Bug? Segmentation fault: 11 [...]
Premise: I did the MAC OS installation myself (MAC OS 10.12.6 (16G29), Flare Engine v0.19)
I am getting these issues (with the mods fantasycore and alpha_demo active), after creating the character:

Segmentation fault: 11
I am also getting resolution issues when activating the mod minicore (low res, can't find buttons at the right place).
Any clue..? Merci.
I can confirm a crash there, but I'm not sure yet about a fix. I've opened an issue for it on Github: https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-engine/issues/1516
Don't worry about minicore. It is intended for handheld devices that don't have much memory for higher resolution textures. You don't need to enable it if you're playing on a normal computer.
So this appears to be a sound bug in SDL 2.0.6. You can try downgrading to SDL 2.0.5, which has no crashes on my end.
Thanks, and eager to try it.
Incidentally, if you have a suggestion on how to install sdl 2.0.5 on MAC OS, I spent about one hour trying to figure out how to do it using homebrew and it does not look easy, now that they have discontinued old version support. Maybe I should just forget about using homebrew..
Actually -- managed to uninstall sdl 2.0.6 and install sdl 2.0.6, taking a stab at the other packages (which depend on sdl2) following the same strategy
brew uninstall sdl2_ttf --force
brew uninstall sdl2_mixer --force
brew uninstall sdl2_image --force
brew uninstall sdl2 --force
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/f028fb4ac27b8b8...
brew pin sdl2

This bug was fixed in SDL 2.0.7. So update to that if you can.
And... it worked!
Thank you for following up, you did save me a lot of time sorting out library versions.
