[Wrapper-user] Wrapper & MacOSX 10.9 (Mavericks)

[Dannes W. <di...@ex...>]

After upgrading to the latest MacOSX version (10.9) my application does not start anymore:

Starting this release, only the 64bit Java7 is available for the platform; somehow the scripts select the 32 bit version.

The problem seems to be caused in the following block:

# Resolve the architecture
if [ "$DIST_OS" = "macosx" ]
then
    OS_VER=`sw_vers | grep 'ProductVersion:' | grep -o '[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'`
    DIST_ARCH="universal"
    if [[ "$OS_VER" < "10.5.0" ]]
    then
        DIST_BITS="32"
    else
        if [ "X`sysctl -n hw.cpu64bit_capable`" == "X1" ]  
        then
            DIST_BITS="64"
        else
            DIST_BITS="32"
        fi
    fi
    APP_PLIST_BASE=${PLIST_DOMAIN}.${APP_NAME}
    APP_PLIST=${APP_PLIST_BASE}.plist


actually the following line cannot deal with the string "10.9":

OS_VER=`sw_vers | grep 'ProductVersion:' | grep -o '[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'`

some investigation shows that the MacOsX version of grep (2.5.1) is buggy: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug...@gn.../msg00993.html

The solution is to use egrep instead and modify the match pattern:

sw_vers | grep 'ProductVersion:' | egrep -o '[0-9]*\.[0-9]*(\.[0-9]*)?'

I hope it can be fixed in an upcoming release.
