"lipo" command requires command line developer tools prompt on latest update (3.75)

[mjoshea148]

Starting Pearcleaner results in prompt to install command line tools to execute the lido command.

Appears to be new behavior. Don't otherwise need command line tools.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Pearcleaner 3.75
2. Observe dialog to install command line tools
3. App appears to function normally otherwise

Unsure if this is a new requirement or bug.

Good catch, was actually not aware that the lipo command didn't come installed by default. Obviously I have xcode installed so didn't get this popup 😂
I'll work on this and get something out for next update.

So I'm running into some confusion here.
I checked 3 fresh macOS installs on different OS versions and they all come with the lipo command installed by default even when xcode command line tools is not installed.

> which lipo
/usr/bin/lipo

Either way, I'll switch to using the /usr/bin/file command which I'm 100% sure it's there by default just in case.

If you run which file on your system in Terminal, do you get the path I mentioned above?

[mjoshea148]

Confirmed - same path.

Cool, I'll release the update shortly using file instead of lipo.

Confirmed fix works :). Thank you. Please consider a career at any major software company. Not used to this kind of support!
