Mac OS X x86_64 smile binary

[dtodor]

Is there a plan to release a x86_64 binary for Mac OS X? Now that Java 6 is 64 bit, using jSmile requires to switch JVMs. Actually, I'm not quite sure whether it would be possible to create a 64 bit JNI library which uses the 32 bit version of smile.

We can probably do that, but give us some time to organize this. I will get back to you in a couple of weeks with more information. In the meantime, you could try to create a 64 bit JNI library using the 32 bit version of SMILE.

We don't have the capability to produce x64 binary for OSX. We're building SMILE for this platform on virtualized Darwin 8.0; its compiler can only emit PPC or 32-bit x86.

If anybody can provide us with Darwin VM with 64-bit capable gcc, we can certainly build 64-bit binary

I'm on Snow Leopard and just tried the compilation of jsmile with the "-arch i386" flag. It does compile, but smile does not run due to not being 64 bits (as far as I understand it, see below).

Our research project is playing with jsmile as a component, but I cannot run it anymore since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard.

What could we contribute for you to be able to build a 64 bits version on Darwin? What kind of OS are you on? What kind of virtual machine are you currently using?

VMWare image of Darwin or OSX with JDK installed and gcc version with the support for targetting x64.

I've been investigating the possibility of running Darwin 10 or OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) in a virtual machine. I think this is currently difficult.

People have gotten OSX 10.6 to run in VMWare on the Mac [1], but not on other platforms as far as I found. Even on a Mac this breaks the EULA.

Darwin 10 also does not seem to be a solution. Apple only provides the sources of the applications. There are attempts to create usable binaries, but currently only release based on Darwin 9 [2].

I would very much like to keep using Smile in our research project [3]. Is there perhaps another solution to produce a binary? I could for example compile an obfuscated version of the code, or provide SSH access to my laptop for a day.

I was able to build for x64, but can't verify if it runs correctly (my current platform only supports cross-compiles to 64-bit). You can download the file at http://genie.sis.pitt.edu/download/jsmi ... x64.tar.gz

Thanks for providing this x64 build. I've only done some minor testing, but it seems to work fine.

Many thanks for the effort!
