Summary0001648: VCMI silently fails to start on OS X 10.6
DescriptionVCMI silently fails to start on OS X 10.6 when installed from the official binary. If the vcmiclient binary inside the app bundle is executed directly, it simply outputs:

Illegal Instruction

This is a sign that the client was compiled with the SDK from a higher version of OS X, but that the minimum required OS version is not set to give a useful error message.
Steps To ReproduceOn OS X 10.6, install the VCMI binary from:

http://download.vcmi.eu/vcmi-0.94.dmg [^]

Attempt to run the client.
Additional InformationIf VCMI is not using features only available in newer OS X SDKs, it can be compiled for an older version by adding this flag to gcc:

-mmacosx-version-min=10.6 (or some lower version)

Whether VCMI can be built targeting a lower version or not, the following property should be added to the Info.plist for the app bundle (as well as the app bundle for the vcmibuilder) to provide a userful error for users on lower versions of OS X:

LSMinimumSystemVersion

It should be set to the minimum version the client can run on, such as '10.8.0'.
