xTimecomposer 13.1.0 fails on Mac OSX 10.9.5

Post by chrbo »

Hello,

the xTimecomposer fails on OSX Mavericks 10.9.5. Java is installed via homebrew cask (java 1.8_20). Java is working correctly.
The fail message is:

> /Applications/XMOS_xTIMEcomposer_Community_13.1.0/xtimecomposer_bin/xtimecomposer.app/Contents/MacOS/xtimecomposer
> JavaVM: Failed to load JVM: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_20.jdk/Contents/Home/bundle/Libraries/libserver.dylib
> JavaVM FATAL: Failed to load the jvm library.

What is going wrong?

Thanks and best regards

Checked with Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 with Oracle Java 1.8.20) and it works, so it seems to be no Java 8 problem.

I'm running 13.1 on OSX 10.9.5 okay.

Just a hunch, but is your version of Java 64-bit? I believe that for some reason Eclipse needs a 32-bit JRE even if you're running on a 64-bit OS.

Using the install button which pops up if you want to start the xTimecomposer without any Java installed, installs you a Java 1.6.0_65. With that Java version, the xTimecomposer works. It would be great, if there where support for a more recent Java version on OSX.
