| [imp-dev] FYI: Build of LPG generator plugin fragment for 64-bit Mac OS X |
| Hi Folks, For those running on a 64-bit Java 6 JRE, you may have noticed that installing the LPG generator feature fails to install the LPG generator itself. You get everything *but* the generator. :-( [One visible symptom is that the LPG preferences page complains that the chosen executable is not a valid file.] The reason is that there was no plugin fragment for lpg.generator for 64-bit Mac OS X. This is partly due to the fact that the 32-bit binary works perfectly on 64-bit platforms (at least through 10.5 Leopard), so no one had ever bothered to build a plugin fragment specifically marked for the 64-bit Mac OS X runtime environment. So, I just built a plugin fragment for lpg.generator version 2.0.17 for 64-bit Mac OS X, and posted it to the LPG update site (http://lpg.sourceforge.net/updates). Let me know if you have any problems with this. -- Cheers, - Bob ------------------------------------------------- Robert M. Fuhrer Research Staff Member Programming Technologies Dept. IBM T.J.
