[FIXED] Need help getting it to run at all on a mac

Postby dragonwind » Sat Apr 07, 2007 9:29 am

Hi All,
I have downloaded and installed the latest Java for mac and JuniUploader.
The problem is that Juniuploader isn't being seen as a java app and I have no idea where to point it. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Chris

Need help getting it to run at all on a mac

jUU has not been tested on Mac. I added a little script that can be run to have it start which should theoretically run on a mac. It's called jUniUploader. I've no clue about how things work on Mac, so you'll need to figure out how to start that script yourself, I'm afraid.

You can always start the program manually by typing
java -cp bin:lib ui.Gui
on the command line, in the jUniUploader directory.

I'm working on packaging jUU so that you can just double-click it. Likely that will be the next release or one of those forthcoming.

Hi,

You can run the script by going to the Terminal (Utilities/terminal usually) and going to the directory where the script is ( cd whereverYouPutIt/jUniUploader/ ) and then running the script:
./jUniUploader

Make sure the capitalization is correct.

Another thing is that once started, and configured to look at the correct folder for WoW (recognises accounts and saved variables) is unable to start the WoW app itself. In case you don't know it (normal if you can't access a mac to test it) the wow app is named World of Warcraft.app
and as i don't know anything about how java works, is there any command or function that serves to open an specific named file but leaving the how and with what to the operating system (like the "open" command in unix) ?

Ok, hope it helps and as i said in a former post, if you need anything to help test the mac version of the code, just ask. I don't have access to a uniadmin interface, but can thest the upload part with my guild's roster.

C'ya! :)

Aha! .app extension.

I had asked someone what the name of the WoW executable was on mac and they said 'World of Warcraft'; which is what I used in the code. It probably hides known extension; like in Windows. I hate that; but now is not the time for a rant; thanks for reporting this =)

I've adjusted it, you will probably see that working in 0.7.5; at which point I'll also have a jar wrapper for it that will allow you to start jUU by clicking an icon ..

If there's anything else i can help you with, don't hesitate to ask.

0.9.5 was released just now. This release should make it a lot easier to start jUU. You basically just click jUniUploader.jar that's in the ZIP file (I suggest you extract it somewhere clever, along with its library called BaseSystem.jar).

It also fixes launching WoW in Mac
