build SW bundle for MacOS

[buzzz]

Hi All,

I just see that in the ant build, we can bundle a mac app directly.

I build the jar on windows using ant.
But when I try to build the mac bundle, I obtain this error :



macosx10.4Bundle:
[move] Moving 1 file to C:\Users\toto\Desktop\SweetHome3D-7.1-src\install\macosx\10.4\SweetHome3D-7.1\Sweet Home 3D.app\Contents\Resources\Java

[exec] FINDá: format incorrect de paramΦtre

SweetHome3D-7.1-src\build.xml:865: exec returned: 2

I also have many questions :
- Maybe I need to build from a Mac ?
- For mac, which version of java/ant do I need ?
- I see that bundle uses Azul OpenJDK 15.0.2, I suppose I have to install this version before trying to build ?

Thx for help

Don't try macosx10.4Bundle target but rather the macosxBundle target in build.xml.
Both targets require lipo found in macOS tools, but if you target only Intel or ARM processor, you could only copy the Java version of your choice (if you want an Intel version, change 3 times [font=courier new]javaHome_macosx_arm64[/font] property by [font=courier new]javaHome_macosx_x86_64[/font]) and remove the the other calls to lipo used to build an Universal OpenJDK.
I never tried this tip under another system. If it doesn't work under Windows, remove or adapt the [font=courier new]exec[/font] tag which copies legal files with their symlinks). You could try also under to run Ant under Linux.

The Intel or ARM OpenJDK 15 must be installed in the folder indicated in the properties [font=courier new]javaHome_macosx_x86_64[/font] or [font=courier new]javaHome_macosx_arm64[/font].

Note that other targets like macosxInstaller and macosxSignedInstaller require also hdiutil and codesign which are tools of macOS.

Which version of eclipse do you recommend to open and run SW ?

[Puybaret]

No special version, I generally use the latest version of Eclipse but I don't update it each time a new version is released.
