Hi,

I tried to code sign a colleague’s scientific package which has embedded bundles (third parti helper and player).

This made me discover that Xcode, or the terminal command “codesign”, both only sign modern MACH-O binaries (i.e. SDK 10.6 or higher).

Thus the whole signing process failed because of one old Mach-O binary (x86_64 SDK 10.5).

This old MACH-O can be disassembled with a tool like MachOView.app <https://sourceforge.net/projects/machoview/> but is too complicated to be rewritten, at least by me.

Thus I wonder if there is tool for converting old Mach-O to modern Mach-O.

I do not really understand commands “strip" and “ld".

This does not seem to be technically impracticable since I found a PE/ELF/Mach-O converter but for libraries only.

All the best
