The distribution for windows was just a folder. (no installer).  So no icons.

Subject: [Jbeta] [Jprogramming] first 806 beta vailable : icons don't work    
(macOS)


[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)
