Hi Mark,
The Canon SDK is supposedly compatible with versions 10.2 and later. I think this is a problem with Code Warrior, which is probably restricted to 10.3 and later. Not much I can do about that, unfortunately...

P.S. I can understand being one OS release behind, but two?

Hmmm... are there any specific system requirements (10.4, etc.) for CanonHDRcap.app?
After a few too many headaches from Stuffit Deluxe mangling the .tar extraction on download (thankfully I can putter about in the terminal), I now am pretty sure everything is extracted and arranged correctly on my test system. But each time I try to launch CanonHDRcap.app from either its app package or from the canoncap shell script, I get a "Launch failed with error code -2804" in the console and a lovely error dialog saying "Application Launch Failure. The application "(null)" could not be launched because of a shared library error: ")<CanonHDRcap> <CanonHDRcap> <RCSDKCarbon> <>"
(see attached/ scraped image)
This is on both of my OS X systems:
G5 rev. 1 2x2Ghz, OS 10.3.9
iBook G3/700, OS 10.2.8
(I know, I know... I'll get around to that installation of Tiger soon enough!)

Hi Mark,
Before you go upgrading your system, you should double-check that others are having the same problem. (Any 10.3.x users out there who can't get it working?) It may be that it didn't get installed/configured correctly.

Hmmm... so no love in 10.3.9 either? They both show the same error...

It's my wife's iBook (and the only truly "portable" OS X in the house) - the last time I upgraded the OS it was twitchy for months! She mainly uses it for web surfing from the couch and telnetting into the Unix boxes at her lab, so the OS isn't a high priority upgrade for her.
I guess its time to clone the startup drive and do the big 10.4!

As you know, I have had the 10.4 install disc on my desk for a while now, so with this dangling before me I just couldn't postpone it any longer. After some housecleaning, maintenance and the usual backup I successfully upgraded to 10.4.4.
Surprise! Your HDRcapOSX.app worked right away... (okay, there was a connection hiccup at first, but I power-cycled the DSLR and then it was golden). Pretty minimal, but it got my tethered Canon clicking away in no time. I have some questions about the operation, but that will be a separate email.
Something I also noticed when I unarchived the TAR in 10.4.4 was that a particular file (CanonHDRcap.app.BdF) was mis-named on extraction in 10.3 and 10.2, resulting in *two* "CanonHDRcap.app" files (one of which would be appended with a ".1" or "_1" depending on the extraction method).
Thinking the extraction might be the culprit, I copied this 10.4 extracted set of files to 10.2 and had the same old error of "Application Launch Failure. The application "(null)" could not be launched because of a shared library error: ")<CanonHDRcap> <CanonHDRcap> <RCSDKCarbon> <>". So I think there is something in the .app that is not cool in 10.2.8 (and maybe not 10.3.9, but that's gone now...)
Let me know if anyone else can get CanonHDRcap.app to work under anything other than 10.4! But, hey, it's working! Supercoolness...
