In windows, I have put jconsole.exe's icon to use getqtbin'' However there is also jconsole.cmd in j508. Do they both do the same thing. Is there a way to tell if the binaries are up to date?
JQt has a similar choice. In windows they haveicons. -----Original Message----- From: Beta [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J. Patrick Harrington Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2017 6:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Jbeta] [Jprogramming] first 806 beta vailable : icons don't work (macOS) The icon thing is interesting. I have a Mac mini running OS 10.12.3. I installed j64-806 on it according to instructions. It was easy compared to earlier releases, with the icons appearing on the desktop & all working. Unfortunately :-( the processor is not new and doesn't support avx. My small problem is with my new Dell xps 13, running ubuntu 16.04 (I got it with linux installed). Installing j64-806 goes smoothly and the three icons appear on the desktop. Jqt, which is what I normally use is fine. However, if I click on jc806 or jhs806, I get a window which contains the message "Unable to find a shell". The windows do not function. I can run jconsole or start jhs by going to thr j65-806 directory and running jconsole.sh or bin/jsh (there is no jhs.sh file). Would be nice if the jc and jhs icons could be coaxed to work. ... But really nice to have a trouble-free Mac install.
