#8 Synthclipse 2.10 don't run on mac

[Pedro Lopez]

Hello kamil,
On last relese - synthclipse-2.1.0-eclipse-oxygen-macosx-cocoa-x86_64
To run the app I just needed to change the eclipse file to executable and happily it works.

eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse

ls -l
-rw-r--r--@ 1 eb staff 37056 18 dic 09:05 eclipse

chmod +x eclipse
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 eb staff 37056 18 dic 09:05 eclipse

I am using mac osx 10.11.6 in imac of 2007 and I am also testing it in a macbook pro 15 '' 2013 with 10.13.3

Thank you very much for your excellent software!!!!

Hi Pedro,
Thanks for the bug report and kind words!

I've just uploaded a fixed version:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/synthclipse/files/synthclipse-2.1.0/synthclipse-2.1.0-eclipse-oxygen-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz/download
Could you please verify that it works now? I don't have Mac to test it on.

Hi Kamil,

It's correct, it starts
but...

A lot of java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError appear linking this route : /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCommon/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib
Reason: image not found

Well, I've placed all the libraries on the route and from what I've seen so far it's working;)

I am at your disposal for any test you need on mac.

Best regards
Pedro

Thanks for checking!
I will see in the evening (CET time) if I will be able to fix broken paths inside dylib files and then I will ask you for help with testing.

BR,
Kamil

Hi Pedro,
Sorry for the delay. I've been doing much overtime at work lately.

Basically I know how to fix the .dylib files but I don't have a Mac to apply it (only some very old Mac Mini 10.8.0 Darwin which is not suitable for this task). The libraries were built by my friend but I don't have contact with him anymore.

May I ask you to fix the libraries? Here's how to do it:

# go to libraries folder
$ cd Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins/org.synthclipse.media-macosx-universal_2.0.1.201801232052/
# with otool you can list all hardcoded paths to other libs inside a dylib file:
$ otool -L libSynthclipseCore.dylib 

libSynthclipseCore.dylib:
    /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCore/libSynthclipseCore.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
    /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCommon/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
    @loader_path/libGLEW.dylib (compatibility version 1.11.0, current version 1.11.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 1153.18.0)
    /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 120.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1213.0.0)

# To fix the paths you need to use install_name_tool like below:

$ install_name_tool -change /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCommon/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib @loader_path/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib libSynthclipseCore.dylib
$ install_name_tool -change /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCore/libSynthclipseCore.dylib @loader_path/libSynthclipseCore.dylib libSynthclipseCore.dylib
$ install_name_tool -change /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCommon/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib @loader_path/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib libSynthclipseCommon.dylib
$ install_name_tool -change /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCommon/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib @loader_path/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib libSynthclipseIDECore.dylib
$ install_name_tool -change /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCore/libSynthclipseCore.dylib @loader_path/libSynthclipseCore.dylib libSynthclipseIDECore.dylib
$ install_name_tool -change /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseIDECore/libSynthclipseIDECore.dylib @loader_path/libSynthclipseIDECore.dylib libSynthclipseIDECore.dylib
$ install_name_tool -change /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCommon/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib @loader_path/libSynthclipseCommon.dylib libSynthclipseOpenEXR.dylib
$ install_name_tool -change /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseCore/libSynthclipseCore.dylib @loader_path/libSynthclipseCore.dylib libSynthclipseOpenEXR.dylib    
$ install_name_tool -change /Users/achoj/se/synthclipse_native/build/Release/SynthclipseOpenEXR/libSynthclipseOpenEXR.dylib @loader_path/libSynthclipseOpenEXR.dylib libSynthclipseOpenEXR.dylib

After applying install_name_tool to all mentioned libs please check with otool if the incorrect paths dissappeared.

If you will succeed please send me files:

libSynthclipseCore.dylib
libSynthclipseCommon.dylib 
libSynthclipseIDECore.dylib 
libSynthclipseOpenEXR.dylib 

to email address: synthclipse@gmail.com

Thanks in advance!
Kamil
