Re: [Wrapper-user] UNIX & MAC INSTALLATION

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Bashiro,
    Sorry for the slow response, unfortunately as much as I would love 
to be able answer
every question promptly, it is not always possible to place the same 
level of priority on
free support for a free product as is given to other bill paying demands 
on my time.

    Anyway.  The Wrapper is a native application and thus requires 
separate downloads
for each platform that you wish to run on.   The wrapper.jar file is 
100% java and thus
cross platform.  Each individual distribution file contains all of the 
files that you need
for a given platform.

In the case of Windows, you download wrapper_win32_3.1.2.zip and then need:
    bin/wrapper.exe, lib/wrapper.dll, lib/wrapper.jar, along with conf 
and bat files.

For Solaris, you download wrapper_solaris_3.1.2.tar.gz and then need:
    bin/wrapper, lib/libwrapper.so, and lib/wrapper.jar, along with conf 
and sh files.

Same for MAC OSX, you download wrapper_macosx_3.1.2.tar.gz
    bin/wrapper, lib/libwrapper.jnilib, and lib/wrapper.jar, along with 
conf and sh files.

You can not use the native files for one platform on any other platform.

    The slight size differences between the jars in the platform 
specific releases are due
to differences in the JVM they were build with.  I am hoping to get that 
resolved in the
build process for the next release.

    Let me know if I misunderstood your question.

Cheers,
Leif
