Compiling for Mac-OS

[mdijkens]

For a customer I have created a utility in QB64 (console-mode).
It's relatively small and simple (some REST calls via SHELL "wget ..." to update csv-files)
I develop everything on Windows 10 and use the latest QB64pe x64 3.12

Now it's finished and need to compile it for Mac-OS (customer uses macbooks everywhere)
Since I don't have a Mac, I use a VirtualBox with Mac Big Sur (11?) for some time now to compile my QB64 programs for a Mac.
This always worked, until now...
When tested by customer they see binary stuff scrolling by very fast in a terminal window; as if the executable is displayed instead of executed...
Since I know nothing about Mac, I don't know what goes wrong here.
Anyone?

Does your code compiled with version 3.11.0 work correctly on your customer's system? If so this may be a dependency issue. Unfortunately I don't have a Mac any longer to test this theory. The binary stuff in the terminal is probably error messages scrolling by. Is there a way to capture that output?

Not sure about 3.11 (not so easy to test for me; don't want to bother customer too much with trial and error)
It is not errormessages we see in terminal. it much more looks like:

To me it seems the application is not recognized as an application but maybe some other file-type that makes it list its content ?
The fact that this customer already has a hard time using terminal command make me wonder if there's just one step missing that other (experienced) customers did right automatically?
