Hello
is there still a precompiled Mac version of a standalone gmic-qt, preferably for MacOs 15 (Sequoia)?
Thanks,
Helmut
The only one/s I knew when I was on mac up to mid 2016 was the GIMP sent with multiple plugins in it was from lisanet.de, but Simone (the author of this GIMP) did stop everything about gimp on osx, 2 or 3 years after I switched to Linux.
there was another person known as Partha (partha.com), who took on him to sent GIMP with GāMIc for macos, but same here, he did move on to something else.
You might want to take a look at GāMIC on homebrew or GāMIC on macports, although you will need to install homebrew itself or macports before installing GāMIC from those ports, RTM beforeā¦
About the 2 links on https://gmic.eu for mac, they are way outdated, the first one is 6-7 yo, the second one to partha .com is useless as the owner is re-doing his website (itās near a year thatās the same āemptyā page)
Thanks @PixLab. I have found some older scripts to get things running on a Mac and successfully compiled it under MacOS Sequoia (some warnings but that they can be ignored). If anyone needs a place to start, have a look at my website: g'mic.

Thatās nice! 
Thank you for your guidance regarding the scripts on the website! I successfully compiled gmic-qt on my Mac. However, it seems that the compiled application cannot be directly distributed to other Macs.
Could you please let me know if thereās still a precompiled version of standalone gmic-qt available for download, ideally for macOS 15 (Sequoia)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I finally find out how to create a macOS bundle and make sure that the application finds the resources it needs at run-time. I make a precompiled version of a standalone gmic-qt and upload here. Hope it will help someone want to use gmic-qt on mac out-of-the-box.

Thanks! I also have a qucik question. Previously, I asked you about how to import multiple images in GMIC QT, and you suggested using the command line with the -l option followed by any number of images. However, I noticed that when packaging as a precompiled application on macOS, this method doesnāt work.
I saw that there is an āimport dataā feature under the āvariousā category that allows for GUI-based image import.
So is it possible to implement an option in the GUI for importing multiple images?
@David_Tschumperle ļ¼I conducted some additional testing and discovered that the issue was related to not including all the dynamic libraries during the packaging process. This resulted in command-line calls to gmic qt failing to parse some parameters correctly. After fixing this, everything is working as expected now.
