RViz crashes on start on OSX 10.14.5

[samlcharreyron]

I've compiled ROS melodic from source on Mac OSX but I can't get RViz running. The program crashes on start (before even printing any info to the console). I've attached a stack trace from the crash report.

Environment

• OS Version: Mac OSX 10.14.5
• ROS Distro: Melodic
• RViz, Qt, OGRE, OpenGl version as printed by rviz:
  rviz: 1.12.16
  Qt: 5.12.3
  OGRE: 1.9
  opengl: 1.0.0

I'm not an OSX user, but looking into your crash report, it looks like Qt already crashes when initializing the QApplication. Are you able to run other self-build Qt applications?
Why aren't you building rviz 1.13.x for Melodic?

[samlcharreyron]

I am able to compile and run the following Qt example application
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/examples/widgets/mainwindows/application?h=5.13

I think I first tried the default melodic build with 1.13 and then downgraded to lunar. Both have the same issue.

No idea then. Sorry.
