The about dialog now outputs the OS version next to the 'Ver:' label in the About dialog, but this hasnt been implemented yet for Mac OS, as i noticed in Alex build info (bug 96359 comment 1). It is possible to get the Mac OS X version from the commandline from the 'sw_vers -productVersion' or 'system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType' commands, which pulls it from one of the following files. /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist = References = https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/sw_vers.1.html http://superuser.com/questions/75166/how-to-find-out-mac-os-x-version-from-terminal#75206
Thanks for filing Jay; the code is easy to find here: vcl/inc/salinst.hxx: + /// get information about underlying versions + virtual OUString getOSVersion() { return OUString("-"); } which is what is used for Mac; so we need to override this method for: vcl/inc/osx/salinst.h and implement it for the osx backend. git grep -10 ::getOSVersion to see the windows and linux implementations. Thanks ! =)
It appears this is unassigned. I'm going to look through the code to make sure this isn't already fixed, if it is still an issue, I will go ahead and give the fix a shot.
Hi Oliver, I've submitted a patch yesterday which likely needs additional work to get it running. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/20634/

tested w latest available master from 2015-12-31 and no OS X info to be found in the about dialog. So assuming this not fixed, yet. iplaw also just checked this in his latest master build from last night and also found no OS version. He found a placeholder "OS Version" but that was blank. Oliver, can you look into this and see if you are able to get it fixed? This is what the latest public available master build has in about: Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 4c23184a115b607f19a32134f8c91d6f9df61ade CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: -; UI Render: default; TinderBox: MacOSX-x86_64@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-12-31_00:10:52 Locale: de-DE (de.UTF-8)
Jay, I'll take a look at that patch, thanks. Sorry for the slow progress I made the mistake of taking up the charge on this around the same time that I was moving twice in three weeks.
I don't yet have my OS X system setup with lode, but if you want to see how the utility gets the version then the sourcecode is available here: http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/DarwinTools/DarwinTools-1/sw_vers.c

Douglas Mencken has helped out here with a patch that implements this functionality. Yousuf, thanks for your efforts it was a good attempt :-) I've tested out Douglas's commit, and it works very well so I've pushed it to master.

Looking at the patch, it would be useful to check the relevance of /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist, as sw_vers does utilize it, possibly for Mac servers.
Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 49b5eed56c470975927bb7b0328337ab8a76a910 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Mac OS X 10.11.3; UI Render: default; TinderBox: MacOSX-x86_64@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2016-01-24_06:50:29 Locale: de-DE (de.UTF-8) Verified. Great stuff, looking forward to better bug reports (:
With steve confirming it works, it would be good to backport this into 5.1.
Backport to 5.1 submitted to gerrit.
