Q: Shake on Mac OS 10.11.6

Hi,

 

on my Mac Pro 5.1 with 10.11.6 (upgraded from 10.7.5 on, no clean install), I can run Shake with the following procedure:

 

I've copied my Shake folder and it's content to an Application folder of my home

 

~/Applications/Shake

 

Using termin I change directory to

 

cd ~/Applications/Shake/shake.app/Content/MacOS

 

Next I start shake with:

 

./shake &

 

Instead of the message that Shake 4.1.1 can't be on this version of Mac OS X, it simply starts.  (Great, oh joy) The terminal window shows some warning about audio units, but I consider these to be irrelevant (I did not know that Shake does any audio).

 

BlackPearl:MacOS tvossen$ ./shake  &

Shake seems to run quite normal on my Mac Pro 5,1 with a 680 GTX and the nvidia Web Driver (346.03.15f03)  I don't know if the web driver does add the function that broke shake on Mac OS 10.10 and later?  But perhaps this information helps anyone who wants to run Shake on a newer OS—even if it's just for accessing your old assets in shake.

 

Cheers,

Thomas.
