I installed the latest Weasis to a Macbook running MOJAVE 10.14 (last 32-bit version). As soon as it is launched it crashes. I have seen someone on Github report the same problem with the latest Weasis installed on Windows.

Is this a bug in the latest build?

Thanks Nicholas. It seems I am trying to install a 64-bit version of Weasis on a 32-bit MacOS. (I am surprised the installation went ahead at all without a warning.) Is it possible to download an old version of Weasis which runs on 32-bit? If so, where can I find it? Thank you once again.

Unfortunately, I can't advise you to use such a system on a daily basis, knowing that it hasn't had any security updates for several years. The only advice I can give is to switch to a system that is supported by its supplier.

As it's already a lot of effort to get Weasis supported on many systems and architectures, it's obvious that end-of-life systems can't be supported. Another reason is that I don't think it's appropriate to have a 32-bit system to view exams that can be several GB because of memory limitations.
