[Sorry for cross-posting: I originally posted, in 2 separate messages, to
programming forum.]
(1) Once again with this (beta) release, under macOS Sierra (10.12.3) none of
the 3 icons
jcon.app
jhs.app
jqt.app
work: double-clicking (even right-clicking) does not open the corresponding
binary for any of them.
The corresponding binaries do work:
bin/jconsole
bin/jhs.command
bin/jqt.command
I did follow the instructions you point to (suitably modified from 805 to 806,
of course).
How to get the icons app icons to work??
(2) However, after I open jqt from the binary bin/jqt.command, although the jqt
window opens, none of the menu items is operable.
Further, if I run instead binary bin/jqt, I get only a console — no jqt window
— with error message shown below:
[me@:~]$ /Applications/j64-806/bin/jqt ; exit;
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt
platform plugin "cocoa"
in "".
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Abort trap: 6
logout
When following the 805 instructions for 806 instead, I did use “installer 0”,
and I do have folder
j64-806/Qt with subfolders Frameworks and plugins, both poppulated.
P.S. avx is working (when starting a binary directly)
