iRATE on Intel Mac

leŭksman

The current iRATE radio download for Mac from http://www.irateradio.com/ doesn't run on Intel; the JNLP downloader downloads the wrapper launcher, which extracts the app bundle, which then fails to run.

This gets dumped to the console:

Java for ppc cannot run in this configuration.
Please consult documentation.
/tmp/irate.brion/iRATE.app/Contents/MacOS/java_swt: Error starting up VM.

I'll have to check what the curent state of SWT for Mac/Intel is; hopefully a universal-friendly binary is still possible.

Progress

Trying fudging things around with SWT 3.2 milestone builds. It seems to partially work, but I think iRATE may be broken in SVN; I can get it to run but not function on PPC, and on Intel it starts but crashes while creating the new account. May want to check with an older (working) iRATE build and just swap out the SWT pieces to double-check.

Have made a dual-arch binary of libswtdock.jnilib, but it doesn't seem to be working yet (at least with the above bits). Need to test further. --Brion 22:37, 4 March 2006 (PST)
