<div dir="ltr">Unfortunately this is not true on MacOS, as we have discussed on this list before. 7.0.2 works; 7.8.2, 7.11.2, and 8.0.4 (at least from macports) do not work with xcrysden. The initialization of the window fails immediately with something like<div>

Note that you can also use a newer version of Mesa for xcrysden.<br>
The sole reason the old 7.x versions are used by xcrysden is that I find<br>
them much easier to compile than the newer Mesa versions.<br>
