Re: Using X11 for an older program

Hi, download and install xquartz from https://www.xquartz.org . This is the semi-official X11.app replacement. Did not get an update for four years now but it brings the needed libraries and installs in /opt/x11. Good luck! :) Dominik > On 22. Dec 2020, at 08:50,

Using X11 for an older program
