Is Mac OS 10.5.8 supported by GLFW? I noticed the website claims to, but have not had any success (from source or with Macports) and noticed an earlier topic here had trouble building with 10.6.

Just asking to eliminate the possibility of my woes not being my fault. Most software doesn’t support 10.5 but coding on my old Macbook is convenient.

GLFW 3 does not support 10.5 and earlier. Where on the website does it say that it does?

I could have sworn I saw something about compiling with cocoa 10.5 and up somewhere, but I don’t see it now.

Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for the quick reply.

Has no one found a way to do this yet?
