I’m on High Sierra and want to compile stable relase.
I was able to compile unstable 5.99, but I always get same error while trying to compile for stable release 5.1.7
I use kicad-mac-builder to compile.
Some help will be much appreciated.

So you should really be using --release-name 5.1.7-high-sierra or whatever that does not match a git tag in the source. I hope this helps. Good luck, you may run in to other issues, but feel free to try it out.
FYI - I use ‘Sierra 10.12.6’ (not 'High Sierra). I recently upgraded Kicad 5.1.5 to 5.1.7 (after known Footprint wizard problems with 5.1.6) using the DMG for 10.14 And Newer. No problems - works like it should…
Thank you very much nickoe for support !
This solved the problem and I was able to compile 5.1.7 unified package for High Sierra and up.
For those who need dmg file here is magnet link:

Thanks for compiling Tiberiu! I’m currently running high Sierra on my 2011 mac for stability reason, so it is much appreciated. However I have been unable to download it as there are no seeds. Could you upload it on another service, or seed for a while?
Thanks in advance.
torrent program is open but dont start download, i leave the mac all the night… is maybe possible to upload the file on google drive or mega upload, thanks for the help i tryed many time to compile it but noting… nikoe help me to compile but dont work or if you can give me the exact command you used to compile.
Well, our maintainer gave up. 10.12 is past EOL so we don’t support it. 10.13 is EOL on November 30th at which we also say we don’t support it in short order. The maintainer was struggling to juggle Apple’s continued blockage of building for older systems while he himself works on newer ones. It wasn’t worth his limited time when he has the newer Apple created disasters to wrangle.
Unforunately, it’s not its safe to trust that build given by a third party, and I’m not saying they did anything wrong at all. But it wouldn’t be appropriate to host a package officially that wasn’t built by us.
