Any chance of macos support? I tried running the jar, but didn't get very far, the jar seems to include binaries macos binaries for both x86 and arm, but it didn't want to start.

View on HN

Tried running with following JDK on mac, but don't see any screen after the initial few messages:

Setris-1.2_LINUX % java -version openjdk version "17.0.7" 2023-04-18 OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.7+7 (build 17.0.7+7) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-17.0.7+7 (build 17.0.7+7, mixed mode, sharing)

Setris-1.2_LINUX % java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar setris-desktop-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar [30.05.23][12:16:41] Loading Assets [30.05.23][12:16:41] Done. [30.05.23][12:16:41] Starting UI Subsystem ^C% Setris-1.2_LINUX %

It's not officially supported as I can't test it myself. It should work in theory but as far as I know it nobody got it to run yet.

`java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar setris-desktop-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar`

I had to add the start on first thread flag to prevent errors and start a launch. I do get stuck after `Starting UI Subsystem` gets logged but I havent put any real effort into trying to debug that yet.

I get this when run with homebrew's openjdk (which is JDK 20, I think):

  mikaeleiman@iMac ~/D/Setris-1.2_LINUX> java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar setris-desktop-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
  [LWJGL] [ThreadLocalUtil] Unsupported JNI version detected, this may result in a crash. Please inform LWJGL developers.

A window is opened, looks like the title screen with the text "press A". But nothing happens when I press keys, A or others.

Maybe related to the LWJGL warning?

I know little of how Java works, and especially how to override libs, but I did try downloading lwjgl's latest release and put all its jars in the classpath:

  CLASSPATH=(string join ':' (find . | grep jar | grep lwjgl)) java  -XstartOnFirstThread -Xmx4G -jar setris-desktop-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar

(fish instead of bash; the "string join" part takes all the jar paths and joins them on a single line with colon separators)

Same output and behavior, though.

Also tried with an older JDK (version 17), but that fails to even open a window.

Perhaps someone can sponsor access to a macOS VM? Renting a Mac Mini M1 is $0.11 per hour at Scaleway.com (by the way, their launch video is hilarious https://youtu.be/jZJnrKjfA3s )

That is the weirdest Saas company video I’ve ever seen…

I just have it running on an emulator on my machine, unfortunately.
