NOT OK—LEGACY SOFTWARE

I had a server running on my old PowerMac G4. It had a hard drive problem and I have tried to reinstall with Subsonic 4.0.1, which was previously installed on it. However, the installer has APPARENTLY been updated to ONLY work on 10.5+

I have been using subsonic on this machine for YEARS. DO NOT tell me you only support 10.5+.

DO PROVIDE A SUBSONIC PKG FILE WHICH WILL INSTALL ON OSX 10.4. IT HAS TO BE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.

Why didn't you make backups?

But luckily for you, every single version released since 2.6 is still available. Go grab 4.0 here. http://subsonic.svn.sourceforge.net/vie ... aller-mac/

I was actually trying to clone the drive when it quit. Funny thing is, I'm religious about backups for my work machines... :oops:

So, this looks like the resource fork from the old 4.0 installer? Do I need the rest of the code? What do I compile with?

Thanks.

You'd need the parent directory (http://subsonic.svn.sourceforge.net/vie ... lease-4.0/). Start off by building subsonic-main och subsonic-booter, then build subsonic-installer-mac. From looking at the pom.xml it creates a pkg file for you. You build using Java (I guess you have to get a legacy version of that too) and Maven. Good luck!
