[CWB] CWB on OS Catalina

[Susanne Flach]

Hi Stefan,

Oh, okay, meanwhile my hunch was that pre-existing CLI apps are causing the problem. as all my CLI tools that initiate the gate-keeper were installed pre-10.15.x; Treetagger had an update for 10.15.x, which runs fine for me on 10.15.4. I really only use pre-compiled CLI tools; I homebrew occasionally, though not since January when I switched to Catalina, so unable to (dis)confirm.

If I find time later today or this weekend, I’ll upgrade to 10.15.5 and re-install cqp/cwb and report back. Thanks for offering to look into this!

Best,
Susanne

This must have come in with a minor version of Catalina (possibly from 10.15.3 to 10.15.4), where “allow anywhere” is not available any more. I’ve been experiencing this for a few weeks now. Ironically, with Catalina, system restarts are necessary so much more often than before. I agree with Stefan, Apple is going downhill fast.

I compile a lot of stuff myself, and get most other command-line components via HomeBrew – their bottled distributions seem to be set up properly to work with gatekeeper.

One possible issue is that I had already installed tree-tagger before the upgrade to Catalina – perhaps there are special exemptions for existing apps?
