We need to build the project directly on the makos (install FPC and Lazarus). So we find out who is to blame. This is a compilation program for all platforms or a problem in another.
In general, it is surprising that the development of the operating system leads to such failures. I did not see anything similar for such simple programs in Windows.

@chocochrispi @srscott what’s your transgui version?
I got no problem with v5.10 here. In #1006, looks like @rrolandd got no problem.
I can not compile a new macOS release right now, there are some behaviors changed in High Sierra and we need to update the scripts.

You see how difficult it is to understand each other if you write 2 words.

I did misunderstand your question.
For what I know it’s the «latest» version. I can’t see the version right now. The menu option is not available (it’s grey). I get endless of this error dialog boxes.

@patrik-b I can confirm, I have seen the same errors. You have to upgrade to the latest version of TR. Version 5.10+ works on High Sierra.

We will not close the Issue until all fans of High Sierra will not switch to this clone TRGUI (v.5.10)

Darn, is doing «brew cask install transmission-remote-gui» that hard ? 🙂

Not so hard if this command is put in the README.

I can put it in the readme later, just need to confirm some of the details.
The problem is: many people downloaded the old, deprecated version but report it’s not working here the new version 😞

AKAIK, none of our core members has a Mac computer right now, pull requests would be welcome.

This will require a change from Carbon (32bit only) to Cocoa. Or something like QT.

FPC 3.0.4 now defaults to 64-bit target, so I guess if we build the macOS target with it, we can get rid of that warning.
The question is, how to build a macOS target?

PeterDaveHello commented Apr 21, 2018
@xiao99xiao we have some scripts under setup directory that you can try 😉 You also need to know a little bit about FPC and Lazarus

Diskutant commented Apr 22, 2018
@xiao99xiao No, Transgui uses the Carbon Widgets. Those are 32bit only. The Transgui Code needs to be updated to either use Cocoa (which is still a work in progress, see: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Roadmap#Status_of_features_on_each_widgetset ) or use QT widgets, which in turn uses Cocoa.

How difficult is it to switch to Qt? Presumably the Linux version is already using Qt? The rumor is Apple is going to remove the 32 bit libraries from the next version of macOS so unless the transition is made the app will cease to function.

Why was this closed?

The question can be considered dead. There are dozens of such topics. No one will look at them in the coming days and years. Especially here there are certainly no experts on strange macOS. There is nowhere to check it.
It’s better to close the topic and create a new one with the new data

Transmission Remote GUI
Transmission Remote GUI is feature rich cross platform front-end to remotely control Transmission daemon via its RPC protocol. It is faster and has more functionality than builtin Transmission web interface.
Transmission Remote GUI is developed using Lazarus RAD and Free Pascal compiler.
- Native application for Windows, Linux and macOS
- uTorrent-like interface
- Select files to download
- Choose files priority
- View details about connected peers
- Full information about each torrent
- Per torrent options
The installers are listed on the GitHub Releases page, and the installation instructions for different platform are listed as below ⬇️
Easy way (recommended)
There are precompiled program’s binaries for i386 and x86_64 Linux architectures.
- Download and extract the release for your architecture.
Now you can execute the transgui binary. (Change the transgui file permissions to executable if needed)
Additionally, you can create a desktop or menu shortcut to the transgui executable, and run the program using the created shortcut.
Build the program by yourself.
- Make sure you have working Lazarus and Free Pascal compiler installed.
- Free Pascal Compiler 2.6.2+ and Lazarus 1.6 is used to develop Transmission Remote GUI.
- Download the sources archive and extract it to some folder or perform svn checkout.
- Open terminal/command line prompt and cd to the sources folder.
- Execute make command to build the application.
- Execute make zipdist command to create a release .zip archive in the Release sub-folder.
Portable zip tarball (recommended)
- Zip tarball release is much more small than the installer one, which can save you some bandwidth, disk space and time, just simply download and extract the zip tarball to wherever you want, directly execute transgui.exe or add shortcut for it.
Note: The first time you use this program, you may need to install some additional dependencies (if you need SSL/TLS enabled), including Visual C++ Redistributable Package(Direct link) and OpenSSL libs(Direct link), this only needs to be done once.
This installer has additional installation wizard and includes static OpenSSL libraries in every releases, the size would be much bigger than the zip tarball, but you don’t need to take care of the OpenSSL dependencies.
- Directly download the installer.
- Run the installer and follow the steps to install it on your system.
Run cinst transgui to install the latest version of Transmission Remote GUI.
Without a package manager
This method needs no additional pre-requirement or dependency, just:
- Download the app image from release page.
- Open the image file to mount the image.
- Directly run the application or drag the app icon to your disk / Application folder.
You need to have Homebrew installed, and Homebrew-Cask enabled, with Homebrew, you can enable Homebrew-Cask by a single command, skip this step if you already got it:
With Homebrew-Cask, directly execute this command to install Transmission Remote Gui:
- brew cask install transmission-remote-gui
Command line parameters
You can specify path to a .torrent file or a magnet link as a command line parameter. The program will add the specified torrent.
- -hidden : Start the program hidden. Only the program’s tray icon will be visible.
- —home= : Specifies a home directory for the program. All program’s settings are stored in the home directory. You can run multiple instances of the program by specifying different home directories.
If the program finds the transgui.ini file in the same folder as the binary file, then it will store all configuration and data files in the program’s folder, instead of the folder in a user profile.
