So what exactly were your findings? I'm not sure what you meant by 'that' ?
Anyway, I've got other real life things to be doing at the moment.

As an aside, if someone turns up with blue skin, what should that matter? The colour of anyone's skin has absolutely no relevance whatsoever.

Over on the MacOS 15 with the Sonoma test it took 23 seconds!!!!!!!

With that reset LC 963 built DW Pro 5.3.0 in 30 seconds!

How did you measure that? I assume you didn't use my 'Contaminated' timer script? Or was it with a stopwatch?

That's confusing. On that screenshot above, you are using v1.07 - which does not have the sonoma patching ability.
So you've updated it with my "contaminated" timer script (your words, not mine). Yet, you are happy with the result...

Right, glad we got that straightened out...

Glad the sonoma build in the v1.08 beta is now showing the correct build times if that's the case, which I suppose is comparable to the results I got in MacOS Monterey. So am I to take it from this that there's no longer any issue? OR, do you still get 10+ minute build times if you 'automatically detect inclusions'?

Anyway, just for reference, here's your Devawriter Pro stack being built in LCC 9.6.3 on a mac, with my "Contaminated" timer stack.

And here's me building your standalone on LCC 9.6.3, without my "contaminated" timer, using this timer instead.

The issue is NOT with my timer, but it is (as I've already said) with the "auto-detection of required inclusions" and the "Sonoma" build checkbox being used together.

The easiest way around that is just to disable the "auto detection of required inclusions" if the Sonoma checkbox is ticked, and enforce the "Select inclusions for the standalone application" instead, which I'm now tempted to do.

The 'problem', which we found out was a phantom, was that thing about inclusion.

As a pair of 'ghostbusters' we should be proud.

specified by LC as being compatible with anything past MacOS 11 Big Sur. (and even that's shaky: systemversion *cough*)

To be fair to LC Team, the system version problem was Apple's bug to fix, not LC's, it was an issue for other programming environments too.

We're always going to be up against an operating system's design team's decisions until we, like Richard Stallman, go back to bare metal and make our own system (and the GNU-HURD thing is STILL incomplete).

As a history teacher at my school said, "If you don't piss in your own pot, don't be surprised if you get yellow legs."
