Re: [Dr. Geo] Help on testing for Mac

[Oscar Nierstrasz]

No. It's exactly the same. If I double-click the Mac rejects it for security reasons. If I right-click to force an open dialog, I get a white screen. If I open the app folder and double click on the Squeak VM, it correctly opens the DrGeo image.

Cheers,

Oscar

Ho Oscar,

Thanks for the feedback.

Can you try this ones https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ycgq4u5epw79njbblv50i/DrGeo-mac-24.03a-beta.zip?rlkey=bzjoljgpe9eu96pi9iau1sm6n&dl=0

This build is older (same VM setup though), but I got success one month ago to run it on a Mac at school (the Mac are recent, about one year old). I will test again when I will have access to one of this mac.

Here is what I did to test on the Mac: I download the ZIP archive on the Mac Desktop, then uncompress it. I have then an App with its icon (it is a triangle with a circle passing the 3 summits). When I double clic this icon, it starts DrGeo.

Hi Hilaire,

I downloaded the image and tried it out. I think there is something wrong with the app configuration.

If I just double-click on the image, it opens, but then I get a white screen and nothing more.

I have to force quit the image to exit.

If on the other hand I run it from a terminal explicitly supplying the image as an argument to the VM, then it works. I can also open the app folder and just double click on the Squeak image and it will directly open the DrGeo image.

I am no expert in how Mac apps should be organized, but I see that GT for mac has only a Contents folder and Resource within that, whereas the DrGeo app has two Resources folders, one a sibling of Contents and the other a child. Perhaps that's a problem.

Cheers,

Oscar
