I don't think that running a 64-bit VM on 32-bit hardware would perform very
well, but Apple relaxed their restrictions on VM hosting somewhere around 10.10
so there's nothing stopping you from trying.

John,
Thank you for doing that in the past, and all your other work. My
recollection (sketchy, at best) is that you can still get the C++11
compiler for later IBM PPC (OpenPower and ISA), but that has moved on
quite a bit from the old G4 and G5. And knowing Apple, my guess is
that they quit upda
I won't be bundling Gnucash for PPC after 2.6.20, for lack of a suitable--i.e.
C++11 capable--compiler. Linux runs well on PPC machines and GnuCash passes
Debian's tests on their PPC buildbot, so that's the way to go if you're still
running an old PPC mac.

I have not yet tried this yet with GnuCash on the G4 and G5 PPC Macs
we still have, but it is possible to install FreeBSD 64 bit on the G5
Macs, which does have some virtualisation (weird, but impressive).
That would be a "corner case" scenario for what I'm guessing are a
very few GnuCash users. A
Yes, with a performance hit, it is possible, at least with Virtualbox to
install a 64-bit OS on a 32-bit host. Mileage varies based on the host and
guest. I’ve pulled it off a few times. I don’t know however if you can run apps
that require 64-bit in such a guest without issue.
As for the other

Thanks for the heads-up. (I still have a Snow Leopard Macbook, but don’t use it
for GnuCash any longer)
Any reason to think a 32-bit vm to run 2.6.x if needed on 10.14 or a 64-bit vm
to run 2.7/3.0 on older Macs wouldn’t handle those hopefully few cases? (other

On the off chance that anyone else is running a Mac with Developer Beta MacOS
installed, the latest developer beta will put up the attached dialog when you
launch Gnucash 2.6.x. What it means is that MacOS 10.14 (they’ll announce the
name at WWDC in June) won’t support 32-bit applications.
