RES: [Gvsig_english] SEXTANTE for Mac OS X

[Rafhael Bussolo da Silva]

Hi vinicius,

I had this problem, but in windows environment... this happened because I had instaled the gvSIG 1.1... after I updated to 1.1.1 and reinstall the Sextante package, the gvSIG start to run as well.

So, see your version and check it.

Cheers.

Assunto: Re: [Gvsig_english] SEXTANTE for Mac OS X

Hello,

I am a gvSIG Mac user and I am trying to install the Sextante tools. I downloaded the zip file with the Sextante extensions and moved them into the extensions folder in the Java folder. After doing this, gvSIG doesn't open. It appears in the dock, bounces the autoinstaller icon. Then the build 1045 icon appears and bounces once and then nothing happens.

Thanks,

vinicius

Yes, that is a known problem. SEXTANTE's installer can't cope with the
kind of directory structure (bundle, package) that OS X uses for its
applications; so we are in the process of customizing SEXTANTE's
installer or our bundle's structure so "it just works".

In keeping with the Macintosh tradition, gvSIG uses no installer;
"gvSIG autoinstall.app" is the gvSIG application, but if necessary it
will offer to install whatever it needs on its first run. So you can
put gvSIG.app wherever you choose;  the Applications folder is the
typical place, of course.

Again, the problem is that SEXTANTE's intaller does not understand OS
X bundles.
That being said, if you are in a hurry to try SEXTANTE and don't want
to wait for us to release a OS X-specific (or OS X-aware) solution, you
can use a workaround:
--locate the folder gvSIG_autoinstall.
app/Contents/Resources/gvSIG/gvSIG.app/Contents/Resources/Java
--move it to a "normal" folder, outside any bundle
--use SEXTANTE's installer on that "Java" folder
--move the "Java" folder again to its original place

Note that this way, SEXTANTE installs, but not all of its
functionalities are readily usable in OS X. For example, SEXTANTE's
command line depends on sextante_cmd.jar, which get installed in said
Java folder and so is not immediately executable in OS X. Sextante_cmd.
jar's related shell/batch scripts are installed there too, and need
minor edits to be usable.

Anyway, we expect to have a full, proper OS X solution as soon as time
allows.

Best regards.
