  • SyncTERM 1.2 on MacOS 14.5 (Apple Silicon/ARM) - SDL display issues

    From Ryan Fantus@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Fri Aug 23 13:20:13 2024

    I downloaded a recent build artifact of SyncTERM for Mac. This is for Darwin x86 but there was no ARM option (perhaps another issue requesting that?).

    It starts fine and all functionality appears to be as expected, however the SDL output is only in the top left corner of the display window. Please see attached photo.

    Please let me know how to troubleshoot! Separately, if there are simplified build instructions, I wouldn't mind building from scratch for Apple Silicon. Thanks.

    I think Deuce prefers you to open issues for SyncTerm in sourceforge. If you get no response here, maybe try there.

    Thanks, I see there's already an open issue there. Bummer.

    I think I opened an issue about the same problem. Are you on a laptop? Do you by chance have an external display you connect to that you can drag the SyncTerm window onto?
