Trying to Run GoWrite2 on Mac M2 Sonoma (14.2.1)

[psygo]

So far, I've tried it in 3 ways:

• Mac Release (3.2.4)
• Wine64 on Windows Executable
• Java Jar File

This is my Java version (`java --version`):

Code: Select all

openjdk 21.0.1 2023-10-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 21.0.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Homebrew (build 21.0.1, mixed mode, sharing)

---

This is what I get from trying to run the `.app` file from the Mac release (I had to shorten the error log a bit, otherwise it would pass the character limit, don't know why this forum doesn't let me upload a simple text attachment), in an error window ("GoWrite2 quit unexpectedly"):

This is what I get from the Wine attempt (`wine64 gowrite2_3_2_4.exe`):

[lpaatero]

Sorry for strict limits in the forum. Spamming has been quite a problem at time, and restrictions reduce spammers interests.

All of the problems look like issues with Java Runtime.

If anyone finds solution(s), please let me know.

[psygo]

Thank you for the quick reply, Lauri.

But do you know why I can't seem to be able to upload even "tiny" text files (100-200kb)?

Anyway, do you recommend I downgrade my Java runtime? Do you know if there's a version for which it surely works on Mac M2? Personally, I don't care much about my Java runtime version, I don't work with Java, and GoWrite2 is probably the only thing that's gonna use it.

[lpaatero]

I know very little about macs, I do not have one myself.

GOWrite inb mac does not do anything fancy, so difficult to say why the problem.

One possible thing to try is to update the startup script.

I think most recent startup script is in https://github.com/AstroImageJ/universa ... 104.011701.
You can find universalJavaApplicationStub inside GOWrite mac app; replace it with one from the link above.

Update: 3.2.6 contains updated dependency (look&feel), that could be the problem. Please test 3.2.6!

[psygo]

Sorry for the delay.

But 3.2.6 also seems to error out, unfortunately.

This is the Mac release error log:

[lpaatero]

To me it somehow looks like Java itself is failing. You could test if other java+GUI software is working.

Solving this without lots of trialing would require debugging with Mac. I do not have one, so I cannot do this.

Lauri

[lpaatero]

Do other mac users see this problem?
Please let us know!
