[jMusic-dev] classpath jmusic mac osx 10.4

[philip d. <p.d...@up...>]

Hi,

I bought the book Making music with Java and I downloaded the  
jMusic1.6.01.jar, couldnt find the jmusic1.5.tar.gz as mentioned on  
your download page, anyways.

I wrote a Bing.java file as in the getting started chapter and by  
javac Bing.java I got the messages that the packages jm.util and  
jm.music.data dont exist.

Guess it has something to do with setting the classpath, so I have  
some questions here.

The site says:

In OS X systems that use the bash shell by default it is the  
~/.bashrc file.

Creating a .bashrc file.

Assume you have put the jMusic folder in your User directory, use a  
text editor to create a file called .cshrc with the following  
(single) line in it. In OS X not all Aqua text editors can read or  
write files starting with a dot, as these are generally hidden. We  
suggest that you open a terminal and use the pico editor to create  
and or edit your .schrc file. Navigate to your home directory by  
typing cd ~. In the terminal type pico .bashrc then add the line below.

export CLASSPATH=.:$HOME/jMusic/jmusic.jar:$HOME/jMusic/inst/
Save the file in your user directory. e.g: /User/andrew/.basrc

Create (or edit an existing) a .profile file inthe same directory by  
typing pico .profile. Add the following line to the file:

. .bashrc

Save the file in your user directory. e.g: /User/andrew/.profile



So the name of the file is .cshrc but I type pico .bashrc in the  
terminal, correct?

export CLASSPATH=.:$HOME/jMusic/jmusic.jar:$HOME/jMusic/inst/

is HOME in this line literally copied, or do I have to put the name  
of my homedirectory here?

is it literally jmusic.jar in this line, or does it have to be:  
jMusic 1.6.01.jar ?

Do I save the file in the terminal or in my user directory?



4. Reshresh the teminal to utilise the changed environment variables.  
Open a terminal window (or quit and reopen if already open) to  
initiate the .cshrc file. (The terminal app is in the /Applications/ 
Utilities/ directory.) Use the commands javac filename.java or java  
filename to run jMusic files.



The initiation of the .cshrc file, goes that automatically once I  
open the terminal, or do I have to do some "extra" things?



Looking forward for your answers,



best regards,



Philip
