<p>as you can see, the problem has been fixed in MacGPG 2.0.18.
Latest MacGPG2 release is 2.0.22.</p>
<p>We can not offer support for PPC since we no longer develop on
that platform.</p>
<p>So if you want to use the latest patches and versions of our
tools your only chance is to get a new machine.</p>
<p>Sorry I don't have better news.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>In principle, am I able to download the 2.0.22 source code and
compile with Xcode 3.1.4 under Mac OS 10.5 (PPC)?</p>
<p>I have Xcode 3.1.4 installed, but past experience indicates I'll
need some help with compile-time problems requiring "inside
knowledge". Would such help - from those who previously compiled
for Mac OS 10.5 PPC be available?</p></div>jwqtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/330123862014-05-25T12:44:18Z2014-05-25T12:44:18ZCompiling MacGPG2 2.0.22 on OS X 10.5 PPC (was: pinentry-mac "Returning nil _server" console error and high CPU demand)<div><p>More bad news: we do not support PPC compilation.</p>
<p>So you'd really have to dig into specifics and adjust a ton of
stuff if you want to get this done.</p>
<p>You could have a look at the git repo and look for older
versions: <a href=
"https://github.com/GPGTools/MacGPG2">https://github.com/GPGTools/MacGPG2</a></p>
<p>So either add PPC compilation to the newer release or backport
the bugfix. Both are a huge amount of work. Buying a newer machine
will be a lot easier (although more expensive).</p>
<p>Hope you can find a way to get this done.</p></div>Steve
