should be located in the system frameworks folder. Also, if you wish to us Csound 7 you will need to start using Cabbage 3, which is still under development but available to the brave for testing!
Hi Rory,
the framework is here:
/Library/Frameworks/CsoundLib64.framework
It shoudn’t also be something with the permissions:
ls -l /Library/Frameworks/CsoundLib64.framework
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 28 May 23 2022 CsoundLib64 → Versions/Current/CsoundLib64
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 24 May 23 2022 Headers → Versions/Current/Headers
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 26 May 23 2022 Resources → Versions/Current/Resources
drwxrwxr-x 4 root wheel 128 May 23 2022 Versions
drwxrwxr-x 12 root wheel 384 Feb 2 2022 libs
Or maybe I’ll try to install csound again, since I ported everything from my old computer.
I’ll use csound7 very soon, but for now just want this project to be finished as soon as possible 
That’s it, Rory. You were right about the csound issue. I reinstalled csound 6.18 and it worked! Could that be because I had csound being installed by homebrew?
You’ll hear from me soon about csound7. Meantime, I’ll just finish the plug-in for the musicians 
Glad you got it sorted. Your musicians will need to install Csound too if they are going to run your plugins.
