Setting up and Testing on Mac OSX

[moffatt]

Hey, I'm kinda new to OSX, and I was trying to install lwjgl. I downloaded the current version, and checked if the files were all there. So far so good right? However, once I enter the command it says on the main page to test the setup, I get the following message:

$ java -cp .:res;jar/lwjgl.jar:jar/lwjgl_test.jar:jar/lwjgl_util.jar:jar/lwjgl_fmod3.jar:jar/lwjgl_devil.jar:jar/jinput.jar: -Djava.library.path=native org.lwfgl.test.WindowCreationTest

  or  java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]

where options include:

   -server       to select the "server" VM
   -jvm          is a synonym for the "client" VM  [deprecated]
   -hotspot      is a synonym for the "client" VM  [deprecated]
                 The default VM is client.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Also, which IDE would you recommend for Mac OSX.

i don't know if it's typo or not,
but you have ";" after ".:res", which should be ":".
hope that solves the issue.

i like Eclipse, but i use normal text editor with ant

With replacing the ; with the :, I'm now getting that the WindowCreationTest has no Class definition, exception in main.

$ java -cp .:res:jar/lwjgl.jar:jar/lwjgl_test.jar:jar/lwjgl_util.jar:jar/lwjgl_fmod3.jar:jar/lwjgl_devil.jar:jar/jinput.jar: -Djava.library.path=native org.lwfgl.test.WindowCreationTest
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/lwfgl/test/WindowCreationTest

Any help would be very appreciated.

I've just bought an iMac! w00t etc.
Let me suggest that you go download Eclipse 3.2M1 from www.eclipse.org and use that as your IDE, and forget all that commandline shit. I got Eclipse, installed, and within 10 minutes I was running Ultratron in the IDE.

you need to execute the command line in the root directory of the lwjgl directory.

say you downloaded "lwjgl-macosx-0.98-1.zip". Unzip it and then there will be a directory called "lwjgl-macosx-0.98-1" created. cd (command to change current working directory) to that directory and now execute the command line you have been trying.
